Interesting to see that whilst Zola was in hiding, deciding whether or not he wanted the hassle of managing West Ham Disunited, Alan Pardew was winning a Cup at Wembley. OK, it was only the Johnstone Paint Trophy or whatever they now call it, but it was still a Cup! Remember when we used to take Cup competitions seriously and made it all the way to Wembley? Seems so long ago now, after the misery of Turds and Zola!
Pardew has done a brilliant job at Southampton, not only winning that Cup but lifting them to 10th in the old Division 3 despite starting the season with a 15 point penalty. The club has recovered its pride and will be amongst the favourites to win promotion next season.
When he was with us before, Pardew gained success on a shoestring. It is such a shame that we sacked him when money was available to strengthen the squad. You can bet your life he would have spent it better than Curbishley! Green, Reo-Coker, Zamora, Paintsil, Konchesky, Cole, Benayoun, Harewood - they were all bought cheaply by Pards and have either been sold at a handsome profit or will leave this summer for a tasty fee. Does anybody believe we would have lost 6 games on the bounce had Pardew been in charge? Remember, a few dodgy results and one 4-0 hammering at Bolton proved enough for Pardew to be shown the door. Zola, it seems, is going to be allowed more lives than a cat!
I have said it before and will say it again - Pardew is the man we need to recover our dignity!
COYI!

"The bottom line for me, after the hurt of having someone come into West Ham and remove me without even knowing me, is that I wanted to come to work with people I trust and that's one of the big reasons I'm [at Charlton]". Alan pardew.
Would he work for Gold and Sullivan?
same old record make - change your tune - we know Zola has done a bad - perhaps the worst ever job - but once you except that - what else is there?
YOU'RE A ONE TRICK PONY
WE are West Ham's claret & blue army!
Alan Pardew's Claret and Blue Army!
I would have Pardew back without a second thought, I was sad to see him go.
Far from one trick. My first trick, ahead of any other Hammer fan was to "call out" Green, saying he was very far from a complete keeper. My second trick was to big up Cole ahead of 99% of West Ham fans, saying he would win more England caps than Ashton. My next trick was saying Behrami was no great shakes whilst 99% of West Ham fans were calling him a great player. My next trick was to say that Sears was nowt special. My next trick was to say that Ashton would never kick a ball again for the club, whilst Duxbury was telling arse licking blogs how Beano was on his way back. My next trick was to expose the lies of Duxbury. My next trick was to warn about the lack of full back cover and the need for another striker. My next trick was to predict a relegation struggle before the season kicked off. My next trick was to say that Collins would be a huge loss. My next trick was to expose Zola as a tactical numpty whilst 99.99% of West Ham fans were signing in and out with "In Zola we trust." I predicted the sending off in the Hull game and the 2-0 victory to Arsenal (at half time) even though Arsenal were down to 10 men. I also said exactly how Chelsea would score their second goal at half time in that game. Finally, I predicted SIX relegation Cup Finals in our last six home games of the season. Had we won the first 3, that prediction would have been wrong, but I knew that it would be 6, because in Zola we trust!
Stani, it's a bit rich Pardew talking about trust! I think a certain ex player might have something to say about the trustworthyness of Pards!
At the risk of sounding dumb, who's that HF? Mascherano?
Did he shaft Mascherano's wife as well allegedly? I'm not saying he shafted anybody's wife of course! Perish the thought. Free the Pardew One! No, on second thoughts, keep it zipped up!
16:41 wtf you are mental mate - it's been know from day one he was a bit iffy on crosses - you are a complete and utter conceited big head - I can't believe that there are some who can't see through this - If it wasn't for your moaning they'd be nothing left 16:16 is right you are a one trick pony - without moaning there is no substance to you

All hail HF for he is the only true god.... be kneel before thee
Be kneel? Doesn't make sense.
O, I was talking about footy! After signing him, he didn't play Mascherano so I thought that's what you meant.
I seriously didn't know he done a John Terry on someone. You gonna give me some clues?
Really? That's the rumour why he lost the dressing room. I'm not saying anything, as I'm sure it is all untrue. I'm sure he had nothing to do with Fletcher's other half. Utter rubbish if you ask me.
23:25 utter rubbish? you should know....
22:40 you wouldn't get a job a Bletchley Park...... I strongly suspect he meant we - only a guess mind.
I swear I used to wonder why he didn't favour Fletcher (Mr, not Mrs :)) as he always used to do a job for us but found himself benched a lot.
Now I know. Your certainty has left me in no doubt HF, thanks :)
2240 I would have read it like that but he has written it three times with "be". I know he copied and pasted one of those but that still leaves twice that he has typed it. Odd.
Anyway, he deserves to be on his knees before me and, given your suggestion of "we", it seems that you accept the need to be in supplication before me too. So down man, down, and lick the other foot whilst you are about it.
hahahaha you feel for the april fools!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehe
bet they'll love that on the org
