He came on when we were 2 down at home ffs. In what world can you give a balanced opinion of him in that game? Or indeed say that anything that Pardew did was "absolutely correct"

If a team is going to get a result at the Etihad then it's Chelsea, still hard to turn City down at odds of close to evens at home.

They always do though; every player gets a slagging for a poor performance, you only have to look at their own threads after a match to see that. Dunno why some seem to suggest the players get off without blame. Pardew is the manager though so takes overall responsibility. On the blaming players thing....Di Canio made the headlines last week for slagging his players and blaming them for his poor results. Now those same players have pissed all over hoofball Pardew 3-0 under a more thoughtful manager. Something to think about. They did under Di Canio tbf

Your mate specifically asked people to do so.

"Hatem Ben Arfa is not a right winger"

It clearly works considering a couple on here have likened him to Mourinho on a few occasions. "Spars with the worlds best tactically." Absolute whitey.

Neesy still off his nut from the weekend.

You mean the one that leaves Shola Ameobi as your 2nd choice striker? No thanks. Keep the scouting, ditch the policy. Well done, you almost managed to read his post there :lol:

Extend the scouting to beyond France.

Take the quotes on their own and they're probably not that bad, consider them alongside everything else he says and they're just more waffle. He's going back on previous statements he's made and trying to spin as something else "Well erm, when I said that I didn't, like, err, mean this window. We'll replace Cabaye sometime... I think." And ultimately just try to avoid the questions as best he can and get out of the interview sharpish. It was obviously going to be a difficult interview after another 3-0 home defeat to them muppets, but that's sort of his own fault.

I'm struggling to see how Bobby Robson providing 1 set of quotes on a player saying "I don't want to sell him but we're getting a good price" is in any way akin to Pardew regularly coming out with shit trying to justify Ashley's actions. Like Robson would bottle a set of questions aimed him like Pardew has there ffs: "'Well, I’ve said it, ain’t I? But I’m meaning in the long-term as well as the short-term, that it’s the quality we need. And, you know, today has been a tough day for us and I don’t really want to add any more to it, to be honest." Each to their own I suppose, I know Robson had the clubs best interests at heart and was a godsend himself to the club. Pardew is a mouthpiece, there's really no comparison between the 2.

He barely sold anyone in 3 years or summat tbf. Domi and Goma. Nowt to get worked up over. Never got any time to reinvest the Woodgate money, that went to Souness. But then Pardew has had almost £50m of investment too. People keep saying the one thing he should be thankful for is his team full of internationals that he's been provided to save his skin. So what point are you trying to make here? How is Robson a front for an owner draining resources out of the club? Robson was backed heavily in the transfer market and (according to transfermarket) spent an extra £50-£60m or so in excess of any money he brought in through transfers. In a similar time frame Pardew has made a £45m profit or something daft like that. The 2 situations are wildly different. And Pardew should be happy for his "team full of internationals that he's been provided to save his skin," he has a very good set of players as we've made some very astute purchases. The squad as a whole is still wafer thin and he's still talking utter shit in defence of the man who has the power too, but flat out refuses to spend the funds we're generating from player sales on replacements/squad improvements.

Nah I don't know, you can tell me if you want? I know that anything Bobby Robson sold in the transfer market was reinvested back in the squad though. (A quick look on transfermarkt suggests Robson spent around £60m)

I'm just bored of every utterance being criticised no matter what. No matter how happy or forlorn he is. No matter how honest or deceiving. No matter how factual or misleading. And the best way to combat this is definitely to say "SBR [was a] front for an owner draining resources out of the club and [was] actively taking the p*ss out of us."

Like Robson's situation at any club is in any way reminiscent of Pardew's

Aye lets flog all of our players instead of investing in a proper squad and sacking the utter divvy in the dugout.

ALAN PARDEWS BLACK N WHITE ARMY!!!!!!!

Alan Pardews black n white army

Pards has played a blinder

Can I wish him a happy death? Like, I hope he dies, but doing something he loves.

Nothing will ever beat that window with the bumming Norwich & Leeds fans. So many great things happened.
