Heh, nice. Pardew sucks. The club never should have fired Hughton. He is a good manager, was popular with the team and fans, produced some great wins and stabilized the situation. Pardew was lucky that Ba and Cisse caught fire like they did last year. Sure he is responsible for them coming in but he couldnt keep Ba and Cisse has be AWFUL this season. Just brutal, he has done nothing.
I cannot believe we are such legitimate contenders to go down again. If we do and lose Krul and other promising younger players I can see us staying down this time.
