A measured and fair assessment of his abilities and qualities as a manager. And no mention of his various outrageous sideline cuntery.
Pards is truly the king.
Made Dick Advocaat look withered, shrivelled and useless today.

Dick is a spoofer. Dutch should and could have won 94 WC with the players they had.

[SIZE=6]Alan Pardew deserves credit, and not just for revival at Crystal Palace[/SIZE]

[SIZE=6]Managerâs success in south London is a remarkable turnaround from last autumn, when abuse lashed down on him at Newcastle week after week[/SIZE]
So, Alan Pardew must be reflecting after the 4-1 thumping of Sunderland, this is what it feels like to be accepted. Loved, even. Your fans worshipping you with sun-kissed oratorios. Your players swallowing your percolation of managerial nous and management speak. And your team soaring up the league, from the relegation zone to the outskirts of the top 10. âOur fans were singing âItâs like watching Brazilâ, and it was,â proclaimed Pardew in the giddy aftermath of Crystal Palaceâs fourth straight Premier League victory. And, for once, few were rolling their eyes when he strayed deep into Partridge territory.
Maybe it is time we all appreciated Pardew a little more, especially after his remarkable season. There is a graphic whizzing around the internet that bluntly illustrates his impact. When you tally up Pardewâs points at Newcastle and Palace it comes to 51 from 31 games â good enough for eighth. Without Pardew at the control deck, the Magpies and Eagles nose-dived, gaining only 26 points from 31 games â relegation form. No wonder Pardew is second favourite, behind JosĂ© Mourinho, to be named manager of the year.
It is a remarkable turnaround from last autumn when Newcastle stumbled out of the blocks and abuse lashed down at Pardew, week after week, game after game. During that dark period he could have taught Marcus Aurelius a thing or two about stoicism.
But, as I wrote at the time, the situation at St Jamesâ Park was ânot so black and whiteâ. Pardew had lost his two best players, LoĂŻc RĂ©my and Yohan Cabaye, and also suffered bad luck during games. âHe might yet turn things round,â I argued. Unsurprisingly, I was hammered by the clubâs fans.
Since taking charge at Palace, Pardew has won eight of 12 Premier League games, drawing one and losing three â pretty much Champions League form â and turned Glenn Murray, Jason Puncheon, Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie into the sharpest attacking quartet outside the top six. Unsurprisingly they also pass the ball more, and with greater accuracy, than they did when Neil Warnock was in charge.
And, as the analytics expert James Grayson points out, when you look at the underlying numbers, Newcastle and Crystal Palace have also been much better at generating and suppressing shots under Pardewâs management this season.
There is a caveat. Palace have probably been lucky, too. According to Graysonâs figures, since Pardew joined they have scored a huge proportion of their shots on target. While the league average is 30%, and Manchester Cityâs multimillion-pound strike-force are the only team to have bettered 38% over one of the past two seasons, Palaceâs current rate is 49%. Could this be down to some magical Pardew effect?
Probably not. Newcastleâs percentage of shots leading to goals was 25% in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons when Pardew was manager. So Palaceâs rate of nearly two goals a game since the turn of the year is surely unsustainable.
But even if their form does dip, it is hard to imagine Pardew returning to the near-permanent rictus stare of his St Jamesâ Park days. He looks happy again. Happier in fact, than at any point since he was in charge of Reading a decade or so ago when he was seen as a highly progressive and promising manager.
I vividly remember the day in the spring of 2003 when he decided to allow reporters into the dressing room for the first time after their victory against Palace. It was a scene that was part Tony Robbins, part The Day Today. The walls were crammed with motivational slogans and football stats while naked, shower-ready bodies buffed up against reportersâ dictaphones. âSpeak to whomever you like,â Pardew insisted. âYou want an instant reaction. Weâre giving it to you.â The experiment didnât last long: open-door policies are the stuff of American sports not English football, but it made a statement that Pardew wanted to do things differently.
Since then Pardew perhaps hasnât lived up to his, or othersâ, expectations. He got West Ham promoted, took them to the FA Cup final and ninth in the Premier League ⊠and was sacked six months later. He never got much from Javier Mascherano or Carlos Tevez and was hugely criticised for promoting a âbaby Bentleyâ culture. The fact he drove a Ferrari added fuel to the whispers that he was brash and arrogant.
His spells at Charlton and Southampton also ended miserably, though in mitigation both clubs had financial difficulties. When he arrived at Newcastle he admitted âI donât think Iâm going to win any PR battles hereâ and proved as good as his word, despite finishing fifth.
He has few advocates in the media, or elsewhere, but in terms of win percentage in the Premier League, Pardewâs record of 37.8% is superior to many managers with better reputations, including Harry Redknapp, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce and Tony Pulis. When you look at managers who have managed at least 100 Premier League games only four Englishmen â Roy Evans, Bobby Robson, Kevin Keegan and, er, John Gregory â have a better win percentage.
Perhaps, therefore, it is time for a modest reappraisal. Especially now that Pardew â whose managerial career has so often had the movement of a giant see-saw, with brief and exhilarating highs followed by plunging lows â now finally seems to be on an even keel.
Pards is a cunt. Palace will go down next year
What a vindication this is for us Pardew supporters 
Pardâs is the king.

[QUOTE=âmyboyblue, post: 501065, member: 180â]Ah triffic stuff going on in here of late
Pardew is due to be confirmed Newcastle manager in next 24 hours. The very same man who left Carlitos Tevez and Javier Mascherano on the bench as West Ham teetered on the brink of relegation. A wonderful match, I look forward to them going to pieces.[/QUOTE]
This is worse than the time you tried to latch onto the Suarez Club. You donât have the stomach to make a stand alone, you are the consumate sheep.
Thatâs a monumental clamping.
I saw how Pardew overhauled himself following his difficult time at West Ham, an odious club I might add, and grew to love the man dearly as my posts have shown.
I have you well rattled once again today, the same as yesterday. Youâre an easy instrument to play, very like Totti actually, something else you have in common with him.

Listen, this is @The Big Cheeseâs baby. He was here from the start through thick and thin, he takes the plaudits, you merely jump on a success story when it has taken off and will be the first to jump off if things go pear shaped.
The only one rattled here is you with your gulping, keep-a-brave-face posts.
