Pardew is a big gob who has made himself look a proper ***** lately and Newcastle have done very little lately to suggest they are going to be a top team. They spend money too so not like they're skint.

24-09-14 Crystal Palace 2-3 Newcastle Utd. AET. Yeah, we lost. Against 10 men near the end. Bollocks! Palace put out an almost completely different side from saturday's little epic at Goodison and paid the price. We COULD have won(obviously) had we put out a few more first choice players -especially if we'd had Speroni instead of Hennessy in goal.....I thought he was meant to keep Speroni on his toes but on this showing the only effect will probably be the opposite, Premiership quality he isn't. Most interesting event of the night was the total dampening of the atmosphere in Selhurst Park when the announcement "The winners tonight will face Manchester City away" was made! Plenty of mixed emotions there. It made losing ALMOST bearable. Amazing how disliked/hated Alan Pardew is at Palace. He was 90% crap when he played for us and apart from scoring against Manure in the 1990 Final, never really made any positive impact on the Palace faithful. There's been plenty of rumour-mongering about him being Steve Parish's mate and a possible future manager at Palace. Thankfully he's managed(how?) to hang on to the hot seat at NUFC, so that rumour has amounted to nothing but there would be a riot if it looked liked happening in the future. How can anybody be that shite and keep his job? I would have loved to have seen us put a near full strength side out,thrashed the Toon (idiot me predicted 7-1)and cost him his job. But anyway, The League Cup? What's the point? A chance to see how the fringe players are coming on? Or a chance for those fringe players to show the weakness of your squad....Arsenal yesterday were exactly the same. I could maybe see the point if the PL sides only entered in later rounds. If you need to see how the fringe players are getting on, it'd be far better to have a couple of friendlies IMO. Much as I think the basic idea is flawed, the suggestion that we have a 'B' team league might also be a better option. Losing in a game like tonight's does absolutely nothing for a player's confidence and does very little for the supporters likewise. What do you Blues think? I didn't watch your game if I'm truthful so can't comment. Managers play players in cups often because they don't handle the squad properly. These are young lads who should be able to handle a few games of football and not need to sit out while the managers put on a sub-standard team. When we played Wolfsburg we were 3 nothing up early on in the second half, but we didn't make any changes until the 69th minute, and then 82 and 91 which is just ***** stupid. He then leaves players resting on Sunday and then rests them again on Tuesday so no wonder we get beat. |
