Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team

[aimaad22 3472]

Aye, good to see some common sense prevailing at last in football. Stability is what we've never seemed to have. Lets hope Pards can build on the strong spine to the team that we now have.

Keeping off the managerial merry go round is no bad thing in the longer term.

 

 

You should try N-O good number there STILL want him binned or at least shifted in the summer.

 

Personally I think if there's somebody out there in the summer better than him then we should look to say goodbye.

[Ayatollah Hermione 12767]

Aye but that goes for literally everybody at the club

[Gejon 2]

Hope he has the good grace to decline the nomination or accept it on behalf of Graham Carr.

I'm not sure about his "We're safe" statement. I think we probably are but even though we've improved drastically away from home since the signings (and lost two games despite that) the 5 away games don't look that easy and we could still easily lose 3 or even 4 of them.

 

Of the home games I'm very wary of Liverpool and Arsenal and even though they're shite, you never count on a derby which leaves one "winnable" game left.

 

As I said probably safe but paranoia suggests two wins (As I think only Reading look doomed atm) are needed which aren't that obvious.

Form table would suggest we'll win at least two of the last 9:

 

 

1 Manchester United 6 5 1 0 +10 16

2 Arsenal 6 4 1 1 +6 13

3 Tottenham Hotspur 6 4 1 11 +3 13

4 Newcastle United 6 4 0 2 +3 12

5 Liverpool 6 3 2 1 +8 11

6 Manchester City 6 3 2 1 +3 11

7 Chelsea 6 3 1 2 +2 10

8 West Bromwich Albion 6 3 0 3 +1 9

9 Everton 6 2 2 2 0 8

10 Fulham 6 2 2 2 0 8

11 Queens Park Rangers 6 2 2 2 -2 8

12 Aston Villa 6 2 1 3 -1 7

13 Swansea City 6 2 1 3 -3 7

14 Norwich City 6 1 4 1 -3 7

15 West Ham United 6 2 0 4 -6 6

16 Southampton 6 1 2 3 -2 5

17 Wigan Athletic 6 1 2 3 -5 5

I think you're being pessimistic. I'd fancy us to Fulham and the mackems. I'd fancy us to get a point (at the very least) against West Ham, West Brom and QPR and we're entirely capable of getting something from the Liverpool game too. The only games I'd write off are the Arsenal and Man City games.

Also have to remember the bottom 4 all have 3-4 games against each other to come so they can't all go on a run.

9 wins in their last 43 games under O'negative (that includes MK Dons and Morecambe)

This is my favourite reply to one of my posts ever.

[Asprilla 96]

Yep. Yesterday was a big game.

 

We're still in the Europa League and have climbed out of trouble. I really don't think we'll get sucked back down into the bottom 3.

 

The lack of energy that was dragging us down seems to have been fixed by a very impressive transfer window. I hope Ashley learns the need to keep things fresh and moving forward with the squad.

 

The panic that set in with certain people wanting Pardew out does show how important it is to have calm heads in football.

I'd like to see two more centre backs brought in to replace Colo and Williamson. Plus another centre forward, come next summer.

[ChezGiven 0]

Pardew is priming Ben Arfa to return hungry and in form so I share his optimism after yesterday. We've got a fairly settled first 11 who are getting used to playing with each other, a world class talent to come back into the side and only City who we should write off getting points against.

[Happy Face 29]

27 points to play for, win em all and we're 5 points short of last season, keep up current form (12 points from 6 games) and we 'll pass 50 points.

Not sure about this beard mind.

Oh, I don't know.....

This will be remembered as his Rocky IV phase.

More of a Chuck Norris beard i think

Lot of wisdom in a good beard they say, well he definitely needs a beard to outwit Hiddink.

[Aeris 0]

Upped a few skill-levels today as manager. Good decisions and more balls to his approach. The beard is doing him good

Funny how you've changed your tune.

Funny how people get criticized both for changing their view or sticking to same old. I'm saying he has progressed, credits for that.
