mrmojorisin75 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I still have no idea where this spirit and effort has come from. Why are they suddenly playing for him? Could easily have lied down against Hull or Swansea, and losing to Spurs and Man City is nothing to be ashamed of. Yet they're battling for this cunt and I don't know why. i think they were all sleeping, not giving a fuck, including pardew, thinking they could coast to 10th no bother and get their bonus...probably half-arsing it in training etc. while the HBA/MYM circus rumbled along the campaign against him and resultant media attention woke everyone up, probably not least pardew, who'll have known he was gone if he didn't turn it around furthermore when he's picking his favourites when and where he wants them it's not like they're doing that much - it's aarons, perez, (back from being broken) cisse etc. who have dug him out not his favourite gouffran's, colback's and dummett's but now the confidence is up it'll spread obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Was having a 'chat' with someone on FB last night, who was questioning whether I gave Pardew any credit for the last two wins. I said no, as the players were being given a lot of stick (by some media and fans) for the losing/winless run, yet Pardew was given sympathy. So now they won a few games, I'd give the credit to the players. Last night, he basically set the team up for damage limitation, with 5 across the middle, and leaving 'key' players on the bench in favour of the weekends league match. By pure crazy luck, some younger players stepping up, and Man City not playing to their potential, we actually won, but Pardew will be claiming to be a tactical genius. I'll wait to see how long this little run lasts, and whether its a flash in the pan. Alternatively, the protests/pressure on the manager may have simply bred a siege mentality, thats brought the squad together, and is starting to produce results. thus... keep it going!!!

Could easily have lied down against Hull or Swansea, and losing to Spurs and Man City is nothing to be ashamed of. Yet they're battling for this c*** and I don't know why. I'm sure I've read somewhere that he is a 'players' manager? Fuck knows where and I'm unsure why any player would like him. Save for the mediocre cloggers that he selects in his team no matter what. They surely must see that he is clueless and very limited? I mean, when we were doing the Williamson free kick routine last night. I did wonder what the players must be thinking when we try shit like this week in week out. Throw in the fact he's an egotistical tosser, I'm not sure why anyone would play so hard for him? It's quite ironic that Cisse and Obertan have been big factors in saving his career here after the way he treated them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I can understand how the majority of footballers could like Pardew, they are quite simplistic in how they see the game too. Most footballers probably don't have many tactical ideas or anything like that. Danny Murphy still maintains Pardew is one of the best coaches he's ever worked for. Good example of what I mean.

mozy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 They like Pardew because he gives them an easy ride and makes excuses on behalf of bad displays. 'Come on lads, 12th place is fine. If you get stuffed 4-0 i'll play excuse bingo again.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 It's mostly the shit players who like him IMO. The ones who are happy to play for a mid-table premier club with no ambition. I wouldn't go off last night either, that was just a bunch of kids whooping it up at the chance to play a full match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 "We've got a good young group, I've been saying that for a while now" - Hmmmm. Really. "Armstrong was really great in that lone role, it's his best position ... he didn't get much of the ball, but he worked really hard" - What you want from your striker really. Don't bother touching the ball. Just work hard. "Dummett is a player that will end up at centre back. This is a player that has a great future, going forward" - But he's not 6 ft 4 Alan.

TK-421 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Totalsport tonight was a total Pardew W***fest. In one breathe, Anderson is asking all caller... "You must have feared the worst when you saw the team he picked" .... then following it up with "Pardew never gets any credit for getting things right, like last nights team and tactics". The team he picked last night was not picked with a result in mind. It was a safety measure, resting certain/more important players for the weekend. He must have creamed himself with the way the game played out, and the result. But everyone now trying to proclaim him as some sort of tactical genius, while again missing/ignoring the blatently obvious... last night was just one of those freak results that happens, nothing to do with him. In fact, he tried to hinder the teams progress. Like I said last night, I'll credit the players, but not the fraud of a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obvious the minute the team sheet was made public he was trying to throw the game, what he didn't know is that the kids were going to play out of their skins to prove a point. Hindsight says he was just being a genius obviously, like the time he played a blinder with HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Getting irritated with all the media saying the fans were wrong and we should apologise to Pardew. We have had two fortunate results against Swansea and Spurs and a deserved win with a team that everyone (and I expect Pardew as well) thought would be well beaten. It is too soon to say we have turned a corner - we may have - but you need a good few games before that conclusion can be reached. I want to see the first team starting to play with some flair and intelligence. We had a glimpse of that in the second half against Spurs but that is all. At the very least the Sack Pardew campaign has shaken Pardew out of his comfort zone so if this run continues, then they should be applauded for that rather than criticised. The 8 year contracts were made on the basis of stability but they also breed complacency especially if the manager thinks he is untouchable. I think he genuinely thought he might get sacked and that was due to the protests. I still want him gone but if he is going to stay then he should not be allowed to get too comfortable in his job.
