#286428 2015/16 Barclays Premier League Thread

By standing offside...... It was awful play, he should of cost his side the chance of a goal.
You're complaining about Demichellis not being sent off, surely because he wasn't it was therefore great defensive play?

I also haven't really played FIFA in a couple of years, so would like to get used to it again, before playing a bunch of thundercunts.

Also £8m it's sometimes shit how small time British politics is, can't even buy a good full back for that money.

The AI seems stupid, the passing is awful, yet to find out about the shooting, as Hellas Verona made incoherent yet successful passes.

Erm, did we ever have this? Apparently brought in under Cameron.
I remember paying for mine under Blair and Brown.

It's well established if you kick/slap out no matter how pathetically it's a red.

So yeah, Pardew achieved more top finishes than Newcastle did over a twenty year period.
And aye Pardew will get fund out the first 9 months are notoriously easy, just ask McClaren.

We're not that bad ffs.
Basically what we don't have. In Pardew's last full season, we went out the cups early but spent most of the season in the top 8, before a late collapse. People became obsessed with the cups, and how Newcastle were killing football, and how football should be about trophies and not cash etc. It ignored that Newcastle were knocked out the cups by two PL sides, Man City (the eventual winners) who we took to extra time in the League Cup. And Cardiff in the FA Cup, we were shite that day, but Pardew went to win, no doubt about it.
Where as the season we finished 16th, the very enjoyable run to the QF of the Europa gets completely whitewashed from history. As does the run to the QF of the Carling Cup last year. Because cup runs are shite when you're getting beat every week.
Ultimately the reason Pardew was so hated. Was merely he stuck around. Allardyce, Hughton, Souness, Roeder, Robson, Keegan, Gullit and Dalglish all went pretty much as soon as things have went wrong. I think Pardew is the only manager who I've ever seen allowed to steady the ship after a bad run.
A large number of fans just started blindly slating him, insisting his football was defensive or hoofball regardless of what was happening, always lucky when he won, always at fault for defeat. Insisting he doesn't have the balls to drop players, or that he's got favourites for when the 'star' players do get dropped.

Because basically 3.5 seasons is a better indicator than 1. A 75% success ratio is better than 0%
And Pardew at least had the mitigating factors of Cisse off form, Ba leaving, Cabaye going in a sulk, Taylor breaking himself, HBA missing most of the season. Most of which was out of his control.
Why was he lucky? Over the course of the season Newcastle were the tenth best side, no luck whatsoever.

Pards is more tactically astute than Jesus, got Palace there in half a season.
He finished top ten in every season as Newcastle manager, aside from that one where all of our players simultaneously went off form/got injured.
Apparently since Pardew left, Newcastle have acquired 15 points, Alan has achieved 40 points.
#285341 2015/16 Barclays Premier League Thread

No I said we should be in the top half. Which we would be easily if we would allow someone like Alan Pardew to run the club.
Unfortunately we are stuck with Carr and Charnley. Who have absolutely ruined the club and will continue to do so.
#284524 2015/16 Barclays Premier League Thread

Reckon it's just a problem of our midfield just looking weird, totally unorganised and spread out, without any sort of organisation or strategy.
Would be tempted to put Mbemba in at DM, Colback & Wijnaldum at CM. Try something different.
#284520 2015/16 Barclays Premier League Thread

Starts every game in 4-2-3-1. Newcastle are then overrun in the first twenty. West Ham have no width on the right and a CB at full back. It's not hard, keep Wijnaldum, Anita and Colback tight, and push a winger right up against Tomkins.
The two goals were awful and self inflicted. Darryl Janmaat being shite followed by Mbemba taking a chance rather than clearing his lines. Followed by a stupid, stupid counter attack goal.
Also fucking love reading tweets about how it's everyone else's fault that the new signing is shit. Every fucking season, get a grip.

Also fair fucks to Janmaat he may he hopeless but at least he ran around a bit.

Can't believe getting rid of WIlliamson hasn't magically fixed everything.

Very little of Henry miscontrolling it past one defender there.

Bundesliga is just as quick as PL. But there is loads more space. Counter attacking 3 vs 3's and such are a lot more common.
I was amazed Brendan paid £28m for him. Must have a really good youtube video.

They look a bit of the international equivalent of Spurs. From a distance they look good, but when you state at them up close you wonder where the good players are.

Is it a shock that team is getting beat?

And that presumably means Newcastle replaced Cabaye with Sissoko, and Ba with Cisse?

If you're nervous then you're either a football God with 20/20 foresight, Or are an extremely nervous person. Who quite frankly would be inconsolable after the start Newcastle have made this year. Newcastle were closer to Spurs in fifth than Hull in 18th.
Newcastle were level on points with a Swansea side who had just sold their best player. They must have been dead certs then.
