Wallace Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I am perplexed by the message coming out of the club that there is nothing to worry about - a few teething problems to sort out and then everything will be OK. Do they really believe that? There seems to be so much complacency in the club's attitude. Also, the number of pundits that seem to think that maybe the season will be struggle but we will survive. They are obviously not really paying attention to what is going on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense the media want us down so they can preach that we are where we belong and we're not a top 4 club like the fans think we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It might academic because we're likely to receive multiple hammerings as soon as we face some decent teams. Leicester (h) Spurs (a) Liverpool (h) West Brom (a) QPR (h) West Ham (a) Burnley (a) Chelsea (h) Arsenal (a) Sunderland (h) Man U (a) Everton (h) before we start with the reverse fixtures We'll be lucky to be on 10 points if we don't beat Leicester, it's that bad. Edit: these fixture lists are allowed nowadays, aren't they? if things go as well as you could reasonably expect you're probably looking at 9-10 points from those games at the absolute, absolute maximum (beat leicester, burnley & QPR then a point somewhere) - but even then that's only 14 f***ing points turning in to the second half of the season we're done What does Ashley not see here? Or what is he seeing that we're not? Surely he's arsed about us going down? It's in black and white, with that run of fixtures he's banking on us making 30 points from the reverse fixtures, when you consider that we couldn't do a 3rd of that so far there's no nails left to put in our coffin. He hasn't got the knowledge of Football to look at those fixtures and see anything, he has to be told what he's seeing by his mates. Pardew will be telling him "its only 7 games" and "but we have injuries and too many new players bedding in". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This pr guru has done a f***ing fantastic job, you must say. Guess who wins again? Has he? Each article makes me want us to lose more and more. Really not sure this is going to calm people down at all. When we lose to Leicester it will all kick off.

Don't forget the ACON The reality is that we're as good as down already and that Alan Pardew will be managing us in the Championship next season.

Hes also experienced a relegation and must see the same signs are there. My only thought is he switched and changed so much that season that maybe he sees changing a manager as a risky procedure itself? Half of me thinks he's being stubborn just to piss the fans off, he likes to butt heads, even to his own detriment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of me thinks he's being stubborn just to piss the fans off, he likes to butt heads, even to his own detriment. for a club that went to the trouble of commissioning research to prove being shit in the cups was actually good for the club you'd have thought they'd have at least had a look at historical manager changes and seen the benefits of making the changes early the problems in the relegation season all came too late; changing early works, hanging on and making late changes rarely does just seems to be a general lack of awareness from anyone but the fans that we're in a relegation battle already and will likely not have 15 points at the halfway point of the season, it's fucking weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Seeing as Ashley was fond of stats in proving that cups are an utter waste of time I wonder what the points per game ratio was for the second half of the season we finished fifth and if this would be enough should we have less than fifteen points come the turn of the year.

Heake Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 There's only one stat that matters to me at the moment: We`re into mid October & we still haven't won 3 points yet.
