One of the guys I work with is a PNE season ticket holder, he had some interesting comments this morning after Saturdays debacle.
1. The difference between the Alan Pardew at Reading and the one at West Ham, apparantly he was slouching against the dugout arms folded and occasionally bringing out a piece of paper on which he'd make a surreptitious note in contrast to his time at Reading where he was up and down the touchline screaming.
2. Our defence was woeful with Anton Ferdinand singled out as being clearly not up to the job and looking more like a second division 'clogger'.
3. NRC was far and away our best player and scared the ******** out of them whenever he got the ball, he couldn't understand why AP didn't start with him.
Interesting perspective from an opposition fan, must admit its the Pardew comments that worry me most - I seem to remember another Manager who used to stand on the touchline with his arms folded!!
