Because they are limited, just like him. He can teach a monkey to eat a banana, but not to fire up a typewriter and write shakespeare.

From todays chronicle: And to those who don’t agree with the hardcore fans backing Pardew, then you have to wonder what would be the alternative? Mark Hughes? Alan Curbishley? Joe Kinnear? Big Ron? Nice namedropping there lee

Give over stevie

So you are happy with how we play when both cabaye and tiote are playing? Sitting in front of williamson and colo and hoofing it up? Thats kind of my point. The injuries arent affecting our playing style as much as you make out. Its fairly similar to what we are cooking up now tbf.

Yep.

There are at least 7 players in our starting XI that has been repeatedly linked with the likes of Chelsea, Man U, City and/or Arsenal - which suggests otherwise Stevie.

Be that as it may, its our current squad and the one Pardew has the task of getting the most out of. You cant compare that squad to the squads of managers like Lambert and Martinez. They are shovelling pig shit in comparison. We may disagree on alot of things but I think we can agree that the names of those players with their values attached to them makes up a hell of a good team - on paper.

Or the value of the squads. Ours, on top of my head: Ba - 15 million striker Cisse - 15 million striker Ben arfa - 20 million winger Cabaye - 15 million CM Tiote - 15 million DM Anita - 8 million utility DM/fullback Colo - 7-8 million defender Santon - 6-7 million fullback Krul - 15 million keeper

Its the default reply whenever you compare him to promising managers working with 11 goslings. We got fucking good players here and Ashley deserves credit for backing Carr identifying them. That last phrase will go down well I suspect

Hitler did plow insane amounts into the national industry without financial backing, you are right about that. You have to keep in mind however that he was backing on winning the war, which he obviously failed to do. So its no surprise that it went tits up.

I agree, but if you are to use that premise then we are stuck with pardew for the next thousand years even if we move down to the conference league. Lesser clubs than us manage to hire decent managers, its a fair point to make.

Stevie, can we let the manager of the season award rest please, its a new season and laurels being used over and over again eventually turn shit brown. I like Pardew on a personal level, he seems like a agreeable person and I`d love nothing more than him having us play good fotball. What differs Lambert and Martinez from Pardew is that they are not afraid of coaching proper on-the-ground stuff. As for Martinez he is not tearing up the league no, but what is, is offering the occational champagne fotball on a beer budget. I`d love to see what he would get out of Ben Arfa and Cabaye, not to mention our senegalese best pals.

What really baffles me is the fact that we have sat watching game after game after game - everyone moaning about how gash it is and that its unbelieveable how poorly we perform. Match over, feet firmly sat on the table and laptop goes up - Pardew is the right man, we would be mental to sack him. Im not gonna pass judgement because you are clearly all fans, as am I, but fuck me if the belief in who we are able to attract is so non-existent as to rejecting the notion that there is someone out there who would do a better job than our current manager. 15 minute phone-around would likely have 2-3 decent managers lining up to lead one of the biggest clubs in the country.

Spot on. When the premise is that we cant attract anyone and those we can Ashley/dekka will scare away - thats a very narrow entry for a sensible discussion. I think many good managers would love to come here, but whether we will see any of them is another matter.

It was a joke post, I know the history. Thanks for the fifth grade lecture though. Parky got it, you didnt.

She wasnt shot, she died in the explosion at the department that was bombed. One of 7 I think. Yeah I had met breivik at the shooting club the year before, always struck me as a nice guy.

Yes. They play better fotball than us, with worse players.

Alright, I see your point Gemill. Think my point is well recieved by now anyway, just grates on my nutz seeing the same old "europe/injuries/Ashley" excuses rolled out ever again every time we put on yet another Dachau-performance. I`ll pipe down a bit, roll on Wigan.

I just call it as I see it. Decent team, shit manager. Players got us fifth last year but this year they are fed up with the hoofing and cant be bothered anymore. I suspect a few of you secretly agree but dare not say it in fear of being called knee-jerk. Me? I dont do knee-jerk. Never rated him. Get him out of yurr.

Anyone in the PL. Pardew for me is at the bottom of the pile, so theres 19 options in the smelling salt shaker Im waving under your nose.

For pointing out the truth? Im perfectly happy with the squad really, even with gobshites like williamson and simpson occupying the back four. A front two of Ba and Cisse, Ben arfa cabaye tiote marveaux, colo santon krul etc. Ok we have one or two poor positions but what team havent. Give me interesting fotball and I will take losses on the chin, no biggie. Defend deep and hoof it long though? Even Stoke play more beautifully than us atm.

All this transfer talk is chipping away at the wrong boulder though, what we need to look at is performances. Whatever else we can blame ashley for, the turgid hoofball we cant. We have a better squad than 70% in the Premier league, even with a thin bench. All this talk about the january window and buying ourself out of this mess, sounds strangely familiar to the circus a few years back What about moulding what we have and try to play well with the quality players already here?

If he cant handle europe with a squad he was more than happy with two months ago and didnt bring in a centreback because " he didnt want to upset the good team morale by introducing new faces" - then he will just have to deal with what he decided he was perfectly happy with. When we fired Hughton Pardew labelled himself as someone who would go banging on the door to the chairman to get the people he wanted. Maybe Mike moved office and didnt tell him..

Once we concede its game over. We havent come back from 0-1 in two years. Never going to happen under pardew.
