timeEd32 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 They still have six very winnable games against Huddersfield, Watford, Bournemouth, Burnley, Swansea, Palace. They'll need to win most of those, but we've seen Swansea put a few wins together when they were looking hopeless. 9 points from those would be a good return based on this season and they'd still likely be fucked. Happy for the them to beat Huddersfield, Swansea, and Palace though if they lose the other three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 They need to win at least 4 in the next 6 to just catch up with the teams above them, assuming the teams above each win a game or so. Their last 5 games are horrendous, they'll need to win at least 6 from the last 11 to stay up, that aint happening imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I love the hive-mind thing that seems to happen at a seemingly innocuous point of the season when twitter and the media suddenly start realising he's shit. They got beat off Chelsea, hardly news given they've been shit since he's come in but somehow this is their moment. I can remember ours finally being when that stat about wins in the calendar year was floated around, then suddenly the press realised he was as shit as the fans had been saying.

It ain't happening here, they are done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Getting tetchy there. Didn't he kick off with an interviewer whilst at Palace once? Probably. He might stick the nut on someone again soon. He's such a terrible abuser of the English language. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedyan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Turned out a mate of mine was at the match yesterday, managed to get a ticket while on a business trip. Not a keen follower of English football, mind, but he still texted a question why West Brom were so sh!t. Pardew, the master of the positive first impression But then again, top teams might have a chance, when you insist on playing progressive, entertaining, attacking, front-foot football. Almost unfair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The only manager in history to have a string of bad results end with the Chairman and Chief Executive sacked rather than him? - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/13/west-brom-sack-chairman-chief-executive-john-williams-martin-goodman Will think he's bulletproof now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I hope he doesn't get sacked. "He never had a chance to implement his brand of football. It takes time to go from Pulis to Pardew's tiki taka." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbemba Youre A Womble Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Playing West Brom will be no fun at all if he isn't there to take part. Pardew is the best were getting for a rivalry for the foreseeable future. If he does get sacked he should just start a nation wide tour, popping up at clubs here and there, guest stints all over the place. Initiate that famous Pardew lift, before leaving for the next before things go royally terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Torn between wanting him sacked and wanting West Brom to get relegated ASAP. Three more games should see them gone, then Pardew sacked, then they can start picking up points from other relegation sides. Surely Pardew must know the game is up, if the man who hired him has been sacked... for hiring him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, while they should quite clearly be sacking him and now is the right time to do it, hopefully he can spin some of his legendary patter and convince them he can turn it around. I'd then like them to keep him on next season as he's a promotion expert, him fuck it up and the fans turn nasty. I want him hated again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Pardew doesn't mind criticism of Pardew provided that Pardew himself is the one dishing it out and therefore makes Pardew look like a humble chap who protects his players by throwing himself in front of the bus. I'd be truly flabbergasted if Pardew actually ever believed that he had made any sort of mistakes. If its not the opposition having that "x facta", or the fans getting too "enfusiastic". Its the pitch, the injuries, the luck, the transfer budget, the spies looking over the fence, the blade of grass which was missed by the groundsman but never Alan Pardew.

Some players just aren't open to front-foot tactics. You think Jonny Evans is happy with attacking blitzes leaving him isolated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Don’t forget he’s also the sports physcologist too mind, he’s the one that makes them tick and can turn their mentality around. He’s fucking phenomenal Pardew like. Helped to split the atom too apparently, doesn’t mention it much as he’s too modest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albion flew out to Barcelona for a mid-winter training camp on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the 3-0 defeat at Chelsea which leaves them seven points adrift of safety. It is claimed that many players are unhappy with the trip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
