The Premiership managers took part in a Barclays survey on various topics and Pardew wasn't even mentioned in the Manager of the Season category. Not saying that he should be, but I'm surprised other professionals felt that way too.
Judging by some of the results, I doubt it's been done recently though

STEEEEVE GERRARD, GERRARD! HE'LL PASS THE BALL 40 YARDS. HE'S BIG AND HE'S FUCKING HARD. STEVE GERRARD, GERRARD!
What a wonderful club, with fantastic fans and lovable manager. Don't you just love the Kop?
OM are a big club. They belong in the later stages of this competition. Do not let the English and Spanish oligopoly confuse you.
Yeah they're massive, but I meant on the pitch. Doing quite poorly in the league, aren't you?
If the top 5 and Liverpool are already guaranteed Europe, it doesn't matter whether we're 6th or 7th as it's all down to the FA Cup (i think). Obviously it'd be nice to finish above that despicable stench of a club, but we can't let Everton near us.
By the way, how come this derby gets played on an evening? The police force the rest of us to play early, is it because scousers are lovely cuddly people that wouldn't hurt each other?
Really looking forward to getting him out of the team....it'll cause great optimism for next season. Once we get Saylor/New CB to partner Colo maybe we can finally stop worrying about our defence.
If we get him to improve his right foot he could be an amazing winger. Teams will figure out that he cuts inside, but with two feet he'll just 'Richardson' them
It's strange hearing pundits saying he's had a great season when he's been held back so much. Nowhere near his potential, imagine what they'll say if he gets there.
