If you hear what sounds like a hyena laughing it is in fact the echoes of my reaction to West Bromwich throwing Alan Pardew head-first into a large heap of dung.
Of course, I am an Ungrateful Geordie, who doesn't appreciate The Great Things What Alan Pardew Dun for Noocarsell.
At least according to the London media, who happily now get the chance to put their money where their ignorant, lazy, stupid, bullshitting cockney mouths are, and tout this top, top, top manager for the Arsenal or Chelsea jobs.
But rather than hold my breath waiting for that eventuality, I prefer to enjoy this tribute to Pardew's reign from a West Midlands perspective.
Comment - Alan Pardew destined to go down as one of West Brom's worst ever managers
Not in the article, but something I learned over the weekend, is that West Brom's technical director, the man responsible for Pardew's appointment, is Nicky Hammond. Pardew gave Hammond his first job in coaching. After that, Hammond spent just over three years running Reading's academy, before being the Royals' director of football for 13 or so years.
Yet again, the English old boys network works wonders.
