Hughesy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'd have Bruce over Pardew like. Not that I'd want Bruce, but considering he's never led a big team his record is far better than Pardew's. Was interested to see how they compared so checked wiki - Bruce has a career win percentage of 37.39 from 666 games to Pardew's 42.73 from 674. That's why I included the bit about Bruce never having led a big team. Pardew's win percentage is boosted by his wins with us and leading high profile lower league teams. I am sorry - I want Pardew out as much as the next man, but what does this even mean? A manager's win ratio is boosted by winning games. Who would have thought it? Should we not count Pardew's wins with us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drifts in from wide right, fair enough. Still hasn't done much since he joined. In the infamous 81 crosses game, he was just launching crosses into the box. Just like Kagawa, it's not working and the problems don't lie with either player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Not jealous of anyone winning that cup, mind. I find that very hard to believe. Middlesbrough won it 10 years back. Why would I want to end a 5 decade drought with that? No thanks. It's indicative of ambition. Which is something this club lacks from top to bottom. And that won't change, so why bother? The ambition would be great but ending the drought with a LC win would feel a massive anticlimax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ambition would be great but ending the drought with a LC win would feel a massive anticlimax. Why does that have to be the climax? Surely a team that shows enough ambition to compete for a cup isn't suddenly going to lie down and settle for mediocrity. Any club that doesn't come out and say, "Our goal is to win football matches and be the best club we possibly can be," is utterly pointless, even if the club has no realistic chance of achieving those goals. What's the point of even playing the game if not to succeed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't really want us to win the LC as a means to end the drought. Pointless talking like this because the current NUFC is winning nothing, ever.

The College Dropout Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If we ever won the LC the floodgates would open. I'm certain anything less than oil money NUFC would choke every time in a FA Cup or EL final. Too much pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
