Its no good crying about it. You all got on Mike's case about our great leader Pards, so he has brought in the help. Fair enough that help is a drunken old looney with a dodgy ticker, but you were all bandying around different names, he clearly felt it had to be someone who hadn't been mentioned to keep the peace and ensure there was no favouritism.
I don't know, he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.
Pardew might do the only decent thing left open to him and charge into the cafe, strapped with an explosive device screaming 'PARDS AKBAR' while Joe is eating his fourth kebab and blows the place to bits. The man would become a hero, maybe even get a statue outside SJP for his heroic act.
