Darth Crooks Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I do love, and by that I mean hate how that point of view is long term thinking; as if we haven't thought of beyond the immediacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Officially worse than Souness? I can't choose between them anymore. Don't think we have ever had a more incompetent and clueless manager. He was far worse ages ago imo. Worst manager we've had in my lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Chrsit, just when i thougth I couldn't hate some of our fans anymore. This is the top rated thread on the NUFC subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/NUFC/comments/2f5wac/call_me_optimistic_but_i_think_well_be_alright/?sort=top But my main point is that we're not in trouble. We have got a team this year for "mid-table mediocrity", but why is that a bad thing? It's not like we're going to compete for the top 4 this season, and sure Europa league places would be nice, but why splash a tonne of cash to challenge for Europa. If people can just look past the immediacy of the situation then surely if we're not in trouble, mid-table mediocrity is fine for now. Just because Ashley's building for the future and 'we all hate Ashley', doesn't what's happening is bad. A good idea from a bad person is still a good idea (not that I think he's a bad person). Hatem Ben Arfa: 27 years old, no position and every manager he's had has washed their hands of him. Blaming Pardew or NUFC for this is fucking stupid. Played some of the best football of his career under Pardew's coaching and tactics. Unbelievable. Not being funny, but those "fans" surely don't fucking watch us or keep up to date with things.

Vinny Green Balls Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 and what are these idiots' ideas of a long term plan? It certainly wasn't the fucking 5 year one. Unless it was to start from midtable, get relegated, and end up back at midtable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Officially worse than Souness? I can't choose between them anymore. Don't think we have ever had a more incompetent and clueless manager. He's much worse, if only because of how long he's been here. He's probably worse than Souness on every level and I didn't think we'd ever sink to that level.

BONTEMPI Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Can see him cracking over the next 3-4 games, just as long as home support gives him a good mauling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have deep seated hatred of Souness more than any other manager we have had. I remember being amazed looking back and unbelievably angry he lasted as long as he did at the time, however his tenure pails in compare to Pardew. When can this hell be over.

Wullie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He's way worse than Souness - the sheer lack of accountability sees to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Officially worse than Souness? I can't choose between them anymore. Don't think we have ever had a more incompetent and clueless manager. IMO yes. I've said similar about this before but Souness at least had a competitive mentality. He wanted to go out and win games, win things. He was an absolute shitnado while here but at least he wasn't a craven, spineless twat. Just ... you know ... a twat.

Vinny Green Balls Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 No. I would have Roeder over Pardew any day. That felt like plain mediocrity. This today with that prick feels like something much more sinister and damaging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got shot of when it became clear how limited he was. Pardew has been limited since day one. Joey Barton said it, The King is dead, long live the King. Oh how ironic that is now.

Guest n4e Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Just posted on their. Fucking morons who are clearly either not fans or happy with being fucking mediocre. I can't believe what I'm reading on their to be honest. People are actually agreign with these points On Pardew, he's impressed me so far this year. Christ he's been a twat in the past, but the way he's set up looks surprisingly progressive and looks like he's placing a huge amount of emphasis on the currently absent Tioté. Cabaye was transformed into something of a 10 from more of a deep lying playmaker. Under Pardew he became one of the most complete midfielders to grace the game.
