Apparently he's a good friend of Graham Carr.
Unsure why that should matter, though

Tommo.
Was at the game if I remember right he had his back too it. I was pretty surprised he missed it and even said to my mate Costa was lucky he didn't see it

My mum has hated him for ages, he's always wanted to be the centre of attention and I'm surprised whenever he has to get the vanishing spray out he doesn't re-holster it like a cowboy would in a spaghetti Western the shitcunt.
Number 1
Maybe - could push Janmaat into a winger role given he seems substantially better going forward than he does defending.

With Pardew, I could take a midtable finish in 2012/13, but a relegation battle, poor tactics and a poor transfer policy were a major backward step. Then in 13/14, we were appalling after Cabaye left, and it seemed as though everyone involved lack interest in doing anything after mid-January. The fact the team didn't try for a lot of that period and those who remained carried it over to the first two months of last season were appalling. At first it seemed like the default "Manager sucks" routine, but it seems with certain players (Sissoko) to be deep-seeded, and makes me wonder if we should've sold them.
I dunno. We bought 4 good players in the summer for the first team but we could've used another 2/3, particularly in defence and attack.

Because basically 3.5 seasons is a better indicator than 1. A 75% success ratio is better than 0%
And Pardew at least had the mitigating factors of Cisse off form, Ba leaving, Cabaye going in a sulk, Taylor breaking himself, HBA missing most of the season. Most of which was out of his control.
Why was he lucky? Over the course of the season Newcastle were the tenth best side, no luck whatsoever.

We're not that bad ffs.
Basically what we don't have. In Pardew's last full season, we went out the cups early but spent most of the season in the top 8, before a late collapse. People became obsessed with the cups, and how Newcastle were killing football, and how football should be about trophies and not cash etc. It ignored that Newcastle were knocked out the cups by two PL sides, Man City (the eventual winners) who we took to extra time in the League Cup. And Cardiff in the FA Cup, we were shite that day, but Pardew went to win, no doubt about it.
Where as the season we finished 16th, the very enjoyable run to the QF of the Europa gets completely whitewashed from history. As does the run to the QF of the Carling Cup last year. Because cup runs are shite when you're getting beat every week.
Ultimately the reason Pardew was so hated. Was merely he stuck around. Allardyce, Hughton, Souness, Roeder, Robson, Keegan, Gullit and Dalglish all went pretty much as soon as things have went wrong. I think Pardew is the only manager who I've ever seen allowed to steady the ship after a bad run.
A large number of fans just started blindly slating him, insisting his football was defensive or hoofball regardless of what was happening, always lucky when he won, always at fault for defeat. Insisting he doesn't have the balls to drop players, or that he's got favourites for when the 'star' players do get dropped.

2013/14 entirely rested on a hot streak in November/December, fuelled by Cabaye playing well (or playing for a move) and Remy's goals. We were inconsistent before then and largely appalling afterwards. A few results differently in those two months would've given that campaign a less rosy picture.

Just as happened at West Ham and Charlton before it happened to us.

As did Shearer and Joe Kinnear.
And Ruud Gullit.

So yeah, Pardew achieved more top finishes than Newcastle did over a twenty year period.
And aye Pardew will get fund out the first 9 months are notoriously easy, just ask McClaren.

We've been so poor.
EDIT: Such a shame as that save from De Gea was brilliant.
