My only issue was the Ben Arfa treatment

 

Plus the playing small 

 

plus the constant advertising of players for sale

 

plus the streaky form

 

plus the ‘king’ stuff and constantly bigging himself up

 

plus the Southampton brainy kids thing

 

That’s all

 

plus the crappy football aside from the 5th season

 

plus complaining about Europe 

 

still agree he’s better than Bruce though

What's even worse is that despite all this he barely makes the top 5 list of our worst managers in the last 20 years.

Crazy that. And correct - you’d have to put Carver, Bruce, McClaren, Souness and Kinnear above him.

I never had an issue with Alan Pardew.

I think he did a fairly decent job for us and had his hands tied after finishing 5th.

 

I have never met you, and you may well be a smashing human, with unbelievable virtue and be one of the most eloquent and nicest humans someone could wish to meet.

 

However, your statement means you're bereft of any brain cells, may god have mercy on your pitiful soul, I hate you and hope your joy department falls off into a well.

Time is a great healer... Just what a few years and the passage of Steve Bruce can do.

 

Pardew was however indeed so toxic. The original Ashley miserabler.

Let's not forget his derby record including two 0-3 defeats at home. And our record PL home defeat 0-6 against Liverpool. 

 

I remember a terrible run of form when every game he would just laud the opposition every game as if they were 1970s Brazil instead of just saying we were shit again

All the 3+ goal defeats.

I will not defend Pardew. I celebrated like a madman that night it broke that he was we going to Palce. Awful manager. Hated how much of a willing mouthpiece he was too.

 

But, look at the state of that team post Ba. Captained by a coward, very few strong characters / leaders - they were all disposed of. And few players proven or experienced in the PL, especially at that point.
