Pilko Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thought the team selection today was spot on, and then after 70-odd minutes we got a reminder that we're just a 3+ goal defeat away from Williamson, Gouffran and Ryan Taylor coming in to 'steady the ship'; he's fucking desperate to get them on the pitch. Whenever we're winning away from home (yeah not often) he seems to use this as a chance to give the shite players a runout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leek Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Today I've conceded that we'll wont be getting rid of the cunt for the foreseeable future and actually took some enjoyment seeing us win. If it werent for Perez, Abeid, Aarrons, Cabella and Sissoko i'd happily take no interest whatsoever but for now I'm just about content on forgetting this cunt in the dugout and supporting us, purely on the fact I dont see these players fall by the wayside.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Being bailed out by the players and poor opposition. The two goals aside today, we were very poor I thought. Just as well WBA were even poorer. Constant long balls to Ameobi and Perez? Colo and Dummet getting too tight to their forwards? Constant sideways and backwards passing from our midfield? A Pardew wet dream of a performance and a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right the team played exactly how he wants it to and has done for a few games now, but we all know it relies on individualism, huge dollops of fortune, misfiring opposition and uber team spirit. Its not sustainable. And its god awful to watch. I enjoyed Colo's goal and welcome the win despite feeling no real degree of delight with it, but that style of football is like sticking needles into your own eyeballs or something.

Guest Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The only players in todays 11 that are droppable are Colback and Ameobi. Colback wont be dropped and there is no alternative to Ameobi until Aarons is back. De Jong for Colback, Aarons for Ameobi and eventually Santon for Haidara and that would be my XI at the minute.

Happy Face Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What are your current feelings about Alan Pardew, Happy Face? Same as the day he got the job. Complete charlatan as a manager and should be nowhere near Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Pardew Points %'s 10/11 - 40.9% 11/12 - 57.0% 12/13 - 36.0% 13/14 - 43.0% 14/15 - 48.5% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that now, four wins in a row? Quite the statistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 People had me down as a fan of his because I've always been fair. I don't just cherry pick stats that make him look bad. I hoy up whatever I find interesting, good or bad. I'm under no illusions that any period of good fortune he walks into makes him a better manager. No matter what results we pull off, the performances are rarely at an acceptable level. Unfortunately his survival depends on the numbers rather than the spectacle, and he seems to be coming out of a punishing period with some of his better looking numbers of recent seasons.
