This is a good little read, from Steve Bacon, from when Pardew was at West Ham, just in case you had any apprehension as to whether or not Pardew is a t***:

 

“I don’t like Alan Pardew. There, I’ve said it. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever known a more arrogant person in my life. We never got on from the first moment we met – and our relationship deteriorated from there. There was one occasion when I threatened to stick a fork in his hand. I was sort of joking, but there were definitely times when I felt like swinging at him. Or telling him to fork off, if you follow my drift.”

 

“Let me tell you a story. In fact, it’s called the ‘King story’ among those who were present and who believe it’s a perfect example of Pardew’s arrogance. We were staying at a hotel in the North East ahead of a game at Sunderland during Alan’s first season in charge and were about to have our Friday evening meal. The players were restricted to boiled chicken or pasta, or suchlike, whereas the rest of the West Ham party had the choice of the entire menu. I sat down with Pardew, kit manager Eddie Gillam, physiotherapist John Green and fitness coach Tony Strudwick, who now works for Manchester United and has done very well for himself. We ordered our meals and suddenly Pardew asked us all what we were having. I think Eddie said he’d gone for the chicken, while I’d chosen the steak. Pards then turned to Struds, who revealed whatever it was he’d asked for. ‘That sounds good,’ said Pards. ‘Tell you what; if yours is better than mine when it turns up, I’m having that.’ That was one of the things he’d always say: I’m having that. ‘See that bloke’s haircut? I’m having that.’ He said it all the time. Anyway, I wasn’t ‘having that’ at all. So I said, ‘Well, you’re certainly not having my dinner. You’ll get a fork in the back of your hand!’ Pardew sort of laughed, before turning back to Struds and saying, ‘Yeah, if yours is better than mine, I’m having that.’ Our meals eventually arrived and Pards looked at Tony and said, ‘Yeah, I was right, yours definitely looks much better than mine; I’m having that.’ And he went to swap the plates over. ‘You can’t do that!’ I said. ‘What do you mean?’ he asked. ‘You can’t just take somebody else’s dinner,’ I said in disbelief. And he replied, without any hint of a joke, ‘When you’re the King, you can do anything.’ Eddie, Tony, John and I just looked at each other and there was an uncomfortable silence for a moment. Struds was a nice guy but he could be a bit of a ‘yes man’ at times and so he just allowed Pardew to swap the plates. However, the rest of us were flabbergasted by it all and we ended up discussing what had happened in the bar. Alan kept a straight face when referring to himself as ‘the King’ and I just couldn’t believe the arrogance of the man.”

That video of Fergie calling us a wee club in that thread too. :lol: I definitely dont miss that hateful c***.

 

Team Ashley (with Pardz' help - constantly talking us down) reduced the club's status significantly though, in comparison to pre-2006, so I think Fergie's jab has a touch of merit.

Pardew does not expect to enjoy his Christmas dinner as much as usual. “I don’t think the stuffing and the turkey will taste quite as sweet as they can do,” he said. “I probably won’t taste the cranberries in there.”

 

 

What a Christmas pud. :lol:

Those Man Utd fans are probably the same c***s who were calling us "deluded geordies" when we were "hounding out" good old Pards.

 

c***s.

 

Yep, fuck em. Couldn't give a fuck what they say and quite happy to watch the cunts get nowhere near the title for the foreseeable.

 

Fucking scumbags and Ferguson as well.

There's a Palace fan Ian W out there playing down the dismissive nature of these remarks as being a bit of Christmas levity which all manages indulge in :laugh: Hopefully there are more Palace fans spitting blood having to listen to him "charming" the press

Bit insensitive if you ask me, with all that's going on in Ankara.

Fergie had lost the plot by that time. It wasn't his famous mind games against a title rival, it was a totally unnecessary and classless outburst.
