I hate saying, and i feel dirty even doing so. Under Pardew we also had some good football too, rarely but at least we had a few. Under Bruce.....one maybe.
Yeah we did. Sometimes.
But I still maintain that was despite Pardew being manager, not because of him. We had some really good players. Ba was phenomenal for us back then.
Bruce is absolute hoop but Pardew shades it for me because all he had was an ego and a mouth and I hated the lies that came out of his smug Cthulhu-lipped face.
