Good post, I also like the formatting. That must be the tidiest post I've ever seen on here.

You only seem to be able to see things in isolation. Ferguson was a good manager who took over a shit team and the same goes for Bobby.

Man U were utter shit under Ron Atkinson and when Ferguson was appointed, they were third bottom in the old first division and they appointed him because of his past record which was him winning 3 league titles, 5 domestic cup competitions and the UEFA cup. He was the third horse in a two horse race and he won trophies on a regular basis, compare that to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy winners medal that our manager can fall back on. Stability didn't make him a good manager, he clearly was a good manager before joining Man U and that's why he was given time, he didn't become a good manager because he was given time.

If I have misunderstood your comment then I apologise, I'm probably too used to seeing Moyes being used a reason for us to keep Pardew.

You've contributed to it so that's a bit rich.

In your honest opinion we can't get a batter manager, give your head a shake. As for stability, it's bollocks, you don't get stability with a poor manager. The managers who have stability didn't become good managers because of stability, they have stability because they are good managers.

That old chestnut again.

I've spent longer than 5 months wanting a batter manager than Pardew.

I find it amazing that some people still want to keep him and the only reasons they can come up with is stability or him being somebody else. They can't say keep him because he's tactically astute, they can't say keep him because we're good at anything as a football team, they can't say keep him because he improves any area of our play and they can't say keep him because he's improving our players. Na, keep him because we need stability or keep him because he might be David Moyes. Is that the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped I hear?

Pardew isn't Moyes, get used to it and get over it.

Some people seem to like drinking that piss.

I get behind the team every game and have never sang about Pardew.

It looks like it.

I suggest you look up the meaning of "gullible"

I've seen us win something once and would love to see it again, going down is a much lower low than winning something is a high. The last relegation was a one off as I can't remember us going down and coming straight back up again.

You're so gullible, you'll always give him another game.

If we go down this season will you still claim the same?

Try it.

The problem with Pardew is that he's so arrogant he thinks he's above being criticised. I remember when one of our fans had a go at him earlier this season from behind the dug-out and some members of the media claimed that he had a go back at the fan.

I know.

Aye, sorry.

OK, "They" were Sunderland if anybody didn't make the connection.

How?
