They have already beaten a team 6-0 this season.. And still the owner sacked the manager.. Odd club

They are his first goals for Newcastle since he signed, TBF.

True, but he hasn't played at all this season (apart from short sub appearance last game) due to cruciate ligament injury and only played about 8 times total last season.

 

What odds on 4 PL managers being sacked tomorrow: Grant, Hodgson, Ancelotti & Houllier must all be slightly concerned at their future job prospects?

No don't, I have had a bet on Blackburn to go down at 13/2 - I need them to lose!!

Why would you put money on Liverpool to win away? Did you make a mistake on your betting slip?

Well, he had PL experience playing for us.

 

Everton away wasn't it?

 

I remember that, Phil! - Played with Blackstock....

 

I remember us having about 6 strikers injured that day!

yes, only odd clubs sack the manager after thrashing a league rival.................

 

It was quite lucky mind, and we now have the most on-form manager in the league.

 

Pardew had to go, it will only be a matter of time at Newcastle

Never will forgive the clown for in my eyes almost single handily losing us that play off semi.

 

Offside pretty much every time we tried to attack.

Own goal.

Didn't pass to Idiakez for a tap-in in extra time.

Then blazed his penalty embarrassingly wide.

 

Unbelievable how he has scored a prem hat-trick, then again it was only West Ham....

We beat a team 4-0 away and our manager was still sacked. Odd club?

no...we are sitting 2nd in our league.

also, dont know if you have noticed but everyone is beating brizzle, they are going down

 

my god..are we going to get the usual suspects (that somehow dont rate adkins) drooling for pardew every time newcastle win..?

 

if that is the case, it will only be fair that when they lose, balance is given.....im sure they will lose more than they will win

If none of that had happened we'd probably still have Mr Lowe at the helm....

 

Perhaps we should be thanking Leon Best rather than struggling to forgive him...?

Don´t be silly

Where is Adkins mentoned? your´e the first one to compare NA and AP in this thread Even you must be able to see its possible to rate both? AP is still well thought of by most saints fans regardless how NA is doing ( fantastically) . I know it will hurt you if AP does well, it will mean you won´t be able to say " i told you so"

where has "i told you so been mentioned".

you only read what you want to read..

 

 

you will no doubt say "I told you so IF anyone dares mentions pardew when he is doing badly"

He was playing against West Ham. Reading the match reports their defence seemed about as focused as an Aussie batsman.

 

Best scored 3 goals - well done to the lad. The reports also say that he was "completely unmarked" for all 3 of them.

 

So either he developed a superhuman talent to shrug off markers in the box or he had a good day at the office.

 

Likewise with AP. He's gone, good luck to him. Other managers have left/been fired don't see so many debates about Dave Jones, 'Arry and others.

 

AP is a PL manager. If he lasts longer than 18 months he will have done a good job up there. But he isn't going to win the title, and Cashlessly doesn't have the funds to take them into the CL. For AP in their first season back up, staying up and keeping hold of Carroll would be a success. Next year the muppet fans up there will be demanding his sacking beacuase they aren't challenging for 4th place.

 

And Best will be back on the bench having had his moment and being a Squad player, which is IMHO all he ever will be at that level

Idiotkez would probably have missed, one of our worst signings ever. No-one should have let Best take a pen under such pressure, at least he had the guts to step up when all of our experienced players bottled it. As usual we put all the effort into making Best into a good player and then let him go when he is finally coming good.

Yet people on here don't think he is good enough for us in Div 3!

 

It's a simple fact that some players fit in at other teams with the players, staff and fans. Some players won't do well at Saints, some do.

 

Look at Kevin Davies and his first spell with Saints and then his Blackburn spell?

 

Saints could sign the striker with the best goal-scoring record in the Prem, but is he doesn't settle and doesn't gel with the staff, he'd be sh*t.

 

I also think that maturity has a lot to do with it. Best wasn't brilliant at Saints and wanted out, whether that's because he hadn't settled, thought he was bigger than were Saints were in the league or a mixture of both, he wasn't right. Fair play to him for now scoring a hattrick in the Prem - but doesn't mean he'd settle and do it here. He may well do, but we're not going to find out, so it's a pointless argument. Ahem. Grump.

leon best will soon fall out of bed once his honeymoon perod is over. Defenders will soon be able to read his game. he is not a potent striker. Even skatchel has found his playing level again with hearts. Oh an another saints favoutrite Yoan Folly was doing okay with Aberdeen till he broke his leg last week. Hearts and berdeen are not exactly premiership let alone championship levels of teams

 

I was not impressed with best and just because he scored a hatrick lastnight does not change my mind one bit

I think you're missing the point calling Newcastle an odd club for doing just the same as saints is........... well odd. No one said Nigel isn't doing a good job, just that both saints and Newcastle sacked managers after good results. No doubt the Newcastle senior management thought they were doing the right thing just as saints did, for all we know Houghton could have been sacked for touching up Joey Barton in the showers after trainning.

 

More to the point this thread highlights just how many players (and managers) seem to go onto better things after leaving us. It's amazing how many ex players that fans said were s hit seem to be plying their trade higher up in the footballing world. Maybe that mean us fans really don't have a ****ing clue...........

On the other hand we might be in the PL right now. Now theres a question. I wonder if people would rather be in the PL today with lowe in charge or in league 1 with the current set up?

That is one of those "What if?" discussions which people love but don't actually get you anywhere. You can't change history! (I'm bidding for Most Obvious Statement of the Day Award ;) )
