Also, not that individual matches mean shite all tbf - but I'm pretty sure Pardew never won at Arsenal

 

Tbf I don't think anyone has since Hughton? 

 

That's one thing we need to start sorting, the record at the big clubs. It's been rank for about 26 years. The record at Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool is pathetic.

As if Pardew has friends.


‘Newcastle friends’ :lol:

 

It’ll be that ex-goalkeeper Rob Elliott or whatever his name was. I’ve buried so much of the trauma that I can’t remember.

It’s garbage. Away from home in the League:

 

Citeh - last win 1-0, 2000 (Shearer, Tommy Wright in goal?)

Liverpool - last win 2-0, 1994 (Cole and Lee)

Arsenal - last win 1-0, 2009 (Carroll) Win before that 2001.

Chelsea - last win 2-0, 2012 (Cisse x2). Win before that was 1987.

Man Utd - last win 1-0, 2012 (Cabaye) Win before that was 1973.

Spurs - loads of wins at WHL and new WHL - they are the shit bags.


Some of these were talking 1 win in 30, 40 seasons.

Him now speaking good about us doesnt matter. I'll always despise this guy

 

Who on earth would now call him a decent manager for us? He was an abomination of a manager, and a huge part of the decline in our stature in the period he managed us. He went on awful runs and the quality of football was very poor, espescially considering the talent at his disposal.

 

There was a massive campaign to get him sacked. Remember sackpardew.com? He would never have left either, were it not for Crystal Palace bailing him out in late 2014.

 

Also remember, he had a ridiculous excuse for everything.

 

Not sure, but I think he even blamed the fans for celebrating too much after we conceded a late goal? Also, Science, Notting Hill Carnival, and thank god were not in Europe. The list goes on and on.

 

Fuck him and everyone who now call him a decent manager or that he was hard done by. Get fucked, fuckers

Refuse to believe that a single person saying Pardew was a good manager for us on Twitter actually enjoy football or follow it in a really serious fashion 

 

90% will be the ones who continued to go out of habit throughout the Pardew and Bruce days without any hassle.

Yep. Last season was promising, drawing at 3 and coming close at Liverpool. Really we need to be winning 1-2 of those away and drawing a couple if we're to stay top 4 contenders because we'll not go every season unbeaten in 26 against everyone 8th and below (still mind-blowing how good that was like)

Any former employee who speaks well of the club gets some adulation online, regardless of their contribution when they actually represented us (just look at Barton). 

 

The fucking thing with Pardew is that he'd get it anyway. He could come out and say all Geordies are arseholes; you'd still get mouthbreathers on Facebook crowing about finishing 5th.

"At least Pardew finished fifth" is the footballing version of "At least Hitler made the trains run on time".  The next season he ltierally said thank god we weren't in the UEFA cup.

Seeing the way he speaks now, it's very easy to fall into the trap of thinking that he wasn't that bad for us. But the simple fact is that, if Eddie Howe had those players in 2011/12 he'd have got that team into the top 4 in that season, and top 6 for any season after that.

I've softened a little on him, but only a little, purely on ok that season finishing 5th was a decent accomplishment albeit the squad was good. He was self absorbed, lazy and became just another apologist for the regime but I just don't think under Ashley we would ever get any better than that. I do think under Rafa for a precious final 6 months we were better than we ever were under Pardew but the league was harder and the players worse. I also remember that half way through that one good season I was fuming at Pardew, thought we'd never achieve anything and then things suddenly seemed to click and we went on a ridiculous run. 

 

Time passing just meant all the visceral annoyance is gone, but still loath the likes of Kinnear and Carver. (Not including Bruce cos recent enough anger hasn't subsided but he is surely the actual nadir)
