I'm not one of Pardew's biggest fans but the way some of the people on this forum look for the slightest thing to moan about shows how small minded many people can be. Pardew isn't the most erudite and articulate of speakers but he isn't paid to be and it's just a sad fact of today's life that football club managers need to give constant interviews to satisfy the public's insatiable desire for more and more trivia and gossip.

It's fairly obvious to any reasonably intelligent person what point he was trying to make and this petty sniping from people who would probably also stumble if made to give interviews in the heat of the moment is ridiculous

I doubt The Americans will be bothered or that they even pay attention to after game comments

They care about results. That's where they will make judgements

Obviously SP has been a conduit to inform them during this bad run

But this match by match comment by comment action by action
Commentary on here serves as no more than a pressure valve for disgruntled fans. That what HOL is for. But sometimes people take these kind of interviews too seriously

Honest or not why on earth would you slag your boss off in Public unless you want a row and you normally only do it once, from a position of strength.

The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

Heard he put his middle finger up at Parish followed by a w***er sign.
or was it a Thumbs up and ok sign, whatever sack him anyway.

It seems that many HOL posters like to bandy around clichés from a very limited range with "arrogance" and delusional" being the run away favourites.

What Pardew said was not arrogant in the slightest and your comment about "losing six in a row being OK" is just your interpretation which is miles away from the truth.

It seems that many people aren't happy unless they have something to moan about. We won 3-0 so everyone has to find something else to whinge about

“We have a lot of serious investors at the club who perhaps don’t know a lot about football, so the Chairman has been defending me this week.

“It’s hard to dress up six defeats when you are the owner of a club where you have investors.”

I’ve hardly twisted it have I? Such a bizarre quote is definitely worth comment.

I think most people would see it as staggeringly arrogant. At best it’s undiplomatic and foolish and he can hardly expect our know-nothing owners to be so lenient with him on our next poor run.
