He was shite but don't think you can really hold it against him that he was happy to stay as backup, plenty of better keepers have sat on the benches of clubs. He came across as a decent lad other than a drunken bar story where he refused to slag his manager off. Happy to never see him wear the shirt again but don't seem to have the same levels of hatred towards him as some others.

Pretty much aye.

Wonder if he’ll bother going elsewhere.

 

Pretty settled up here and has used the adoring Donnay Army’s money to buy properties.

 

I wondered this. Wouldn't have surprised me at all if he ended up at the mackems. However, given they're in the clag financially, it won't happen. Dunno how Burra are getting on for keepers...?

Anyone seen the Fozcast episode where he talks Pards and Rafa? Worth a watch: https://youtu.be/52RVPqrG1Cs

 

He was terrible though. Could not kick the ball to save his life… most of the time would struggle to get it to half way.

Quite interesting if you've got an hour to kill.   Seems like a good guy. Very upbeat, fast talker, almost a bit manic. Lives in Cullercoats (even though he's with Watford now) and loves it. Was in awe of players like Cabaye, Demba Ba, Jonas, even Ryan Taylor.   Had a bit to say about Rafa's aloofness and PR skills and Rafa's falling out with Tim Krul.  Thinks Woodman will be a top PL goalie because he's so intense and driven.

Yeah, I thought it was worth the full watch. Some interesting insights into Pardew, Rafa and some of the players.

 

He’s no fan of Pardew - the Charlton stuff around 27 mins was good value :thup:

He's *not* a fan of pardew!?!? He was famous for sucking him off (metaphorically) and being part of his cheerleader crew. What changed?
