What was the toon travelling fans at Liverpool reaction during game apart from the 2 banners on Sky ?

 

Hard to tell on Sky because they always mute the away fans and amplify the home fans at Anfield.

What is your verdict on Newcastle's season? [Poor]

With several managerial changes, this Premier League season was always going to be a transitional one on the whole. We had as good a chance of any as exploiting the shake-up, but we made no concerted attempt to do so. To have finished 10th - behind the likes of Stoke and Southampton and barely ahead of Palace - was a serious underachievement, regardless of the 'improvement' on last season's horror-show.

 

 

What is your view on Alan Pardew's future at Newcastle? [sack him]

Put simply, he is a poor manager.

 

The 'stability' argument that the club perpetuates is undermined by the fact that Pardew has no footballing philosophy, save for an underlying negativity in everything he does. The transfer policy is one thing (a policy he is complicit in, by the way), but I have absolutely no faith in him to improve players that blend into the side, be it via the academy, or from overseas.

 

Tactically, he is negative and short-sighted. His man-management is woeful, due to his own personal indiscipline and preference of graft over flair. I'm not going to sit and type out all the horrendous stats you can attribute to the bloke - they're all over social media anyway.

 

On top of this, he continually undermines the club and the area. I think he talks complete nonsense in the media. Again, I'm not going to reel off examples because I'll be here all day.

 

 

How happy are you with the ownership of the club? [unhappy]

There are actually one or two extremely minor elements of the club's policies I like. I think building a young, successful squad without spending vast sums of money IS possible; and if we were to do so, it would be a tremendous slap-in-the-face to the footballing elite who perpetuate the notion that success needs to be bought, rather than built.

 

However, our frugality is through a lack of ambition - not a concious attempt to play the game a certain way.

 

I actually think that Pardew is 'worse' than Ashley. By that I mean, I actually believe the club could be successful with a different manager. For example, Ashley hates the idea of the Europa League, because an incompetent - his manager - has shown that being involved in that competition is detrimental. If we had a better manager who relished the prospect and could actually juggle a European campaign with a domestic one, Ashley's attitude might be slightly different.

 

However, there is still an underlying theme of 'ambition-less-ness' at the club that won't disappear until Ashley is gone. I'd love someone to buy our club.

 

One question to Pards:

What motivates you to continue as Newcastle United manager when your owner doesn't back you, your best players dislike you, and the fanbase actively wants you to leave?

 

One question to Ashley:

What will it take to convince you to be ambitious?

Excellent. Our answers almost certainly won't mean anything but it's bloody therapeutic.

On sky it didn't come through nearly as poisonous as I'd hoped for.

That is sad really considering the media blitz for that game

I found it hard to get it all out in one go. I didn't bother with asking him a question because he's a complete liar.

First half that team held their own, but Liverpool looked toothless. I think it was as much us playing half decent as it was them playing below what they can. We collapsed, shipping two goals in around 3 minutes and that was it. We offered next to nowt second half.

Text the wife during the game:

 

"Watching the Newcastle game, amazing that we're actually winning"

"Wow, that's great!"

"Haha, no we're losing now. And had a man sent off!"

 

All in about 5 minutes. :lol:

Something really weird has just happened.

 

Me: @firetotheworks: Just 50% of matches lost under Pardew then. With around ~37% of those being by 3 goals or more.#NUFC

Other guy: Cannot blame Pardew with the funds and lack of support he has received from above, and players bering sold beneath him. #Nufc

Me: You absolutely can. No one has been sold from beneath him, not Ba, not Cabaye, he is complicit. Read this: [Wullie's article]

Other guy: great article. Opens the eyes! Let's pray for a good and "entertaining" 2014-2015 season and hope Ben Arfa is still with us

Another one to swallow the red pill.

So I guess at some point later this week we'll know for sure what is to happen to Pardew. Must say I was damn nearly sure Liverpool was his swan song, now I feel like he's going nowhere, absolutely gutting. Absolutely detest the man, can't even bring myself to read his quotes and not watched any of his pressers for ages, the mere sound of his voice makes my blood boil, I'm usually quite placid too so no mean feat.

 

Not sure I can stomach another game with him in charge, let alone a season. For health reasons I won't be watching!

I don't want to win a single game while this smug cunt is in charge. He's lost me now to the point of absolutely no fucking return. Don't want to hear how good he was for being resilient or whatever other buzzword he may choose.

"Liverpool then got two goals but with 10 men it was always going to be difficult"

 

:lol: Just blatantly re-writing history and hoping no-one will notice.

 

Called it:

 

"We was in control until Shols got sent off."

"But Alan, you were down 2-1 by then?"

"We was tired after being in control."
