I have maintained for months that @@nufcfans is working for the club, and I'm not claiming to be Bergerac or anything but this tweet confirms it.

Can't see Pardew adopting this strategy somehow.

Sensitivity has always been my strong point. Anyway here's a few canny accounts for yous to follow. @boringmilner - love this one, I hear Milner's voice when he tweets @WelshQuotations - Trainspotting fans @PayasodeMierda - Gene Clark off here, always good value

Will have to be my early 50's some psychic told me my times up at 57. 22 years for the toon to win a trophy. Too snobby to drive a taxi tbh.

If you think about it, those differences are not big over a 12 year period.

He said it on Sky after the game, and AVB told him to pipe down five minutes later.

I'll be blogging this later. It's been a good week for Newcastle, a brilliant week, and I suppose Pardew deserves some praise irrespective of how lucky we were second half against Tottenham. Even a draw would've been a canny result. I wish he'd shut up about the effect Europe has on players though. Lets have a look at the MASSIVE IMPACT Europe has had on other teams Stoke City 10/11 (without European football) 46 points 11/12 (with European football) 45 points 12/13 (without European football) 41 points. They did better when they weren't even in Europe. Aston Villa 08/09 (without European football) 6th 09/10 (with European football) 6th 10/11 (with European football) 9th 11/12 (without European football) 16th Their 2011/2012 season they finished 26 point worse off without European football than when they were in it. Fulham 08/09 (without European football) 53 points 09/10 (with European football) 46 points 10/11 (without European football) 49 points 11/12 (with European football) 52 points 12/13 (without European football) 43 points Actually NINE points worse off when they weren't in Europe than when they were Everton 06/07 (without European football) 58 points 07/08 (with European football) 65 points 08/09 (with European football) 63 points 09/10 (without European football) 61 points Everton actually generated LESS points in the two seasons they were out of Europe, than the two seasons they were in it. As Villas-Boas said, it's a load of bollocks and a shit excuse. Squads should be big enough to deal with it, the fact Tottenham were better in the second half only emphasise his point. It's a lazy excuse. You just need to look at 02/03 for us. http://nufc.com/html/2002-03fixtures.html 16 league games after Midweek European fixtures P16 W14 D2 L0. If you look at the link I provided. We played the mackems 56 hours after playing in Kiev, and won. Played WBA four days after being in Italy and won and so on. I couldn't agree more with Villas Boas, and the point becomes even more solid when you think in our case last season and certainly Tottenham's case, in many of these games we were starting with 7 and 8 players who weren't starting league games. Pardew should have a first class honours degree in excuses, and be doing lectures about them at Oxford University. Did Sir Bobby Robson moan? The thing is about the Champions League as well is you are more inclined to play your best side. How many times did we play our strongest eleven, especially in the early rounds? Some of the games there was no more than four first teamers last season. We started last season (like we have this season) basically signing nobody, and there's no way in the world he was happy with the situation. The only reason that fat bastard gave him money in the January is because it's easier to spend £22m on players than lose £70m with the threat of relegation. I've got no respect for Pardew, none at all. Fair enough it's nigh on impossible for him to say "yeah I'll be honest, Mike is a fat faakin caant", but "that ones for Mike", fuck off man. I'll never ever respect him, he should fuck off and take Max Clifford's job. The Europa League is a massive excuse. He thinks ahead Pardew he really does. If we come 5th, 6th or 7th this season, "it's great to av this magnificent claab and these suppowtuss who I regard as the best in the wewwd, back where they belong plyyin European footboww". On the other hand if we come 8th, 9th, 10th etc..."weww in saam wise its a massive relief, we aww saw what that Europah League dahn to us the avva season". Don't ever be fooled be him, he has excuses ready made for situations that haven't even happened yet, not even talking about the potential of European football.
-
If you've got time could you do the points difference and make it before, during and after.
-
Well exactly, that's just a continuation of my point. Well put.
-
Aye and there's no way in the world he was happy with the situation. The only reason that fat bastard gave him money in the January is because it's easier to spend £22m on players than lose £70m with the threat of relegation.

Newcastle 2012/2013 Stoke 2011/2012 Aston Villa 2010/2011 Aston Villa 2009/2010 Fulham 2009/2010 Portsmouth 2008/2009 Everton 2008/2009 Everton 2007/2008 Bolton 2007/2008 Of these clubs who don't often get in to Europe, look at all of them. (I'm sure people will accept the reasons for Portsmouth's decline btw). Apart from Newcastle look at their Premier League seasons prior to Europe, their seasons in Europe, and their seasons after Europe. The differences are not even worth talking about. This has all been accentuated because we were so shit in the league last season. It's an excuse Pardew needs, if there's a hint of a one that he can find on any given day he will find it. We had injuries last season yes, but we've had seasons where we've not been in Europe where the crises have been even worse.
-
Well you said they were second in the injury table, I didn't get what the relevance of them being second was.
-
We had a worse injury crisis in 2000/2001 with no Europe, to the extent Kevin Gallacher was our main striker in many games, a 35 year old has been. He even played Stephen Glass up front one game. Wigan weren't in Europe last season, so I don't know how it could've effected them mind.
-
AVB lost the dressing room for lots of reasons, his ability as a manager wasn't one of them. The thing with Chelsea you had so many ego's there, and still do. If you think back to when Mourinho was sacked the only one who got any vague respect was Ancelotti and even he got sacked. The likes of John Terry and Lampard are too arrogant to listen to a miserable bloke the same age as them who has never played football, going in to Tottenham, he's got a younger squad many of whom he has signed himself. I don't care about the standard of the Portuguese league, but to go a whole season dropping eight points is almost unparalleled and irrespective of what anyone says he's continued to do a great job at Tottenham, any manager who's side concedes only 6 goals in 10 Premier League games, has no problems tactically.
-
Many times in the Champions League we'd play on a Wednesday and then even on a Saturday morning. It wasn't always a Tuesday and Sunday carry on. We had it in 2003/2004 too games on Thursday then games on a Sunday and we only lost 8 all season which is one of the fewest sets of defeats we've ever had in a top flight season. As I said how many of the Tottenham players who are starting their Europa League games are starting Premier League games? Defoe starts every single one, I'm not even sure if he's started a Premier League game this season. As for Swansea they finished last season with five more points than we did in SIXTEENTH. This season they sit in 13th, which is about right for them, like wise Stoke 10/11 (without European football) 46 points, 11/12 (with European football) 45 points, 12/13 (without European football) 41 points. Negligiable differences.
-
That's again a very good point, and you could use SBR (0203) in the same way as you're using AVB. Pardew as a psychologist and tactical manager is no where near either of them
-
Why is that evidence anymore relavent than the 16 games the toon played after CL games in 2002/2003 in which we won 14 of them? In the Europa League too, teams are FAR more likely to play fringe players than they are in the Champions League too.
