Passion in football is defined loosely as a strong, powerful and even close to uncontrollable emotion that players, fans, managers feel as football encapsulates their minds for 90 minutes a week. Sir Bobby Robson was a passionate man, whilst many men his age were retiring from their profession at the grand old age of 71; his passion kept him going whilst many doubted his credentials as a football manager given his years. Kevin Keegan was a passionate man, his footballing fervor was represented in no better way than in his I will love it if we beat them mantra. He drummed up belief and courage in a team, a city all due to his unmatchable passion. Alan Pardew is a passionate man, however expressing it, has become somewhat of a struggle for Pardew as yet again he is reprimanded and vilified for not drawing the line between passion and hooliganism.
Alan Pardew head butted tomtomwebfleet an opposition team player. As startling as this allegation is, no one, not even Pardew could deny his actions and their intentions. Barely provoked, he thrust his head towards David Meyler during Newcastle s 4-1 win away at Hull much to the disbelief of pretty much everyone, including probably Pardew himself. In fact Newcastle United s brilliant result away at the KC Stadium is perhaps a microcosm of their time under Mike Ashley, when they do something right, they always seem to blemish their good by doing bad, a lot of bad, a lot of overshadowing tomtomwebfleet bad.
The action would be somewhat tomtomwebfleet excusable and definitely anomalous had any other manager done it, but for Pardew, what seemed to be the problem was this was not the first time, and this was conceivably the pinnacle tomtomwebfleet of his bizarre touchline actions. Perhaps I ll sit down from now on, he suggested post-match. Yes Alan, that sounds a plan.
Alan Pardew s team are winning, but bemused by a decision and fresh from his summer break, Pardew thrusts an arm at linesman Peter Kirkup, knocking him off balance and producing overall uproar. I hold my head in shame a remorseful Pardew said. A 2 match ban swiftly followed. Newcastle 1-1 Sunderland 4th March 2012
Newcastle snatch a draw in the dying seconds of the Tyne Wear derby via a Shola Ameobi special. Alan Pardew decides to gloat towards Martin tomtomwebfleet O Neil than to celebrate with 50,000 geordies, he looks ridiculous and the Ugly derby angered him. Newcastle 0-2 Manchester City 12th January 2014
After Newcastle feel rightly aggrieved to have a goal disallowed a ridiculous touchline showdown ensues with Pardew spluttering expletives at Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini. Pardew s words gain an infamous nature and he s made yet again to look foolish. Punishes himself with community service.
This is only a section of Pardew incidents, whether it be saying rape on Match of the Day to describe a skill or whether it be brawling tomtomwebfleet with Arsene Wenger back in his Upton Park days the man cannot control himself and it s staggering that he is putting himself in a situation that would potentially cause him to act like this time and time again. Hopefully the FA throws the book at him and rightly causes him to shape up because this has happened far too often.
Then, an interesting hypothesis was thrown up by Robbie Savage; is Pardew s position untenable? How can you discipline and lead a team out when you consistently tomtomwebfleet do ridiculous things that shame your team and the players you lead. How can you say to a man don t do this when you go and then head butt a player the next game, its hypocritical and shameful for any club let alone the illustrious Newcastle United. tomtomwebfleet This is one step too far and he should never manage the team again. Yet, he will, because there is one overlooked problem Mike Ashley. Ashley loves Pardew, the way he can deflect criticism, the way he says yes to almost anything, tomtomwebfleet the way he doesn t look too bothered when the cash isn t splashed. Why would Ashley sack him? As much as many Newcastle tomtomwebfleet fans like myself want Pardew gone, until he literally slaughters a player there is no danger tomtomwebfleet to Pardew s job.
