When did Southampton go 'south' under his time there? It's lazy accusations like this which undermine this "history of Pardew suggests he'll be shit" argument. They appointed Adkins a few weeks after Pardew was fired and now, only 3 years on, they're on course to finish above us so that's how easy a job it was for a good manager.

Fair point. But... last season he was decent. The football was decent too. I know this season has been awful but none of us know which way next season would go under Pardew. We can't know. Since we can't know what kind of football we'll have until we're playing it, the only stuff that matters are the external factors like stability and relationships in the club. The football hasn't changed too much to my eyes in the last few years. It worked last year but as the players are getting better it's working less and less by the week and I can't see getting any better. I've been blaming the players plenty recently but a team full of internationals just shouldn't be performing this badly every single week. This sounds completely made up and I won't ask for proof as you never bother to provide it.

The only reasons I ever see for keeping Pardew is "stability", "the players/board like him" and "Ashley can't appoint a good manager". I don't recall one person saying we'll actually improve on the pitch if he stays. That should be the first reason people give for him staying as that's the most important thing but alas...

Sounds like he knows he's finished. Though he does say "hopefully" all the fucking time about everything so why knows?

That's photoshopped mate. Jeez. Still defending the indefensible

Guess who.

I assumed it wasn't or I wouldn't have posted it But that's what you look like to some people ftr.

I haven't been to a game this season, it's been watching on the internet or on chinese tv with the sound down On my dodgy laptop I can barely hear the crowd, I thought it was 'Yohan Cabaye'

Ronaldo isn't just an internet hard man tbf. He once bit a shark.

God man replacement's don't have to 100% of Coloccini to 100% of a replacement.

Neil Lennon, Neville, O'Neill and Hughes are in the top 6 favourites for the Everton jerb

He's not shit but finishing safely in the top 8 is a million miles away from winning the league. He'll need to step up about 50 levels from where he's been at for years.

He'd be a completely unspectacular, mid table, safe appointment which is a bad thing imo.

Pardew on Pointless. 5 people knew he was our manager.

Adam Armstrong will be the big one.

My new theory is that his wages are high this season based on last years success and would therefor result in a big payoff if sacked. However, his wages will drop significantly in the very near future due to how low we're finishing this season and will result in a far smaller payoff. I hope that's why they're waiting to sack him.

Perfect timing if so. He won't do better than this next year.

£25 on Neil getting banned before 10pm.

Oh aye, obviously Pardew talks a lot of nonsense and also doesn't know much about physiotherapy. But I don't think that means the club has mistreated Ben Arfa. This is his 3rd comeback this season and Pardew is still saying he needs 6 or 7 weeks to recover. It hasn't been handled well by any stretch of the imagination.

Fulham? Anzhi? "Out for the season" "needs surgery I fink I dunno"

Jack Flash. . You're trusting Pardew when he talks about injuries? Good lord. Where to even start with how Ben Arfa has been (mis)treated this season.

Who thinks that?
