no way ken curbs finally been found out he was lucky at charlton and is struggling at west ham i've the feeling pardews gonna turn it around any season now ....watch this space
The man who kept them up was not Curbs but Tevez nolly. No doubt about that in my mind at all and this week has been very amusing to see them getting tonked 4-0, 4-0, 4-0! Must be the 40 point thing kicking in I reckon.
but they had tevez since the start of the season though,so that doesn't make any sense.i guess what you are actually saying is that cubishley could get the best from his players than pardew.

no threadkiller tevez hadn't settled when pardew was in charge and it was pure coincidence that curbs was in charge when tevez found his best form... remember it's the latter part of the season where pardews sides do well except last season that was a one off for both curbs and pardew
[cite]Posted By: Weegie Addick[/cite]What's your view on Curbs, Mortain? (Apologies if you've posted it before and I missed it)
I posted a comment in the curbs watch thread last week.
Since then he's gone down a bit more in my opinions of him with his recent comments.
The pick of them being along the lines of our priority has to be to keep a clean sheet.
After 3 games without scoring (or even looking like scoring), I want us to come out attacking (best form of defense). If we lose 4-3 every game so be it, we're safe now I'd like to see us through caution to the wind, not sit back and defend and allow teams with quality upfront attack us.
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]Morts mate, who would you rather have as manager at the moment Curbs or Pards? Why?
and
Is our season reflecting your season down here from your view from afar?
As much as I dislike his current style of play, curbishley all day long mate.
I'm not in the growing "curbishley out" bracket (yet anyway), and he is seriously testing my patience, but he has done a good job for us, past fortnight apart.
Pardew for me is, and always has been, far too smug and up his own arse.
He gave us 1 cracking season, getting us to the fa cup final i'll never forget, but the football we played under him for the other seasons were awful.
From what I've picked up on your season, its panning our very similar to what we experienced under pardew.
The first season we were relegated was enjoyable, well besides mothers day that year & the play off final.
The second season was really worrying. I honestly think we got promoted by luck more than judgement.
