Two match ban for Pardew
As any manager knows, sitting in the stands watching your team’s progress can be one of the hardest things to be punished with. You are only able to prep your team before they go out on the pitch and then only be able to offer instructions during the half-time interval.
Alan Pardew is a very vocal manager, always seen in his technical area issuing instructions to his players. Never without a pen and a paper, he makes a note of tactics and how the players perform during the match. Without Pardew there for the next two games, it does raise the issue of whether the team will operate differently without the silver fox at the helm?
The team could miss his vocal presence and guidance when the game plan doesn’t seem to be working. However assistant manager, John Carver is more than capable of issuing instructions on Pardew’s behalf.
Along with Carver being able to guide the team, I expect Pardew to have some form of communication with the bench so that he will be able to make any changes to the team if necessary.
It shouldn’t affect the team too much at all as he will no doubt make his tactical plans to the team clear during the training sessions leading up to both the Everton and Norwich City matches.
What do you think? Will it have a negative effect on our performances? Will it be no different in his absence? Could the team play even better knowing they haven’t got the pressure of a manager breathing down their necks all game?

I really don’t think it will make much difference to the team, as they should know what they’re doing, and should be able to adapt if it isn’t going to plan.
And sure Pards will still have Carver to issue instructions providing they can get walkie talkies that work.
Am I right in thinking he can still be in the dressing room before/HT/end of the game?
I don’t expect it will make too much difference at all to be honest. Carver and Stone will know whats going on and the players are used to each other. I can’t see it having any bearing on the game at all.
I see our wonderful youth team players are losing to the Mackems. These players and our reserve team players are supposed to be the reason we didn’t strengthen this summer! Well the reserves got beat last night too!
Oh dear.
It depends. Everton are a team capable of fluid changing of tactics so I do worry for us a bit, particularly as we’re going to be without the captain as well. Would like to see Staylor given the captaincy but Jonas/.Harper also make sense.
Don’t think it will make too much difference for Norwich.
Stuart-Wow, the first loss of the season for our reserve team and now a reaction like that. Knee jerk?
Stuart @ 3 … really mate?
Stuart
The u21 lost to Southampton last night 1-0. Soton has one of the most famous youth development systems in the world, they probably have more superstars in the making in that team and will be managed brilliantly, to lose only 1-0 I think is pretty good. On the reserves losing to the mackems I havent really followed themk as much so far this season.
On the article
Think the team will be okay so far as Pardew has given Carver the right instructions on how to play the team, but I’m sure Carver knows just as well as Pardew with regards to the players.
I’m actually suprised that Soton hasnt done what Barca has done and create a Soton B team to play Championship/league1/2. Would be good for the national team aswell with these junior superstars getting practice against tough sides.
Hughton vs. Big Chawing Fat Sam
Nolan just put a boot through Snodgrass’s balls, lucky to get away with that one..
Maiga looks pretty ordinary.. glad he failed that medical
this wont make any difference, will probaly work out better, you can see more higher up fro example where the space is.
Can’t believe that Nolan foul.
Eff Sam.
How fucking fat is Holt? Amazing.
Yeah, very curious about Maiga. We really wanted him, it seems, so our much vaunted scouting team’s reputation is a bit tainted if he blows.
Cisse suddenly becoming available killed the Maiga deal me thinks… Noln should have seen red for that kick on Snodgrass.. not that I really care
Maiga did well with that Bassong mistake a few minutes back, but his pass was a bit heavy. Let’s see.
Well the battle of the masters of tactics ended up nil all….I am glad neither are in charge of us now…
LIttle Mickey Owen on the bench for Stoke-stoke-bo-boke.
God i hate it when we don’t play on a saturday
So Arsenal are going goal crazy against Southampton ,its pretty clear they are out of their depth in the premier league.
Axel yeah I like the sat 3pm kick off
I think its just a day and time that is seeded in the brain 
Aussie @ 17
your glad Sir Chris isn’t in charge, some would have you hung for that 
Afternoon all > I don’t think Pards being in the stands will cause too many problems ,I’d be a bit more concerned if we were playing the Scum like as we’d want his passion on the line then. Wish we was playing today as it’s lewis birthday and a win would be nice.
KIM happy birthday to the wee one
Can’t believe Stoke are drawing with Citeh and QPR are holding Chelski.
