Fat heads dodgy past goes a lot deeper than the telegraph "sting, but he will keep us up so we can gloss over that. Pardew had a s*** run, FA cup final aside, but likes a bit of skirt so is the devil incarnate. BALANCE boys and girls. Happy christmas.

I was giving my reason as to why I'm against his appointment, and it has nothing to do with whether he's successful or not.

Never - nor have I suggested it.

But, he doesn't match to your ethical standards.

I don't think 'Big Sam' is a particularly good coach can organise and hoof long balls forward but nothing special.

The defence was well organised against Chelsea ok they lost 1-0 but in that form you would have expected a heavier defeat, also Palace goal difference is -4 thats reasonable quite a gap already over the bottom 3.

So will Alladyce inherit an improving situation and Pards lose out? Cruel game football...

I have to say he won't be setting an example fitness wise he is a slob.

In my opinion football in general is corrupt. Yes BFS did not come across as the sharpest tool in the box when he got hooked by that set up.

I am in general pleased with his appointment. He will get us organised and hopefully difficult to beat. Let's be honest we need points on the board and quickly to pull us away from this relegation battle we find ourselves in. He will get our team fitter and will demand concentration and organisation, something we have been severely lacking all season.

As much as I would have loved to see Pardew succeed it was clear to all that something was very wrong with his game plans, substitutions and general understanding of how to see a game through.

Curly eagles dad, 45 years of Palace. Never ever a dull moment, Oh Happy Days
