Its Pardew and Carver

[boingy]

Behind them both, all I want to see is building what Tony Pulis failed to do (forward line and attacking midfield) and NOT any removing of a solid shape at the back. If they do that then I will be happy.

In the words of Carly Simon in regards to Pards....

You walked in to the Hawthorns like you were walking into some s h y t e,

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye,your scarf it was blue and white,

You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself walk by,

And all the players prayed you'd be their best mate, you'd be their best mate.

You're so vain,you probably think this song is about you,don't you,don't you!?


I hear you bussed it to Dunstall Park races and your horse naturally won,

Then you flew by Ryan Air down to Bognor Regis to see the total eclipse of the sun,

You promised Evans and Gauchun Lai Prem survival and no chance of League One,

And all because Pards is super human and doesn't do "squeaky bum"

You're so vain.....

There's some pretty cool depth in among those comical words.....lets hope he embraces the club more than himself.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, but i am already liking what i am hearing. A return to flamboyant football, playing on the front foot, pressurising teams.
He said we will attack and sometimes end up with a bloody nose, this appeals more than anything because it's always been the Albion way.
He reckons he can get the best out of J Rod and Rondon, and i believe he will, these players, most of our players, have been starved of adventurous football for so long, and i think we will see more of the flair players like Burke, Chadli and Field.
Yes he is arrogant, vain and a bit of a loose cannon, but so was Atkinson. Manager's personalities usually reflect on the teams they manage, Pulis was a good example.
Anyway like him or not he is our manager, he wants to get us playing like Albion once again, we should all get behind him and help him toward his quest.
It won't happen overnight though.

You say Pards is loose canon the same as Atkinson the difference with Atkinson is he had some very very good players to choose from a great team in fact the best team I've ever seen down at Albion . Better than the 68 team I don't remember the teams before that
