Decky Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Beat the mackems and finish top 10. It would take a special kind of fuck up to not achieve the latter at this stage, but Pardew is more than capable. I honestly can't see us winning the derby either after the last two outings. I'd take a draw in it now tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Go through the motions then attempt to do it all over again in August. Rinse and repeat. Forget about challenging for Cups, they're not valuable enough. Forget about competing in Europe, the manager can't handle it. Forget about investing in the team, the owner wants to break even. Just don't go down, that's the limit of the ambition these utter cunts have. Just don't go down, it fucking stinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nothing left to play for so it will be a case of hopefully achieving a top half finish, probably out of contention for Europe well before the season draws to a close. We'll continue to have mixed results because we have a quality squad of players, but we'll lose games where we should win just because other sides are better organised and motivated than ours. Same again next year I expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Wonder if there will be an insincere offer of bonuses if we do something on the last day of the season again, followed by an amazingly meek failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think we'll trail off with a whimper now, jobs done, we're all but safe and no silverwear left to play for, I'd be surprised if we pick up many more points now. We've hit that wall of negativity again and Pardew doesn't know how to get out of a rut historically, I don't fancy our chances of shaking it off. Given the last couple of weeks I honestly feel like we're gonna have another Liverpool/Scum back to back games last season only substitute Liverpool with City. Icing on the cake!

Disco Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Wonder if there will be an insincere offer of bonuses if we do something on the last day of the season again, followed by an amazingly meek failure. JFK has already stated in the programme that they're all quids in for top 10. Not sure whether that'll include the non-footballing staff that usually get this cash whipped away from them on the final day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Our next set of fixtures don't look so good. City, 2 away games (West Ham and Norwich), mackems, Chelsea away, then Spurs. We'd need to be finding our form again quick as fuck after City or we definitely will be in a rut. We're not getting anything from City, and if we don't win one of those two away games the pressure for the mackem game will be massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenrot Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 These are my targets for the season: - Beat the mackems (& their relegation) - Try and get 7th - Secure HBA to new contract (unlikely) - Sign Remy Thats it.

TRon Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 They're all mercenaries man. They certainly don't come here to win anything. One thing that does offer a slight glimmer of hope is our predominantly French squad will be wanting to perform for their WC places if nothing else. We've already seen how Pardew's arse licking didn't have much effect when Cabaye decided to down tools, but when Deschamps kicked him up the arse and dropped him from the French squad, he quickly got in line.

NG32 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Flogg Cabaye and pick up a couple of home wins and secure league status. Job Complete. Blab about investment in the team all summer then at the last minute say the squads good enough to compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Wonder whether Ashley sees the World Cup as being a way of getting more for Cabaye, or whether he'd rather just take the money now. Either way, that's probably what needs to happen before we make any further significant investment in playing staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, but the fact he sacked us off just to go to QPR and then came grovelling back after they got relegated means I can never like him.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'd sooner see us in this position than the one we were in last season. I agree with that.

MinnesotaMagpie Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It is so depressing to think about the rest of this season. Come to think of it, not just this season, but all the future ones as long as we have a cowardly manager and an owner that has no ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
