Mattoon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I mean, I get where Tubes is coming from in some ways. If there was another Pards-esque manager then they would be another target as with the Bishop or Charnley. That would turn the stadium toxic (crying Pards ) increasing the pressure and media awareness. Respect for Rafa is muting that avenue of 'attack'. However, implying Rafa is staying for selfish reasons is probably off the mark and repeating it incessantly everywhere rather grating I disagree, having a patsy in charge would no doubt raise the anger in the stands and cause more vitriol, however it would be for the wrong reasons and detract from the real issue. We saw it with Pardew, everyone turned on the slimy lickspit and quite rightly but it was a distraction from Ashley. The consensus then was Pardew first, then Ashley, Pardew played his part perfectly keeping the heat off Ashley whilst numbing a fan base and destroying hope. This way, with a manager such as Rafa in charge, it makes the media listen. Why are the supporters up in arms when they have a manager of such esteem? Why is a manager of Rafa's stature being treated this way? It's not as hostile and vocal in the stands, no, but there's plenty more going on outside the stadium and people are waking up from a hopeless coma. Just because no one is screaming at everyone at the club, it doesn't mean things aren't changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yeah that is a good point actually, Pards did become the focal point and people coming out on behalf of Rafa is helping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Pards esque performance? Your clearly forgetting how spineless we were under him. It was a dull game but we displayed resilience and worked hard for the entire game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, didn't see it so I was a bit blagged. Nowhere near a Pards performance, he wouldn't have had us organised as well as that, we'd have let our hair down after a tough start and got mullered 4-0. Anyone comparing Rafa to Pardew deserves shot with shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Pardew's biggest problem was he had no conviction, he didn't really know what he was doing so his tactics would change after every defeat or stinging criticism. Absolute opposite of Rafa who just doesn't give a shit about other people's opinions how to play the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 He has us so tight like, wonder how many times we have conceded more than 2 goals under him in a league game? I can't think of many at all, Man City, Liverpool, manure away, Chelsea once I think? Norwich home in the pub league. Barely a handful in around 100 league games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
