The difference being Rafa is having a go at the club, Pardew was sticking up for it. Its completely different, and comes from a man that actually knows what hes talking about.
Don't really care tbh, i don't want to hear excuses regardless of what the reasons are. It's bullshit at the end of the day, we all know Ashley is a cunt of the highest order so what point are you making.
Also you know damn well if anyone else said that they'd get lambasted, regardless if they are having a go at the club or not.
Unlike Pardew, who never really 'cherished' being manager here, Rafa cares about the club and badly wants it to succeeded, as he's clearly smart enough to realise its potential.
Pardew is just a loser with low standards and a cunt, to boot.
