.....bit of a chippy [Poor language removed] isn't he?
Alan Pardew: "It's obvious from the start of the season that Everton have picked up where they left off last year.
"They beat us comfortably at the back end of last year. It's a tough game for us, and I think it's going to be for everybody at Goodison, as Manchester United found out. We have got a lot to do there.
"They have got considerable assets in terms of defending and attacking. They have got some nice options and it makes it very difficult to unravel that and get yourselves a victory. But that's what we will attempt to do."
"David Moyes has had his fair quota of money - I know he moans about it, but I think he's had his share. But he spends it well and they have got great players.
"David Moyes is a fantastic manager, and he is proving that. Stability is the key there and that's why they do so well as a club.
"They have a great manager and they keep faith in him."
I thinks he sees Moyes as his direct competition when it comes to the rating of managers. Let's face it - if Pardew was under pressure then Moyes would be one of the first names touted to replace him. While he praises him, there's a little dig in there also!
