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...

Complete charlatan as a manager and should be nowhere near Newcastle. Strange, I had you down as fan of his. You have to give him credit for the current run though don't you? 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.

Guest Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Two points off the Champions League and in the last 8 of a cup. What odds on that when Cisse was about to come on to the pitch against Hull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The PL is so shit this season man. Sheer fact we relegation spots a month ago and we go on this run of form and are 7th. Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we're Newcastle United - and therefore cursed to be shackled to Pardew for eternity - it probably should have been odds on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thought he got the team selection and shape spot-on. Cabella was a non-event and Ayoze apart from the goal struggled to get involved but it was the right approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He's been forced into playing some younger players, play Sissoko through the middle which has proved massive, we've come up against teams performing below par and we've taken our chances. Had Rivière been playing we'd still be bottom 3. We played very well against City and Lpool were awful, scoring first against Leicester andWest Brom turned those games. Spurs should have been home and hosed by half time. Having said that I think we can only expect to get better and Pardew has to take some credit. If however, we have the familiar drop off in performances it should only high light his short comings. In that scenario surely he'd have to go.
