'Liverpool humiliated us 9-0 but we got our own back, and I was away with the fairies when we nearly beat Manchester United' Alan Pardew on his strange place in Crystal Palace folklore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just 16 men have represented a club in an FA Cup final as a player and then later gone on to lead them to the final again as a manager. Alan Pardew is one of them. Pardew earned his place in Crystal Palace folklore in 1990, when his goal in extra time helped the Eagles claim a sensational 4-3 semi-final victory over Liverpool in one of the competition's greatest ever games. The final proved to be nearly as dramatic as Manchester United came from behind in extra time to force a 3-3 draw that took
"I’m certainly not proud of it - headbutting David Meyler cost me financially and professionally" Alan Pardew on his embarrassing Newcastle United moment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alan Pardew remains baffled as to what he was thinking when he went head-to-head with David Meyler...quite literally. The incident occurred back on March 1, 2014, with Pardew's Newcastle United 3-1 up away to Hull City. The ball went out for a throw-in in front of the Newcastle dugout and directly into Pardew's path. As Pardew claimed the throw-in for his side, Meyler pushed him out of the way, prompting Pardew to walk slowly over to Meyler and stick his head into the Hull man's face. Being a Sa
"Joey Barton told me nobody wanted me there, Newcastle fans didn’t appreciate me, and the local media didn’t help - it led to a toxic atmosphere" Alan Pardew feels hard done by over Newcastle United spell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew still feels he was a bit hard done by during his spell at St James' Park. Pardew came in as the successor to the highly-popular Chris Hughton in December 2010, just a few months after Hughton he had led Newcastle to promotion back out of the Championship. A fifth-place finish in Pardew's first full season in charge only briefly quelled the doubters, with Newcastle finishing 16th and 10th before Pardew was finally dismissed in December 2014. Pardew believe
"I wish I'd met Eddie Howe when I was younger. His sessions were unbelievable" – Jonjo Shelvey rates recent Newcastle United managers from Rafa Benitez to Steve Bruce (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jonjo Shelvey saw plenty of ups and downs during his time on Tyneside, putting him in a better position than most to offer a verdict on how some of their managers over the past decade took to the job. Shelvey spent seven years at Newcastle United, arriving in the final weeks of Steve McClaren's reign and leaving just over a year after Eddie Howe made the move to St James' Park. In the interim, Newcastle were relegated despite Rafa Benitez's best efforts, bounced back into the Premier League, the
"Jermain Defoe and David James made it clear they didn’t want to be there - so I recruited hungry youngsters instead" Alan Pardew reflects on three finals in three years at West Ham (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alan Pardew admits that things got off to a rocky start at West Ham United - but ultimately left the club with few regrets by the time he was done there. The former Hammers boss took the reins in October 2003 following Glenn Roeder's dismissal a couple of months earlier. Pardew's departure from Reading proved to be lengthy and acrimonious before he got to East London, however, with the Royals unwilling to allow their manager to leave to take the West Ham job. Pardew told FourFourTwo: "I was put
