He will counteract it with pointless childish remarks. he was asked a fair question earlier ''did you think we'd get promotion at the start of the season?'' - he didn't answer it afaik simply because it would ruin his agenda and make his current posts look very silly indeed. there was a quote a few weeks ago, alps said he'd accept 16th - 17th place.

It would be pointless running a league because no team is going to play another team under exactly the same conditions are they. What it does is remove the subjectivity (that is all to ripe on here). I am not saying that Pardew is a better manager than TB or LM. What I am saying is that both Pardew (and Burley) get dog's abuse on here yet they both have excellent records when it comes to winning football matches for us. It you want to dig further you could say that LMs record should have been better as he had the likes of Ball, Channon, Osgood and MacDougall to call on when in the old Div 2, but that is for another arguement. People will use stats when it suits their agenda and ignore them when they don't. We can spend all day talking about the merits of Pardew as a manager for us, but what no one can take away is his record for is so far, which is far superior to any manager we have had to date (well, certainly since the 50's anyway). I think most managers in the game would be delighted to chalk up 1.9 points per game. Shame that we have an element of the fanbase that thinks that is deserving of a sacking.

So it is a "crime" that Chelsea have still not won the Champions league? That Man City are not going to win the Premiership this year? That Ipswich spent £8m this season and don't have a cat in hell's chamce of going up? Where does it say that spending money guarantees you success )other than in the parallel dimension of Alpineworld)? Everything is relative. When managers managed in the premiership they had better quality players. We have Div 1 and some CCC quality players. WE went down with a squad that contained the likes of Crouch and Phillips, many of whom are still plying their trade in the Premiership yet finished bottom. It is no easier to get 1.9 points per game in Div 1, the CCC or the Premiership. YOu still have to beat what is in front of you with what you have.

Tell me how many teams have bought success overnight against those that haven't managed it? For every Blackburn there is a Manchester City, Tottenham and dozens more. Chelsea have spent the size of the national debt of a small country in trying to become the best club in Europe. Tell me how many European Chamions ships they have won?

Verbal Kint Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 With all the contrasting views about how AP has done this season I stumbled across an interesting way to evaluate it. At the beginning of the season the bookies offer a ‘season handicap’ market, where they evaluate all the teams and allot them a certain number of points head start. At the end of the season, the total points are added to the handicap given them at the start of the season and a new table is formed. I’ve been tracking the progress of this revised table with interest over the season. As it stands: 1 Swindon 97 (27) 2 Norwich 89 (7) 3 Millwall 85 (14) 4 Colchester 81 (16) 5 Bristol Rovers 78 (20) 6 Charlton 76 (8 7 Yeovil 74 (30) 8 Walsall 74 (27) 9 Southampton 74 (20) 10 Carlisle 72 (24) 11 Huddersfield 72 (10) 12 Leeds 71 (0) 13 Leyton Orient 68 (27) 14 Exeter City 68 (28 15 Gillingham 67 (27) 16 MK Dons 67 (10) 17 Brentford 67 (20) 18 Hartlepool 66 (27) 19 Brighton 62 (14) 20 Oldham 60 (20) 21 Stockport 59 (35) 22 Tranmere 58 (20) 23 Southend 55 (18 24 Wycombe 52 (20) Obviously the handicap allotted to us took into account the points deficit as well as our spending strength. Basically the point is that it perhaps gives a more balanced and neutral idea of where we started from in the summer and how we’ve done up to this point. The figure in brackets is the handicap allotted. Don't know if this adds anything but i think it's a good way of really evaluating how a team has done over a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Landy, Sad Old Git is really getting into his stride now, it's a real battle up front between him and Alpine Saint who should benefit from all the high altitude training and is used to wet conditions. Thedelldays, Pilchards and the rest of the field are clearly letting the leaders slug it out and hoping to come with a late charge. Ooh, a mistake from Alpine Saint there who is struggling a bit it would seem, Sad Old Git seems to have plenty in reserve at the moment and is clear 4/6 favourite "in running", been heavily backed by Saint Stevo it seems with Stkiptanui hedging his bets until he is sure he is on a loser.

dune Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Pardew has done OK, but he's certainly not done well.

If we where in the EPL and spent say 9mil and in the same postion everyone would be singing APs praises but becuase we are in league one, gave everyone else a 10pt head start people are saying APs not doing a good enough job it makes no ****ing sense to me.
