Made in Southampton Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Very abrupt interview and has apparently left the stadium with a face like thunder.
Toadhall Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I am worried, very worried explain please.
offix Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 both the interview and the very hurried departure from the stadium suggests serious discontent. If it wasn't about the game, the it almost has to be about his position
Made in Southampton Posted 27 February, 2010 Author Posted 27 February, 2010 Keep hearing that comments have been made by the chairman but I don't know what.
St Landrew Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 For those wishing to hear, the interview is going to be repeated, before 6pm, I understand.
Toadhall Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 both the interview and the very hurried departure from the stadium suggests serious discontent. If it wasn't about the game, the it almost has to be about his position In your mind.
offix Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 In your mind. Yes, that why my post said that I was worried!
Ewell Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Yes, that why my post said that I was worried! Yes that really is ALL your second post said!
Toadhall Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Yes, that why my post said that I was worried!\ Good oh - I must have missed it. Don't lose too much sleep will you. Should I call some kind of help line for you?
Made in Southampton Posted 27 February, 2010 Author Posted 27 February, 2010 This is all good stuff bickering over what people's post read, but does anyone know what AP's beef is?
Master Bates Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 does anyone know what AP's beef is? Medium rare I think.
Made in Southampton Posted 27 February, 2010 Author Posted 27 February, 2010 Just listened to the interview again. Sounds like he's got a problem with the media due to the negetive press. IMO....
JibMcdo Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Don't think it was that bad. Just think AP was annoyed about some of the questioning and decided to hold back at the end of the interview.
Psycrow Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 He was rude Jonny, you're right. A very odd interview all in all. Especially his big thank you to the fans at the end?
SaintNeil90 Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I dont see any problems at all. The interviewer asked some stupid questions about putting things right etc and people complaining which ****ed Pardew off because we done very well this season. Not really suprised. He started the interview perfectly fine.
channonball Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 It wasn't that bad. Don't know what the fuss is about. Perhaps he was a bit short, but I wouldn't say he was rude.
niceandfriendly Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Nothing major at all. AP just wasn't in a talkative mood. He's clearly happy with the win, but probably a little annoyed at the criticism from certain morons - some of them on this board. His reaction at full time showed that he was a happy bunny, walking towards the Northam to celebrate. Mountain out of a mole hill.
Secret Site Agent Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Toothache? Pressure at the back of the neck leading to head ache? A nagging,itching burning sensation in his genitals? Unfortunatly we will never know, we can only summise and without seeing him, I would find it hard to comment. The above are just as valid as works pressure or warning from NC. So Offix, please don't worry. Rest your weary head and, as Malcolm Gladwell said, do not try and mind read.
SaintIT Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Just heard the second play of the interview on Solent. I think that the key is where he says "... if people want to be negative .... " when the interviewer wasn't. He was being very positive. So someone else is being negative about that game...
Wurzel Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I heard it live in the car. Seemed like he just got bored with the style of the questions . They did sound a bit like the sort questions a yts trainee would have asked on his first radio job .
St Landrew Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I heard it live in the car. Seemed like he just got bored with the style of the questions . They did sound a bit like the sort questions a yts trainee would have asked on his first radio job . Must admit, it didn't sound quite so bad, second time around. But then I was prepared that time. It still doesn't take away the shock that a manager ought to be estatic after a result like that. Maybe AP is keeping his powder dry until after Huddersfield Town on Tuesday. I certainly hope so.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Don't think it was that bad. Just think AP was annoyed about some of the questioning and decided to hold back at the end of the interview. Agreed. It was as if Glasgow was interviewing him!!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I heard it live in the car. Seemed like he just got bored with the style of the questions . They did sound a bit like the sort questions a yts trainee would have asked on his first radio job . Yup, and looking back at the interviews I have heard this season he has always seemed honest and positive. The man sounded guarded to me. What would make him guarded? Possibly negative comments from people on here, in the press? Yes, he's always going to get it but what do people realistically expect from Saints this season? Bearing in mind that AP came to us late in the preparations for the season. Maybe some players he had his eye on had already moved on? We'll probably never know. To me AP and the team have done well this season so far. From what I see, hear and read it all bodes well for a good season next time. Let's judge him at the 18 month stage when we can really see what is happening.
iansums Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 He's been reading Alpine and Glasgow's posts. My advice to AP is to put them on ignore.
Aardvark Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 he's got a sinus infection. That can be awful - I've got that permanently, what with the wife saying, " Sinus a cheque for this and sinus a cheque for that........" very debilitating!
