Honestly, feel like punching this c*** straight in the mouth as soon as he starts speaking.

 

So f***ing smug man.

That noise he makes when he pauses. It makes me ill.

 

You mean that godawful licking his lips sound? It makes me ill too.

Happy to be a critic of Pardew but he got it right today. We are well suited to teams trying to dominate us and are getting better on the break. Would have been interesting if Abied was fit to see if he would have started ahead of Tiote. Was Cabella injured or just a tactical sub?

Comments from someone on FB, when I stated I wasn't eating humble pie, or being fickle about Pardew...

 

"You ****ing with me? You want him sacked for what? To be replaced by who? The third question's the burning one. Under the current regime, who's going to come in and do better? Pardew's no genius, but he's no slouch: you ought to be thanking him for doing so well given the resources available to him and the financial constraints he's working under.

 

Hatem's coming back though so ..."

Resources and financial constraints :facepalm:

 

These numpties do not realize that it's the talent of our players which has pulled us through time and time again, rather than the manager knowing what to do given any set of players because he likes to play a certain way that gets results. We consistently get pulled out of the shit by purples hitting purple patches for long enough to keep us in this division.

 

There has been a marked difference in Pardew's use of Gouffran as a defensive winger though, and for that I give him credit.

Loads of people simply parrot what they've read in the press & heard from professional pundits on TV and radio.  They can recognise when something is going wrong but get a lot of conflicting messages about the cause, you get former players giving interviews to say that it's the player's fault, too many foreigners unused to the style of football, etc.  They'll say that Pardew is doing as well as he can with the resources he has been given (partially true, it is possibly the best he can do with the players), that it's all Ashley's fault for not spending more money (again, partially true, he could spend more money).

 

You have to remember that Pardew, Bruce, Pulis, Allardyce, etc. are considered top English managers, yet loads of people consider them to be blithering idiots.  The vast majority of managers aren't exactly intellectual elites, most of them will have largely dropped out of mainstream education age 14-16 to devote themselves to football and yet we're amazed that managers who didn't play professionally (Mourinho) or who later went into further & higher education (van Gaal, Wenger) turn out to be the best managers around.  I suspect that a huge proportion of Football Manager players would run rings around most "top" managers if it weren't for the fact that the players wouldn't take notice of them since they had no background in football.

 

People will believe the "experts" despite a lot of the pundits being coaches who aren't going to slag off a potential employer, or managers who aren't willing to have a go at a friend & colleague so that when they get their own chance again they'll hope to be given the same ludicrous leeway that Pardew gets, or former players who completely out of touch with the modern game.  A lot of the press are just as bad, they won't be truly critical of the club in case their access is removed (look at the difference in reporting before & after media outlets have been banned by the club) or, like the local press, the writing is so incompetent that school kids would get in trouble for submitting such badly written rubbish.

 

We're supposed to listen to experts like Andy Cole and respect his opinion, the same Andy Cole who was banned from talking to the press by us and Man Utd for years because everyone recognised that he could barely string a sentence together.  Nicky Butt tells us that Pardew needs to win a cup as if that's some amazing revelation, why did no one else ever consider winning a cup as a way to please fans?  Absolute fuckwits the whole lot of them.

It's times like these that reveal the vast unthinking mob rule of bad punditry. They accuse Newcastle fans of being fickle and having short memories not thinking that we have longer memories and know that for the decent runs of results Pardew also brings awful runs of results, that maybe it is actually legitimate to want to be entertained, to try and win the cups and that mid table mediocrity is actually a really shit thing for fans of any club to have to put up with. But no it's a patronising 'know your place, you should be happy at not being relegated' to any club that isn't rich enough that if they're not winning the league it's a crime. I don't like Pardew because I want to watch attacking good football when I watch Newcastle. It's not such a big fucking ask.

I wish I could Get everyone to read this before entering a conversation about Newcastle, Pardew or football in general. Would make like a lot less frustrating.