Ice ,not so wee ,22 today
I’m feeling very old 
KIM dont worry it could be worse you could feel as old as big dave is
Kim hope he has a good one, to think that he is only quarter the age of Ice
Kim your only as old as you feel, and to your credit you didn’t look that old in that pic you put up a few months back
Ice & Dave
,He’s had lots of nice pressies so far .Just gone out with Hazel and his Dad for a bit so thought I would pop on see what’s going on. 
wheres this picture
Dave ,That’s very kind of you
Ice ,Damned if I know mate
Wigan caving in now 3.0 to Manure
They was doing so well too.
Ice we had to think of your BP at your age
How come Chelski can’t beat QPR then , are QPR better than us or are Romans boys having an off day.
The big boys always struggle at stoke ,makes our result there last season look all the better.
DAVE had a real abusive e-mail today from your friend,for what reason i dont know i never go on his site and havent been on here much lately
The scum 1-0 up against Liverfool
I needed a bigger boat!
Ice sorry I was away there and only back ??

Draw between the scum & Liverpool will do me!
DAVE mail
dog
Batty whats the craic me old bean
Ice mail
sound dave but iam having a lot of shite going on ,
Tell me about it mate
I seem to be getting a bit of shit mesel lately but mine mostly revolves round my daughters car 
DAVE batty has a cheap tow truck for sale hes a mate should do a deal
Ice I won’t need one now because I told her this is the last time, any more and she’ll sort it out herself, because this has worked out as a very dear car for us
DAVE its awful but sometimes you have to draw a line,or you could get her a armour plated one
Ice aye that would maybe do
but im sure she would do a lot more damage with that 
He’s got his radio so we should be Oak, however decisions and tacticql rhoughts will be slightly delayed, meaning there is a small chance that we could gt undone by Moyes making regular subtle changes. Another thing that worries me is the chinese whispers effect. I’m sure they will work hard to avoid that, but say Pards see’s Obertan on the wing and wants to give him directions, by the time he has radio’s down to Stone etc Obrtan has switched wings. As a result a 3rd party player is asked to pass the message on. The directions get misunderstood or a key word gets changed and suddenly we are not doing what he wants. With away games as well, I’d expect the home fans within earshot of Pards to be very loud, meaning he cant hear Stone and Stone cant hear him….
It’ll make little difference ……unless an Aussie sticks his oar in and misinterprets everything……quite possible, he’s a bit dim
Or if Tino butts in to a conversation playing the ‘knowledgable’ punter, when in truth he has no idea at all
Morning Troy
Oh dear, I thought the dimwitted Aussie was a stereotype…..obviously not!
On the last thread only you appeared to claim more knowledge than facts indicated, trying to twist comments. You made yourself look a bit daft then ….but hey, carry on
Frankly I think Pardew is lucky in games rather than deliberate. So I think it will have no difference.
Aye alreet Michael
Kip time for me 
Aussie ….work on your anagrams ya dense fecka
(THIS IS A GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING. THIS POSTER IS LIABLE TO DISAGREE WITH YOUR POINT OF VIEW. ONLY ENGAGE IF YOU AREN’T SENSITIVE AND DON’T TAKE HISSY FITS)
Morning Aussie
You read my disclaimer lately fella. You know you are liable to a hissy fit if I goad you.
I don’t see why it would make much difference. I’m sure they’ve worked out some means of communication. And being in the stands might give him a new perspective.
And speaking of new perspectives, looks like we have a new persona (aka dickhead) to the blog. Heroic Tino looks like an anagram if ever I saw one. I wonder which tit is hiding behind this one. Oh well, yet another person to ignore.
Hmm: heroic tino = richietoon
Wow, did you work out it was an anagram all on your own or did the fact that I indicated it was help you…so hardly hiding is it?
I was mucking around with Aussie and he was the only one I engaged, if he’s pissed off then fair enough.feel free to ignore my comments, I’m sure I’ll still manage to sleep at night
Fuck off Richie
I was enjoy in the banter actually .. 
*Enjoying*
Richie Aussie would never have worked it out, you would have had to spell it out for him. I think it’s the wombat in him.
I knew it was some fecker that was a regular, the wording and responses we familiar…… brain dead…
Dave is my IP still showing as scumderland?
Aussies lucky if he works out how to breath every day
*breathe
Aussie it is the same with that walter something and the toon manifesto that left 2 replys early sat morning I know it’s someone AKA that is on here . Actually he writes a bit like a librarian
Yep, there are some sneaky feckers that like hiding behind different user names.. not really my thing tho… you did well not to bite I must say..
Richie don’t know mate im on my phone, and it’s a fuker to keep going from this thread back to the other
Richie @ 61. I only ignore people who are personas. Happy to deal with real people.
Dave @ 69. Wasn’t me, mate. I don’t do that sort of thing.
Bris …not usually my thing but Aussie deserves it