Nutwood2 Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Sounded like Solent were 'stirring' big time. Remarks such as, 'The crowd were even calling your name, Alan' are obviously designed to provoke a reaction and, when he didn't really 'bite' on any of the questions, they 'turn it round' and make out he's got the hump. Can't win can he. As for 'Good old Uncle Dave', he's a tricky as ever. Very magnanimous today wasn't he. What a surprise! Still thinks he could do a better job than any of them!
ericofarabia Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I thought he was actually quite funny in the interview. As for leaving the ground with a face like thunder, that could be down to something personal or family related. At least John Terry has an alibi for this afternoon
Saint Fan CaM Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I heard it and before the interview ended I said to the Mrs that I thought the interviewer sounded very amatuerish and negative. I dare say AP was reacting to what was a totally banal set of questions that it seemed nobody had given any proper thought to. Here is a manager who has just gained 7 from 9 possible points and two away games, has masterminded a 5-1 thrashing of a team with play-off place hopes and he gets a complete no-mark asking him stupid questions. Would try the patience of ...err... well, a Saint.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Loads of theories, he could have been taped up by a CCC club and NC but the brakes on ?? He definately has history for this. He could have had a spat with NC, AP is certainly very very very egotistical and so after this impressive win NC could have made a snide remark about tuesday ?? Also i have it on good authority that he reads the fans forums, he used to read them at his time at reading, he apparantly found out the name of a poster that kept posting his tactics and likely line ups that he saw at the training ground and got that poster banned. Or he could have this flu thats going around ?? We will probably never know, and tbh i can't see him leaving.
ericofarabia Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Maybe he was doing a Wee Gordon Strachan impersonation ... but he needs to brush up on his Scots accent a bit to really pull it off

Would try the patience of ...err... well, a Saint. The interviewer has done his job on many occasions, and conducted plenty of fine post match interviews with AP. What he couldn't do was hide his reaction to a very downbeat manager whose team had just won 5-1, that's all. In the end, he was struggling to get any response out of AP.
Sheff Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I was a bit worried. The questions didn't seem to bad. He did sound like he was trying to prove a point to someone, he reeled off some recent stats, talking about it's results that count... He normally comes across very well in interview, IMO. I feel 2+2 does equal 4. I just hope it isn't NC being too harsh. For all the cynics on here i think AP is doing a pretty good job and i really don;t want us turning into a soap opera. Again. Surely we've learnt something from the last 10 years. Let's just hope it was AP keeping a lid on things until after Tuesday. Great win and performance today, well done the boys!
brmbrm Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I thought it was just a reaction to press criticism, but heard he drove out of SMS at 5:15, which sort of knocks that theory on the head. Some internals then.....
John Smith Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 The interviewer 'kept' asking leading questions and trying to see if AP had an under current of misgivings about Tuesdays difficult draw ona shoddy pitch. Ap rose above it again and again and then ran out of patience with the bell-end and just gave yes no answers out of disrespect for the plumb asking them. If you ask me, if he did leave with his 'face of thunder', was probably being wound up by a d*ck of an interviewer, WGS would have chewed him up and spit him out, he was a noob!
sidthesquid Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 More worrying were the comments that he was seen leaving at 5.15 with a face like thunder
The boy done well Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Would suspect that Cortese's been leaning on him after that performance at Wycombe. Today's performance was AP's response. I heard the interview too and didn't think there was anything particularly unusual about the questions Adam Blackmore raised. AP sounded pretty angry but made it clear it wasn't with the fans who he praised more than once.
Fan The Flames Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Internal problem or forum over reaction. Over reaction I reckon.
niceandfriendly Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 More worrying were the comments that he was seen leaving at 5.15 with a face like thunder Not really. Maybe he has a family issue? Anything could have happened - just see his reaction at full time to see how pleased he was.
Rocker268 Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 At least John Terry has an alibi for this afternoon But what about Tiger Woods?
darren Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Someone said on the echo site that he had a run in with hutching in the tunnel
hutch Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Nothing wrong with his "Gaffer ecstatic" report on the OS. Mountains & molehills.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 But what about Tiger Woods? Now that he's been sacked by Gatorade he only has enough energy for a couple of quickies near to home.
Viking Warrior Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 I heard the interview twice. I think blackmore was very amateurish with his line of questions. AP did sound a little downbeat but was saying the right things even stated how good the fans were today. When Blackmore asked lee barnard questions he again was probing what the dressing room was like. Stupid sort of question when the team had just won and barnard had scored twice. I suspect solent are trying to conjur up a non story re AP and NC maybe to find a distraction from the real crap down the road. I was more annoyed that Blackmore was talking up the skates after their win. tosser
Matthew Le God Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 (edited) Video of the Radio Solent interview is now on Saints Player. A lot more telling seeing it rather than just hearing it on radio. I think he was just annoyed with the usual pointless questions. They only have obvious answers and must bore Pardew each week talking to Radio Solent. Edited 27 February, 2010 by Matthew Le God
Psycrow Posted 27 February, 2010 Posted 27 February, 2010 Nothing wrong with his "Gaffer ecstatic" report on the OS. Mountains & molehills. That's just a rehash of chosen words from the same interview
