TheGoslingBeast 0 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Get behind Pardew when he's doing allright. We can slag him off when he's utter total shite, but we want this run to keep going so get behind. A question: who of the Premier League managers at this moment, would you rather have managing Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 298 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Lol Gosling, being fickle is a newcastle fan stereotype is it? Spend weeks using long term stats to illustrate his lack of ability, then all of a sudden forget that on 4 games and "back him". And we wonder why the media has us down as actors in a soap opera.

Howay 12496 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Aye, I'm not "getting behind Pardew", the bloke is completely unlikable and I want him to lose his job as I think he's poor at it. I am perfectly willing to give him praise when he has done well, like the game yesterday as he got his tactics right, but I still want rid of him. Like Scoobos just said it's fickle as fuck to just go ahh he's okay now we've won a few games, this run is a rarity among 2 years of utter shite. Like PaddockLad said in another thread it's took him 4 months to figure out another tactic for the side that works after his play A of everything going through De Jong (which was obviously intended to replace his everything goes through Cabaye tactic) broke down due to De Jongs injury, for a professional that's not good enough.

The Fish 10779 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 There needs to be a distinction between being delighted with unexpected results and supporting the side at the games, and stating the facts that Pardew is a poor manager whose career mustn't be evaluated over 4 games, but over years. If we're to give him our support because he's won four on the bounce, then demanding his removal after four losses in the run was justified too. If he was a manager in any other industry he'd have been fired long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Without underplaying a win against Liv which is never easy to come by, they have been shocking of late and we did play them without their chief mischief maker Sturridge. Sterling has lost a bit of form since the last Eng away days. The Man C away was a massive win mind...There is no question confidence is flowing through the side like crack in those first 10 seconds.

toonotl 2963 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Corner turned? I've got no problem with us playing counter attacking football. With Obertan in the side and sitting high up the pitch and Sammy on the other side we're perfectly setup to hit teams on the break. Nothing wrong with actually playing to our strengths for a change. I'd much rather see that than Willo aimlessly lumping the ball to Rivierre like we were seeing. It has to be said too. We look a lot better with Steven Taylor in the side. Not because he's a much better defender than Willo, but he is better, but because he doesn't just fucking hoof the ball up the field every time he gets it.

Howay 12496 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I just worry about how ineffective we are when we have the ball a while. We look canny on a quick counter, which has suited us against the bigger sides who are looking to pin us in our half and get as many forward, but it wont work against sides that are looking to nick it. We don't create much when we have had the ball a while and the opposition have had time to get a few behind the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10779 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 http://www.football365.com/faves/9541125/Football-Managers-On-TV-Alan-Pardew John Nicholson and Alan Tyers look at the Premier League's gaffers and how they come across on the telly. This week, it's The North East's Most Popular Man, Alan Pardew... PhilosophyChippy. Seems, out of nowhere, to have fostered a team spirit up in Newcastle, drawing on the tired-and-tested "Us Against the World" technique. In Pardew's case, the paranoia might be justified: people genuinely seem not to like him. Almost impossible to say what sort of football he likes his sides to play because he rarely seems to get into that side of things. What is the Pardew way? He doesn't tell us. Oozes an odd mixture of self-regard and persecution complex and appears to be permanently, if understandably, on the defensive. Interview styleCombative, needling. Even after Wednesday's win at Manchester City, contrived to turn post-match TV interview soft-balls like "This result must be a dream come true - and now away to Spurs in the next round?" into something to be railed against, cutting the interviewer down by saying: "If we win this competition we will do it the hard way [i.e. away fixtures] but I want to talk about tonight." In one deft sentence, thus went from having his tummy tickled to creating a sense of sneering affront, as well as implying that the draw had somehow been deliberately unkind to his side and making the viewer think "You know what? Bloody sod you then." That's quite an achievement for a man who had not five minutes previously been witnessing perhaps the best win of his managerial tenure. Worth also mentioning his goal celebrations, which often look like the sort of moves a man might make as a precursor to a street fight, involving air punches, fierce fist gripping and last night, a weird one fist salute, while the other seemed to grip his breast pocket wallet. Suit, tracksuit or otherExpensive suit, no tie, giving him the look of a randy divorcee, drenched in Joop aftershave, the imprint of a contraceptive in his wallet, visiting fleshpots patronised by people half his age. And those excessively sleek glasses. Good grief. Unforgiving television lighting often makes his skin look as though crafted from slightly melted wax. Can he talk the English?He can, in a wheedling South London tone and with recourse to some of the great swears of football's living memory. Addressing a respected senior colleague with "Why don't you shut your noise, you facking old cahnt?" is, despite what the handwringers say, a magnificent use of language and who amongst us wouldn't like to say the same in the workplace on occasion? The brilliant use of the word "noise" got missed by the detonation of the C-bomb and hints at an unrivalled vocabulary when it comes to being a sod towards people. Saying that a player had "absolutely raped" another player in the tackle was probably less effective but still absolutely quintessential Pards banter. Cliché counterIf four-letter words were clichés then would surely be a champ, as it is, language seems too unique and salty to be dulled by overuse. His post-match interviews and press conferences are often masterclasses in passive-aggressive expressionless staring, which hints at oceans of boiling fury below the surface while trying to maintain a professional sense of decorum. Proper football man?A Southerner in a Northern world, Pardew finds himself friendless in the North East and one never especially hears the London Football Mafia sticking up for him. Perhaps they feel that ee's done it to himself, going up there to live wiv them monkeys innit. Perhaps he just isn't a very popular person. Anyway, there is no notable chorus of approval for the "great job Pards is doing up there", nor did the regular punditocracy make attempt to defend him after his so-called headbutt. Big Quinny seemed supportive on Wednesday night: perhaps he has a shared understanding of what it's like being an outsider in the crazy world of North East football. In general, though, many a less successful Englishman gets much more backslapping from the boys in the studio for doing his business in far easier circumstances. Hard to see Pards enjoying the older PFM's traditional tipple of red wine; we imagine him more buying rounds of Flaming Sambuca for a passing hen-do, later to be seen vomiting alone in a drycleaner's doorway, a lip swollen after taking a glancing blow from a bouncer. Sacking ahoy?The only mystery is that it hasn't happened yet; although with his 95-year contract still having a way to run, perhaps it's just too expensive to get rid. Maybe Mike Ashley, ever the cruel Roman god, playing with the mere mortals, simply loves to employ a man that none of his paying punters actually like. Whatever, it feels like we are not getting the whole story of what's going on there. If Newcastle can keep winning games, we may get more episodes of the Alan 'Arsey' Pardew show yet, and for this column at least, that's all gravy.

That's the kind of situation where the likes of Cabella and Sissoko can hopefully start to make a difference. It's always going to be hard to break sides down that are determined to put 10 or 11 bodies behind the ball. Luckily most opposition managers have no reason to rate us so highly that that sort of approach is warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
