Jayson Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Cant find myself that able to care about this. Our season needed some drama anyway, be interesting to see how we do without him at the games. What will his position be if we abolutely rinse the league without him on the touchline? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 7 games is a hell of a long time for a manager not to be able to stand on the touchline TBF. It will definitely get to him in a big way. It'll provide some excellent evidence for the efficacy of his half time team talks though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Meh, it's a sensible ban imo. I think his touchline ban maybe should have been a little longer like to prevent him from nutting people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Be interesting to hear how the stadium ban will work. Does it mean he can't communicate with anyone at the club on the day of the match until the final whistle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Surprised the FA didn't add on any suspended ban in view of his previous. I'm not. I always knew they would be lenient despite all the talk of making an example of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Everyone's joking about it but I can totally see us going for it a bit more in matches now we've got 40+ points. Pardew might feel he can't lose that way; either we win some matches and he says that's how he set the team up or we lose and he says it's because without him we were naive.

You and your 'small sample sizes' when it comes to defending Pardew and our early cup exits. You and your inability to grasp arguments. Welcome to IanWorld, where absolutely f***ing everything is a coincidence! What have I said that means that? My point is that many clubs prioritise the league over the cup, and many clubs find Europa a hassle they could do without. This is still a fact. BTW if it was up to me we would prioritise the FA Cup over everything. Is it just a coincidence then that (as per Wullie's post above) we have performed worse in the cups than all 19 other Premier League clubs over the last 7 seasons? That's very difficult to answer. We are worse than some of those teams, so that accounts for some of them. The others, I don't know enough about all the lineups, events of the match and anything else to say. The sample size is very small for it to be analysed just on numbers. I'm not seeking to explain away all out bad results. I'm saying our priorities are similar to a lot of clubs. IMO it's a problem with the structure of English football rather than us specifically. And as I said, as a fan I disagree with our priorities as I'm desperate to win a trophy. We weren't that awesome in the cups before Pardew TBF. His tenure really isn't long enough to provide any kind of sample for decent analysis. That said, I do agree we should be focusing on winning a cup much more than we are. You and your flawed logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
