Interpolic Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Easy enough to discredit that article right from the start: It doesn't seem like too long ago that Newcastle were exciting Premier League fans, pushing for the top four with exciting young players guiding them to six consecutive wins. Even after their win streak was snapped, they managed a huge upset win over Chelsea before getting buzzsawed by Arsenal in their next match. It seemed that they had positioned themselves well to be a factor down the stretch. Then Alan Pardew left for Crystal Palace just before the new year, and many fans celebrated the departure of a manager that Newcastle had frequently struggled under. Since he left, though, everything has gone straight to hell. We were sitting 10th when Pardew left with 7 points from our last 7 matches. We're now 11th with 6 points from our last 7 matches, yeah went right to hell when Pardew left like The minute anyone implies we played anything but God-awful functional football I switch off, they clearly didn't watch us play and it's not worth arguing.

Yorkie Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Oh great a pardew fan. I can't be doing with anyone who doesn't consider him scum. In the past I've seriously disliked several people associated with the club, but there haven't been many who've spent years actively derailing my love for something I've previously held so dear. That's something even utterly dispicable cunts like Michael Owen can't claim to have done - in fact the likes of him only strengthened my passion. Pardew, though... I absolutely loathe the role he's had at the club for the last two-and-a-half years, and I think he's a smarmy, incompetent arsehole from a personal perspective too. I have no time for anyone who has time for him; in a Newcastle United context anyway; If Palace fans are happy with him, good luck to them, they won't go far.

themanupstairs Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Nah. Still hate him with every fibre of my being. He's an utter cunt who doesn't deserve the luxurious life he steals. I wish his football career the very worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of sight, out of mind??? Feel free to renew your hatred by recalling what a shite football manager he was, as opposed to focusing on the politics of his role at the club under Ashley. If the latter is causing you to doubt his complicity in systematically destroying the entity of the football club - just remember the stuff about refusing to play Ben Arfa or playing Cisse on the wing or losing to the Mackems four times in a row or this or that or this or that or this or that. He was terrible in the dugout before you even begin to question whether or not he was in cahoots with the club's mantra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relatively neutral regarding Pardew now- he's fucked off and is someone else's problem now. BUT, his shadow still lingers large over the club. Where do people think "you can't compete in the cups without risking relegation" originally came from? Especially given that it first reared it's head during 13/14, after a summer where Ashley pulled Pardew in to explain why the league form had been so shit and he had to find some way to cover his arse. Unfortunately the useless fuckers at the top not only believed him but took it word for word literally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially. But it's clear the policy has been long-running and pre-dates that season. Not necessarily. The defeat to Stevenage and first defeat to Brighton were down to incompetence on the side of the manager and to a certain extent players. We played the best available team at Brighton but got beat by a better team on the day, and were so determined to turn the Stevenage game around that Pardew (laughably) brought on Tiote to save the day when he had originally left him out to save him for the derby. Tbf we've always dithered and fucked about with the league cup team which has been one of my biggest frustrations with NUFC and in fairness that does pre-date Pardew and if we're honest it pre-dates Ashley too. But again though it's got worse and was never as bad as playing virtual reserve teams at Man City and in the quarter final (!!!) like this season.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Pardew was prepared to go along with the de-prioritisation of the cups but I don't see any reason to believe he was the originator of it. We've been shit in the cups for my entire lifetime, and certainly haven't cared as long as Ashley has been owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If it makes you feel better then cool. But it was obvious before the relegation battle season. In every season since relegation we've been comfortable or good in the league (except 1) by the time the FA Cup has started. We've never given it a proper go. Oh and the players weren't arsed for the Brighton game. Weren't arsed with the Blackburn game either until HBA saved the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
