? I re-watched this for first time in awhile recently as the Mrs hadn't seen it.

Genuinely burst out laughing hearing the"corrected" in my head. ?

At worst the 3rd best manager of the Ashley era.  Obviously says very little of his ability and more about Ashley. 

No manager was ever going to succeed under Ashley without being a huge arse licker. He achieved something getting 5th. Deservedly or not it is still an achievement, but was never sustainable and I still consider it the flukiest result since Leicester took the title.

 

A decent manager would have had those player consistently in the top 6

That squad was immensely over rated.
 

Williamson

Ryan Taylor

Steven Taylor

Santon

Cisse (first 6 months aside)

Jonas

Simpson

Yanga-Mbiwa

Gouffran

Anita

 

These were not top 6 level players. 

 

 

Krul

Colo

Demba

Cabaye

Tiote

HBA

 

Is a good spine. Like top 8. But the rest of the team is wasn’t particularly good.

I think Pardew succeeded in his bosses objectives. He kept us up fairly comfortable most seasons and didn’t complain about his boss. 
 

He was an outright failure to us. But our owner didn’t care.

The players seemed to like him, certainly Barton has spoken very well about him in interviews since retiring.

If Barton speaks well of him that's probably in the "cons" column tbf.

He literally made me want us to lose every week, he got some great wins when he was here and the 4-4 will forever be one of, if not the best comeback in PL history. However, along with some scattered elation came a lot of absolutely dire performances, record numbers of 3+ goal losses and a penchant to blame everything but himself for some horrific tactical displays. 

 

It's nice that he only has good things to say about the team, the city and the supporters, but he will always be the slimy, rubber lipped womaniser that blamed the Notting Hill Carnival for yet another tepid display of anti-football. I'm glad he's gone and don't look back fondly on anything he "achieved".

Made me hate football.

 

Made me want my own fucking team to get beat. Incomprehensible that I'd tune in to our matches just to cheer opposition goals. I'll never forgive him for that.

Is that Premier League title-winning Danny Simpson?

 

(Yeah, I know, he was still shit)

Aye the very one. He was still bang average and not even a top 10 level

PL defender.

That’s a good enough spine to not be floundering in trouble constantly.

I will never forget the noise that came out of my face when I saw this live. It was pure reptilian hatred. It was instinctive. If I'd had pets they would have started snarling. Absolutely feral.
