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

Pardew left.  Virtually all players suck up to their current manager to some extent if they want to be picked to play.

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.

 

Didn't know Benitez fell out with Krul, thought he just binned him off. What was the fallout over?

Not far from me. His littlest is in a couple of classes with my lad. Nice bloke.

To add context to that, as it probably reads worse, or 'unfair' now. This was during a time when we were being blatantly mismanaged by Pardew. The equivalent nowadays would have been TheGuv having the same conversation with someone like Hendrick about Bruce.

Didn't he do something similar when he was insisting that we should all be happy with being in the Premier League and that we've never been a top 10 club or something?

 

He might be canny (which seems to cover all sins) but he was an absolute knacker when he was here and a very shit 'keeper.
