Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team

[Gemmill 46031]

Ryder fucking clamped.

 

"... Er yeah shutyerface Lee. Any questions from everyone else?"

[Rayvin 5296]

Actually surprisingly honest in places. At least he didn't claim it affected the team. Nothing new or inspiring though.

[Isegrim 9903]

I thought the Telegraph was banned as well or was that just Luke Edwards personally?

[ewerk 31204]

They banned the whole paper. Though to be fair the club has banned so many publications it's hard for Wendy to keep up.

[Park Life 71]

Might as well give up the press stuff. Pardew comes across like Kurtz now.

Does that make Charnley Willard,

[OTF 7489]

"the defeat was as bad as a draw"

 

What?

[Howay 12496]

I noticed that as well, I'd rather have a draw Alan.

[TheGoslingBeast 0]

What dimension does he live in where defeat is better than a draw. Anyway, he haven't won a game in decades, none of the two is acceptable really.

Todays press conference will be like all the rest. Big game, taff team, fret, frust, me & Mike, trust me.

[trooper 940]

“We focused very much on the mental side of the game this week, responses on the pitch and how you respond to the media, because you (the media) won’t leave us alone at the moment.

 

“It is my job and duty to come up with solutions when things are not working, so whether we make changes – we will have to wait and see.

 

“Our fans want to see a brand of football that we can’t quite put together right now, we are trying to do it and have quality.”

 

Looks like it's our fault again.

[trooper 940]

“It is about digging in and fighting at the moment as a team, if we do that then something will fall our way.

 

“We’re trying to help the team, find a solution tp get the team playing to its quality, we’re very focused on Saturday.”

 

He also added this Fanks Al.

Alan Pardew describes his current situation at Newcastle as to being in a boxing ring with nowhere to hide

• Alan Pardew has admitted he is feeling the heat as he looks to get Newcastle back on track after a poor start
• The under-pressure Newcastle boss has praised his chairman for sticking by him during the tough times
• Pardew understands the fans frustrations about performances admitting the team are not functioning well enough
• Rock-bottom Newcastle travel to Swansea on Saturday as they seek their first league win of the season

Alan Pardew has likened his perilous position as Newcastle manager to being in a boxing ring with nowhere to hide.

The 53-year-old’s future has again been the subject of media speculation this week following Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Stoke, a result which leaves the Magpies joint bottom of the Premier League.

United travel to Swansea on Saturday with owner Mike Ashley sticking by the boss, and Pardew is grateful for his support.

‘I’m very fortunate to have an owner that can see we are fighting for the club,’ he said.

‘The fans are angry and want to see their team win. They don’t want to see us lose any more. We have a team that’s not quite functioning as we would like but there is nowhere to hide.

‘It’s like a boxing ring – there is nowhere to hide. People keep asking me are you going to come back? What are you going to do? Are you going to stay on the line?

‘Well I’m not going to hide and I don’t expect my players to hide. It’s about digging in at this point and we need to do it as a team. If we can show that, something will fall our way.’

Meanwhile, midfielder Cheick Tiote has denied being quoted as saying he wants to quit the club in January, and Pardew said: ‘When a player goes to their own country and that can be Africa, France, Holland, we always seem to get misquoted versions of events and this is one of those cases.

‘His last two performances have been world class for a team that that hasn’t been functioning as it should be. That says it all for me. He’s a terrific player, a big character and I look forward to seeing him on Saturday doing what he does – playing football.’

Tiote’s midfield comrade Jack Colback was left out of the England squad on Thursday, one month on from his first call-up.

Pardew said: ‘It’s disappointing, but not in terms of his form. He now knows that he needs to do a little more to get in that group. Of course he’s Premier League hardened already, even though he’s a young boy.’

“We’re trying to help the team, find a solution tp get the team playing to its quality, we’re very focused on Saturday.”

 

This reads like he's a fucking consultant, it's good of him to be trying to help this team. Cannot stand this bloke like.

[Monroe Transfer 0]

He's actually partly spot on there - he is very fortunate to have an owner who continues to stick with him, when he absolutely has not warranted sticking with.

[Howay 12496]

 

‘The fans are angry and want to see their team win. They don’t want to see us lose any more. We have a team that’s not quite functioning as we would like but there is nowhere to hide.

‘It’s like a boxing ring – there is nowhere to hide. People keep asking me are you going to come back? What are you going to do? Are you going to stay on the line?

‘Well I’m not going to hide and I don’t expect my players to hide. It’s about digging in at this point and we need to do it as a team. If we can show that, something will fall our way.’

 

 

This part in particular man, of course the fans want to see the team win ffs Alan. The ending is brilliant, "something will fall our way" sums up his management style, hope and fucking pray that Cabaye/Ben Arfa/ Ba/ Cisse/ whoever can conjure up something out of nothing to get through another game where the pesky fans keep expecting to win.

[Monroe Transfer 0]

I'd like to see what this team looks like when it's really not functioning, as opposed to "not quite functioning".

[ClubSpinDoctor 0]

Liverpool 0-6 at SJP was REALLY not functioning, the 3 and 4 nils are not quite functioning. The 1 and 2 nils are functioned well, we was great for long periods but fings went against us.

[Howay 12496]

A narrow loss is better than a draw according to his quote the other day, so who fucking knows what this absolute nobber is thinking.

[Monroe Transfer 0]

Hey - as long as we tried...

 

[Kitman 2207]

Pardew thinks thats its enough to fight and battle. As long as youre hanging in there battling away, then something will come your way (especially if you have "the quality"). FFS. Please get this man out of our club now.

He'll be gone. Nearly there.
