I won't say : guess who I just saw, cos I just told you in the headline. :-)

Had to pop into town earlier. For Winchester residents, chapter and verse, exact co-ordinates being - outside FatFace and River Island in the High St ... I look up and to my left walking up is Sir Alan Pardew (well, one day he will be!) I was so shocked I didn't react quickly enough. By the time I'd swivelled on my heels, done a 180, and set off to shake his hand, he was gone. I thought "where would a well-to-do football manager whose team is on the up go?" Thought maybe phone shop to get his SIM unlocked? Nah. Coffee shop? Tried Cafe Nero and Starbucks - not there. Tried Wilds Sports top of town - not there.

He slipped away, readers, but I have to say he looked slim and taller than I thought him to be. Mind you, i usually sit in the Chapel or the Kingsland, so anyone looks small from afar, even Simon Gillett. :-)

 

Anyway, if any of Mr Pardew's "people" read this, I wanted to shake his hand and say "thank you for coming to the club, you - along with Mr Cortese and Mr Leibherr - have brought us a sense of pride in our club again, and we look forward to the next few years with a confidence we haven't had in recent years." I had the speech in my head but couldn't find Mr Pardew to deliver the speech.

 

After my last post, one of you replied "oh what a drama queen!" but this is a drama, sorry - Alan Pardew comes to sleepy ol' Winchester. This is the most exciting event since King Arthur's round table!

Does anyone know if he's moved down South ? I remember when GB was the manager there was a whole thing that went down because he apparently hadn't moved to the area .

Nooo, it's not, nor Fri or Sat, especially around Weatherspoons ... completely mobbed then.

 

Haha, Thursday is the main student night so the only night I ever go into Winch, I'm only a few miles away so it's ideal. Absolutely packed usually. I expect to see Pardew giving it some on the dance floor in the near future.

What the **** was he doing in winchester? The traffic's horrible at the best of times. Surely he could've found what he needed in southampton, saving a half-hour drive?

 

[edit: sorry, just saw the above post... evidently "saint stevo's wife" is the answer to my question.]

My mate's mate was on a charity hitch hike thing to France and he saw Pardew in a petrol station in the early part of his journey and asked him for a lift. Pardew said no.

 

Must have been his older brother Alain Pardieu, an easy mishtake to make.

A man of sound judgement.

Miserable bastard. Pardew out.

Very sad, that any fan should think that a football club manager would want complete strangers coming up to him when he's not at work. And even sadder that anyone should think he has any status to issue 'thanks' on behalf of others. The manager and the players do a job of entertaining us but we don't own them.
