I find posts like this a bit sad to be honest. Everyone seems to forget our revival under Pardew when he first arrived. That revival lasted a whole year, following that we got to a cup final. That's two comfortable Premier League survivals and an FA Cup final in two seasons. "Totally clueless" is clearly a misrepresentation of the truth, he royally messed up this season (and I wanted him gone) but he clearly has it in him to be a decent PL manager and win games at this level. Sam has come in and done fantastically well, but AP did the same and we shouldn't forget that. He guided us to back-to-back survivals, which no-one else has done. Who knows how we'll feel about Sam in 2 years' time? I'm glad he's gone but the abuse he now gets is sad. Don't be sad,be "glad all over" that he was fired.Had he remained in charge much longer,there would have been no way back, many would no doubt agree. As regards two comfortable survivals, suggest you check your facts as Super Al took us from 5th in the table at Xmas 2015 to 15th and we had the worst performance in that final part of the season than any team in the Western Hemisphere and only narrowly survived because there were some poorly performing sides below us and in all fairness,up until Xmas, we did have the benefit of points on the board.

He did brilliantly keeping us up and had Boro employed him instead of Gibson, they would have had more of a chance of staying up. Thankfully they didn't as it would (could) have been more pressure on Palace. I'm sure that he did his best of us, it's just that he wasn't good enough. I have no hard feeling toward him.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

I think he would have destroyed their defence and insisted that they break their backs to service their super new top-drawer striker. Bumfluff.
