ORIGINAL: Flatulent_Bob So, this loyalty you were on about? quote:
2. I'm not denying Pardew was no-one's first choice but everyone was supportive of him regardless and got behind him from his first game onwards. He was never once booed or jeered by anyone. People ranting about him on the internet do not represent the majority of fans. I'm not sure why I should be red-faced about something I wrote weeks ago (which I still stand by anyway - at no point did I say all fans were loyal, I said most were) but what the hell. Also, It's interesting that you chose to dredge up an old debate after this weekend rather than a fortnight ago when several thousand fans made the long journey to Brighton for a riduclously early kick-off, witnessed the worst performance of the season, got knocked out of the FA Cup, and still applauded the team off the pitch... And don't believe everything you read in the papers - there was a bit of booing in reaction to three terrible substitutions on saturday but nothing as 'poisonous' as the press (and Pardew) are making out. I'm not denying there will have been a few singling him out for further abuse but they ceratinly weren't loud enough to stand out and it wasn't even close to coming from the majority. The old debate was about two weeks ago. I didn't realise your idea of loyalty was over sure a short timescale, but it explains your opinion and one I can now totally agree with. Fans are loyal for about a fortnight.
