This. I was thinking the other day when Pardew was here and I actually wanted us to lose games. When we scored it was just a Partridge shrug.gif.
Now Rafa has brought all the love back,and considering we're in a lower division than before,that's quite mind blowing!
I remember being absolutely gutted at times when we scored. How did it ever come to that?
Because the camera instantly panned over to Pardew uppercutting the air?
because every goal meant the increased likelihood of his ongoing presence at the club
pardew almost killed my love of football in general, if i had the choice between the two i'd take the relegation and rafa any f***ing day of the week like
You try to explain that to fans of other teams and they basically call you a liar. When in truth what you wrote there, is a spot on as it gets.
Totally agree. I'm far far happier now after relegation but with Rafa in charge than I was for the 3 or 4 years previous to that in the premiership with dickheads in charge.
