Belfast Boy Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The atmosphere at the Hull game (presuming we lose to Soton) will play a big part. I fully appreciate the feeling of those who have had enough and refuse to give Ashley any more money but another 90 mins like the Cardiff game could be enough to push him very very close to the door.

KaKa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 We will get humped so bad in the next few games man. Southampton, Hull, Stoke and Swansea. I cannot see us beating any of those teams. They will run riot. They have all had pretty good starts, and all added players that their managers actually know how to use. They all go forward with enough threat, and will not stay back against us. We will get destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomson Mouse Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Straw poll on the TF FB site asking people to say stay or go about Pardew had about 98% of answers being go. Looks like the tide has turned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can't see where we're getting a win from. We'll pick up the odd flukey win or draw but the clubs position feels incredibly perilous. And that seems knee jerk to see after 3 games but we all know the kind of manager Pardew is. It doesn't get better than what we've seen thus far.

KaKa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's coming to a head man, a perfect storm of sorts. He was extremely stupid to jettison two players on the last day of the window when he knew no one would be brought in. It's definitely created some negativity. We come out looking rubbish, and all hell will break loose. The next four games are teams we realistically should be able to compete with, but under Pardew we are not good enough to do so, and it's really going to wind fans up when they start knocking us about.

KaKa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I mean we couldn't beat Crystal Palace at home despite them practically gifting us the game. They also wasted chances, after finding it quite easy to carve us open. We still can't manage to get our striker in positions to even get attempts at goal, never mind score them. Our goal scorers so far are a member of another team, two defenders and an 18yr old kid coming up from the development team. None of the attacking players we have shelled out for have done a damn thing! The guy is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Southanpton will beat us handily IMO They just decked West ham at Upton Park, so yeah, shouldn't be much of a problem handling us at home. We really need these teams to come through for us these next few games, because the pressure is being ramped up now. We can't afford any fluke wins by this clown. To be honest though, I really can't see it happening anyway. That result against Palace was just a disgrace. Was so sure he'd bagged a jammy victory, and he still let it slip. He's garbage. All our goals we're so unconvincing too. Time to finish him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Koeman already playing better football than us with a massively weakened squad, ditto monk at Swansea. Laughable Swansea and Southampton are two clubs which have developed an ethos in terms of how they want to play over years, which has survived manager changes and lasts longer than any one manager or coach. Clubs like Newcastle or Villa don't have anything like the correct attitude in that department, mostly because they're run by people who understand money but don't get football. To paraphrase someone, they know the price of everything and the value of nothing. As a result of this, everything is short term. The upshot of this is that those clubs end up being good jobs for that seemingly endless roundabout of mediocre British managers who seem to become millionaires by going from one club to another with no discernible reason to keep getting jobs (Pardew, McLeish, Allardyce, Bruce etc etc).

KaKa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Swansea are run extraordinarily well. Exceptional standards over there. To think that Martinez, Rodgers and Laudrup all were there, and now Monk has just slotted in nicely is quite impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Even Leicester under Nigel Pearson looked pretty dangerous, and exciting going forward against Arsenal at the weekend (well, on MOTD at least).

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Superb from Simon Bird today. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastles-deadline-day-inactivity-shows-4156394 There have been moments observing Newcastle United when hope and anticipation filled St James' Park. When the pursuit of a dream - for that is surely what football clubs are here for - was the mission. When progress seemed possible, even probably, and silverware (now 45 years in the waiting) was on the agenda. For instance, I recall the moment Kevin Keegan signed as a player in the early 1980s to ignite a moribund club. Remember that joyous picture of his debut goal against QPR? Anything seemed achievable. There was Keegan's return as manager, saving the club from relegation then charging to the peak of Premier League. Those chest-tightening, breathless games when the title was in their grasp, and time seemed to move slower as the final whistles approached. There were FA Cup final near misses, and under Sir Bobby Robson a leap from midtable to the top four and the Champions' League. Perhaps the highlight, a trip to the San Siro in March 2003, and a thrilling 2-2 draw against Inter, a place in the quarter-finals within their grasp. Contrast those moments with what Newcastle fans have to look forward to now. The dreaming is over, and it only increases the admiration for the 50,000 who still turn up for home games. The dream now, for the cost-cutting, bank-balance-watching, profit-bagging, Sports-Direct-advertising-obsessed hierarchy, is to be top of their mini-league. Let the battle for eighth to 17th place commence. The cups are an unwanted diversion. Qualify for the Europa League, and those in charge from Mike Ashley to Alan Pardew, moan about the extra burden. The elite, who Newcastle successfully mixed it with a decade ago, have disappeared over the financial horizon. Newcastle have missed the boat, and any hope of glory days, even unfulfilled as they were, lost. To be fair this could be the story of many a club in the top flight. Aston Villa, West Ham, Southampton. So many clubs going through the motions, knowing the financial might of the few squeezes the life, and aspiration, out of the rest. Transfer deadline day was confirmation of Newcastle's unwillingness to try and compete. They need a goalscorer and a central defender. Early season performances suggest they are shaky at the back and lacking a threat.all Nine summer signings (two loaned back to Nottingham Forest) represented standing still, replacements for those exiting in the last eight months. Progress, and having a go, would have been signing Alexandre Lacazette, Wilfred Bony or some other powerful goal scoring line leader. Cash remains in the bank. But instead deadline day saw Hatem Ben Arfa and Mapou Yanga Mbiwa depart on loan. So from needing an extra attacker and a defender, Newcastle got rid of an attacker and defender, albeit both with questionable contributions to make. The simple calculation at the top will be that Newcastle have enough to survive this season in the Premier League. Beyond that, no one running the club really cares. Failing to land their top striker target means no hope of mixing it in the top seven or eight this season. It probably means Newcastle will be on the fringes of the relegation battle come March before pulling clear to end up upper bottom half of the division. Ninth will be hailed as an achievement. It certainly means Alan Pardew will remain a divisive figure on the terraces with a team turning in performances less than the sum of their parts. It possibly means that with the season ten games old, Pardew will be facing the sack unless there is an upturn in results. But if Ashley wants to replace Pardew with David Moyes, whose job he so admired at Everton, do you think he'll join a regime so content with mediocrity? People wonder why Newcastle fans go misty-eyed about Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson. Sentimental fools, eh? Well no. It is because they understood the dream, like those running Newcastle now don't. Even if those two great men never quite got to the final destination. "This club can never go anywhere under Mike Ashley, I promise you that," said Keegan when he departed as boss for the second time. We are still waiting for Keegan to be proved wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Leicester will turn us over if they play like that against us. Pretty penny to be made on NUFC losses in the coming months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
