Why not? As has been said, it's refreshing to hear someone offering vaguely coherent criticism of a manager doing a poor job.

Douglas is a poor writer. A step up from the window licker, mind, but that isn't saying much.

Yeah, it's not a ideal game for a manager to start, like.

Took the words from me.

Still got the same 3 centre halves we had in the Championship 5 years ago, and one of them is injured (as usual). Not as if we're conceding too many goals or owt.

A serial diver probably deserves that label, like. Unless he's Drogba and some sort of saint off the field.

Probably against us, for a start.

That ep is brilliant. "Say it like it is - it went tits up."

No. No more news.

Shepherd's Carver's mate. No surprise. Disappointed in Shepherd, mind. Talked nothing but utter nonsense for the entire time he was on.

Nothing at all.

Reads like Garde's ruled himself out or something.

You're kidding aren't you? He was never the brightest but what in the fuck actually happened to him?

Precisely.

I said this a few weeks back. Even the Leeds lot say he's the worst they've ever seen.

The Pennywell vote. Shouldn't worry.

Think the performances is pretty irrelevant, like. A scrappy 1-0 win means as much to our lot these days - in the boardroom and the stands - as a glittering 5-0 sodomy.

It's unbelievable how much this cowardly retard is hanging his hat on a 2-0 defeat.

I suppose there's merit to trying to confine it to one thread instead of letting it permeate the entire forum. Just a shame we can't just forget the arsehole and quietly enjoy him making a mess at Palace.

Can we not just let this thread die a death and put all the Pardew shit in the NWOAT?

I'm really not too bothered. The person who said it was there, involved, is honest and has absolutely no reason to misrepresent what happened. It barely conflicts with what Santoon's said anyway, in truth.

I won't shed tears if Carver is appointed, like. Effectively just giving the bloke enough rope to publically hang himself.

Coloccini's best mate was treated terribly by Pardew when he had a cancer, yet Coloccini defended him publically to preserve his own position in the side. He certainly wouldn't want to risk an astute manager coming in and taking him out of the side. Tbf astute manager or not he'd stay in the side by default atm due to their practically being no one else. Or taking the armband off him.

With you on that. It was a very enjoyable time. I enjoyed finishing 7th under Roeder, mind. We played a lot of good stuff in the last 3 months of that season.

If stories are to be believed, was on target to break Pardew's jaw before Shola stepped in. That's not true. He was mouthing off and refusing to speak to other players but he never went for Pardew. I don't know who's been telling you fibs but at no point did Hatem physically go for Pardew. He squared off with Pardew until Shola intervened. That's from as good as it gets in terms of source I've got it from better. There was shouting but at no point did Hatem go for him. I'd be very surprised if it was better than where I've got it from. They squared off, and Shola intervened, after the Man Utd game. No punches were thrown, that's true. Well I've got it from an honest person involved. But as I said, Hatem didn't go for him. Shouting, mouthing off and ignoring teammates was as hostile as Hatem got.
