"We can do it, we can over-achieve."

 

Such a massive bastard, man. Couldn't give a shite what's going on at Palace.

 

How many times did he say "can't compete"? :lol:

 

If it wasn't so ball-smashingly excruciating it would be hilarious.

Lying c*** warning.

 

 

“There was no way I could say my spirit was high at Newcastle at the end – it wasn’t.

 

“They’d (the fans had) banged me down, banged my spirit down. And a lot of my management is about my spirit and my front foot, let’s come on, we can do it, we can over-achieve – that’s what I’m about.

 

“Of course this environment (at Palace) is perfect for me, I knew it would be perfect for me.”

 

“I tried to put on that pitch at Newcastle an entertaining team. At times, it wasn’t, for sure.

 

“At times we struggled, we lost players to injury, we didn’t invest enough.

 

“For all those reasons we had some sticky periods.

 

“But in my last game there I knew there was a possibility this might open up to me this place (Palace), and we (Newcastle) played Everton and we won, we were ninth in the Premier League.

 

“I looked at the Press the next day and the social media – because social media is a massive part of the feeling of the group, it really is, you can’t get away from it I’m afraid. It’s the same here (at Palace), social media plays a big part now.

 

“So I looked at it (after the Everton game) and it was like: ‘We’re under-performing.’

 

“I thought we were over-performing in the end so really I knew it was the best time to give them (Newcastle) a new start and me to move on.”

 

“Coming to this place (Palace) and where we are right now, it’s very attractive to players and easy to sell to them,” Pardew continued.

 

“Cabaye was easy; I’m the manager here, I make all the big decisions with the owner, who has tremendous faith, he was with me when we met Yohan. We have a fanbase that’s right behind us. And we love them for being noisy.

 

“It (Palace) has great attributes for a professional football; access to home from London is easy whether you live in Buenos Aires or Windsor.”

 

 

:lol:

 

Though we did almost hit the dizzy heights of 8th, which was top of the league in his head.

I think that's from his interview with Graham Hunter on the big interview podcast. I listened to 5 minutes of it before, he also claims if Ben Arfa had've scored to go 2-0 up against Benfica we would've won the Europa League as we 'dominated' Benfica. The early part of the interview is about how he wasn't happy with the lack of technical work they did when he got his coaching badges, he speaks as if he's some sort of coaching genius. It's a tough listen.

He and others are always banging on about how we were safe and sound, and the fan discontent was unfair based on our league position (as if being 9th was any reason to want to keep him); the SackPardew stuff started when we were 20th, 15 of the last 21 games having been defeats. It doesn't need saying but fan unrest was not unwarranted. Not in any way shape or form. And I'm only looking at stats there,  never mind all the other stuff.

 

Absolutely despise the line that he was treated unfairly by the fans. He's the luckiest twat in the game.

Everyone but us seems to have forgotten 2012-13 as well. Convinced that if Swansea (with absolutely fuck all to play for and Shechter up front) hadn't somehow come from behind twice to beat Wigan, we'd have gone down.

That win against Everton was after four consecutive defeats too - including yet another feeble cup exit where we never put up a fight; so he can fuck off using that as a benchmark for where we were. Such a fucking twat. Christ I know we're still shit, but a massive part of that is his doing and I love/hate these little reminders that we were so right to want him gone. I used to want us to lose ffs. This weekend I was angry we dropped two points against Villa. I'm allowed that horrible/brilliant/completely natural feeling because this shithead has gone.

We're still shit because we threw the baby out with the bathwater imo. McClaren, as much as I don't really like him and didn't want him would have, imo, done way better with the 2011-2014 squad we had.

Not sure why he's still talking about us like, the fucking dweeb.

 

He needs to forget about us, we need to forget about him.

He should worship the fucking ground we walk on tbh, passively allowed him 3.5 years of absolute shite which has enabled him to move to a club where he's worshipped like a cockney God and getting paid more money for the privilege. If we'd treated him as he should have been treated then he'd probably be out of work now.

Such a f***ing t***. Christ I know we're still s***, but a massive part of that is his doing and I love/hate these little reminders that we were so right to want him gone.

Not sure he would have, as for the most part I'd put them in the same bracket as each other. Pardew imo was found out when Ba left as he was the glue that held that team together. I think McClaren would have bottled a lot of the same decisions Pardew did, especially with Cisse.

I really resented the constant negative message he used to spout in every press conference about how we could not compete with virtually every other club - so much so - that it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.  And that is his legacy to this club - we had belief when he arrived but it was drained out of us by the time he left.

His luck will run out when Cabaye gets crocked apparently stoke played them off the park at the weekend and its not the first time its happened this season.

 

The season he had us 5th was just as lucky Cisse just had to aim a shot at goal and it was in, Pardew will fall into his own trap of believing he's better than what he is and palace will drop like a stone after Christmas.

I think he'll be okay at Palace sadly. I think he is destined to follow the path of Icarus and get a smackdown from The Sun when he takes on and fails at the England job.

 

Then he will really be in the shit when his ego has pushed him beyond what he can deliver, because it is then he'll have to take a job on, but not on his terms. He'll have to take on a struggling side, one without a ready made defence, and that will expose how crap he is.

I was at that match and it goes without saying that if he'd had us attacking from the start like we were in the last 15 minutes, we would have stood a better chance. That was actually a scenario in which his negative approach might have actually worked though, it was a weird one.
