So unimpressed with Arsenal\u2019s tactics, he suggested that if they do go onto win the title, they will have an asterisk next to their name.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018At the moment, it looks like Arsenal are going to see it through,\u2019 Pardew said. \u2018There\u2019ll be an asterisk next to their name because you\u2019ve only got to look at them really in these type of performances and say, it\u2019s just a functional display.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a professional, functional display. They\u2019re good, they\u2019re strong, they\u2019re powerful. But there is nothing beautiful about them. That\u2019s the truth.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Woods was on duty for TNT Sports\u2019 live coverage of Arsenal\u2019s win but later in the night, called into the talkSPORT studios during The Sports Bar with Jamie O\u2019Hara and Jason Cundy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\" data-ico=\"factbox_article\" data-track-module=\"factbox_article\">\n<h2 class=\"factbox-title\">\n\t\t\t\tYour football fix\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div class=\"factbox-content\">\n<p><strong>Metro<\/strong>&#8216;s Head of Sport James Goldman delivers punchy analysis, transfer talk and his take on the week&#8217;s biggest stories direct to your inbox every week.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up here, it&#8217;s an open goal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After the pair confirmed it was indeed Pardew who had aimed that dig at Arsenal, Woods let rip.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"594\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-2215579339.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-27243210\" alt=\"Crystal Palace FC v Wolverhampton Wanderers FC - Premier League\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Woods didn\u2019t take kindly to Pardew\u2019s comments on Wednesday (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018Honestly \u2013 Alan, I love you, but that is the most disrespectful thing I\u2019ve ever heard,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How can you say that?
