Exactly right, been the same wherever he's been.
If he can survive this poor trot, there's probably a four or five game winning streak around the corner, they've got decent enough players.
Even though he won the JPT with us - the event which I think all Saints fans regard as what kick started the journey which we are still on today - and isn't blamed for failing to get us promoted in his one season with us (due to the points deduction and starting the season with hardly any players), Pardew generally isn't well liked by Saints fans. The size of his ego constantly seemed to get in the way, and he's never really had anything positive to say about us since leaving (sour grapes I suspect). Plus constant rumours of him getting closer than he should have done to some of the wives/girlfriends of our players. Not the most attractive style of football either ("just hoof it up to Lambert and Lallana, guys. In this league, they'll do the rest").
Why do I bring this up? We go to Palace next weekend. Every chance that we could finish him off, which I'm sure a few Saints fans would be happy with.

Thanks for everything Pothas. You'll be missed. My nickname for you was apt and I will never forget it. For the last time, arise Sir Nic.
