I often think back to the 09/10 season when they had been hammered in a pee-season game (Leyton Orient I think it was) and the players who gave a toss, voiced their concerns and let rip - seemed to galvanise the team. Those who didn't, went on their way and haven't done much since.
It is strange, that not long after arriving, Pardew got rid of each and every one of those players. He replaced them, with more gifted, but arguably less passionate individuals.
John Beck and Bobby Saxton had interesting temperaments!
Remember that, they got beat about 6 or 7-0
Most managers from that era will have had interesting temperaments
