Mahoneys Tache Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 While I agree with the view that he’s an arse, I’m going to suggest that Lee, McGarry, Dinnis and to an extent McFaul were worse at the job than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t checked the records, but Carver, McLaren, Sounness, Bruce? (Really liked Iam/Willy McFaul, and Ardiles—and Charlton actually—but they probably had relatively worse records).

The Butcher Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Got us into Europe, the cunt. Did a better job than every other manager we've had post Bobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 McClaren, Carver, Souness & Bruce were all significantly worse managers for us than Pardew. In terms of "biggest cunt" I think he's in a pretty close run thing with Bacon Boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought good players through Carr’s eye for a foreign bargain and they performed well together. Pardew, the absolute fraud, just happened to be there. And made the odd left back substitution to look like he was doing something. Despite Pardew, not because of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 He was absolutely shit, we didn’t have xG in those days but Cisse’s actual goals against xG must have been +8. He had a brilliant squad of players and had us playing awful football and getting incredibly snide wins by a goal. Ben Arfa also got him out of a jail a few times despite the snake screwing him over in the long run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 He stumbled upon a good front 3, which got us to 5th, but then ripped it up the following year when Ba insisted on playing centrally and he just let him, and the results were never the same. We also lucked out in loads of matches with moments of brilliance which is unsustainable long-term. As was again proven the following year. It was despite him, not because of him.

The Butcher Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 How many of those 'brilliant' players went on to better things? Simpson won the league at Leicester. Cabaye and Ba. Anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your defence of the man? Ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The verb "to be Pardewed" became common parlance throughout his tenure on here, as promising players all started to look shit after a few months of his 'coaching'.

The Butcher Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm on about that 11/12 season - nothing else. He did a great job that season. That's it. Everything went to shit after that, but that's not the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 If you are basing the season solely off the final league placement with absolutely no context whatsoever, then yes, he did a great job that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Seems like I have to come onto this godforsaken thread every 6 months to trot this out. How many matches did you watch in 11/12 @The Butcher ? I'd be happy to discuss how you thought that Pardew's 1 and only tactic which was the long ball from our centre backs into the knees of Cissé and Ba, who for all their fantastic finishing abilities, had the first touches of paeodophilic girrafes in a children's circus. That Tiote and Cabaye were instructed to sit on the toes of our centre backs and were never available to contest the second ball. The tactic, if you can believe it, every game was to just give the ball to the opposition, sit back and hope they made a mistake that we could exploit. We had nothing on the ball whatsoever beyond individual brilliance from some brilliant (at the time) players - Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Cissé and Ba. Cissé had the best 4 months a footballer could possibly have, every shot he took went in, it was ridiculous (too many to cite, but the one vs Chelsea is my favourite).
