Wow.

Why the FUCK would you do that?

Agree, let's make this guy feel seriously unwelcome.

Fair enough.

Was there another side to this bet, they always neglect to mention these things.

You could have just gave that tenner to me, I could have bought a few cans with that.

That was my idea, if you've jinxed it by doing it so early I'll be furious.

Don't think he's been mentioned, no.

I was going to say similar, I was at that game too and he tore us to shreds. Have been there when Gerrard's done similar as well.

Have just whacked a hundred on it, how sure are you?

Sorry, just had visions of Wor Jackie with a Sports Direct shopping bag in one hand and one of those massive mugs in the other.

We only lost 2 out of 11 home games under Pardew last season, so that's 4 losses out of 29 at home since he came in. Impressive stuff.

Just had a thought: what if they plaster Sports Direct branding all over it?

Is that Lawro's prediction for the Man City match at the bottom there?

Just remembered Redknapp's mockery when Pardew counted himself out of the running for the England job, would make it even sweeter if we finished above Spurs. Well tbf it's just fantastic that we've got Redknapp scared to death regardless of whether we finish 4th or not.

The sad thing is that most of these people will be basing their view entirely on his first season with us and him being a touch shaky in a side in disarray in his first season in a new league. For a fan not to have bothered watching him since then is ridiculous, for a journo it's unforgiveable.

Wew, that's class.

No it's not, it's in French.

Aye, never saw the point of hiding this statue away where not a lot of people would see it, good stuff.

I honestly wouldn't have a clue how to even begin doing this.

Yeah that's what i thought, you might as well not have the thing or call it PFA player/team of the mid-season if so.. how hard is it to do it later in the season instead of coming up with something as ridiculous as this. Glad Colo got some sort of recognition though. Tbf they do call it 'of the year', at least they don't package it as for the season. But I agree, it is stupid having it purposely set to vote for calendar years. How hard is it to bump up the voting procedure to 5 months later? I know it's called "Player of the year" but I thought it was supposedly based on the season?
