Oh Dear.

Then the lady with the sweepie brush, cleaned it all away

 

Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis. You can't simply say, 'Today I will be brilliant.'

which means I haven't got the foggiest

 

1. Carr's scouts spot talented player who fits the requirement.
2. They tell Carr.
3. If Carr agrees he tells Pardew.
4. If Pardew agrees he tells the new Assistant Director of Football.
5. If the new Assistant Director of Football agrees he tells Kinnear.
6. If Kinnear agrees he speaks to the other club/player/player's agent.
7. Kinnear pisses off the other club/player/player's agent.
8. Deal falls through.
9. Pardew is left to explain that we couldn't quite get the player over the line.
10. Kinnear tells everyone how great he is.
11. Repeat steps 1 through to 10 numerous times.
12. Until Pardew is finally sacked on December 31st and Joe gets the job
13. Joe gets excited in his first full interview, clasps his chest and has to quit
14. Dennis Wise returns to a heros welcome

 

I've fixed that for you Obi. For some reason your points 12-14 didn't show up?

 

Wow. Just been looking for new comments and have seen absolute doozys about Gouffran now being "more central" and Pardew wanting to play 2 up top "more often than not". So abandonment of the 4-2-3-1 to crack on with the much more flexible/modern 4-4-2.

Basically, this means Pardew's entire tactical nous is based on playing players out of position and, I assume, finding a space for Jonas. Not being funny, but he doesn't need Joke Innear fcking around to get himself sacked - he's going to be done by November if he pi$$es around with 4-4-2. I mean, the only thing right with the squad is that we have Sissoko, Cabaye, Tiote, Anita and Bigi, so surely 3 in the middle is the right way to go. In 4-4-2, not only will we be playing players there who aren't used to it, but on the left we'll have fcking Jonas again, and on the right Benny. One's sh!t, and Benny isn't a traditional right winger.

Every single day the hope, the anticipation, is just sapped away a little more, bit by bit.

 

Pardew will be gone after the envitable embarrassment away against Sunderland next season. Then, fat bollocks will slot in with Harford as his number 2. Either that or some other disgusting bottom feeder will come in and be even more of a puppet. Probably some nae do well like Dave Bassett

 

Got to admit, I am staggered by the "2 up front" comment from Pardew, when we don't actually have more than one competent fcking striker. He's talking about "competition for those two places" - what does that mean? Shola and Cisse arguing about who's on the left and who's on the right?

It's fcking frightening. Sure, it's not fair to pick up on everything, but we're miles away from signing anyone and we just get the same soundbytes almost daily. Was it Sunday that Pardew claimed Kinnear "had some important meetings this week"? Was he just talking about the clinic again?

 

After the ****ness of last season all I wanted for the next was the promise that Shola would never, ever disgrace the shirt again and to think now he has a chance to still be playing just makes me want to vomit in disgust.

 

No I think it goes like this
Carr 'I saw this great young player today he's a striker and available on a knock down fee and probably we could get him on reasonable wages'
Then this happens Either Kinnear says 'Great lets get him' and Pardew says 'I don't want him' or Pardew says 'Great just what we need' and Kinnear says 'Not worth the money let's buy xxxxx instead'

 

This was all a misunderstanding Pardew said 'I'd like someone like Messi with his Killer passes at St James Park' by the time it got to Joke Kinnear Chinese whispers had changed it to 'I'd like Killa with his messy passes' and he tried to sign Neil Kilkenny but sorry to say he took so long to remember what the players name was the deal fell through really bad news that, for us that is not you.
