Speaking with a Mag mate last night, he asked if I was sticking a tenner on Newcastle to get relegated.
I said no, there are far worse teams in the prem than them. He then went on to say well if we get beaten off Arsenal then you do us at your place it might get rid of the puppet that is Pardew!
I said and then what? Get another puppet replacement? He didn't have an answer. Pardew imo is doing the best job he can under very difficult circumstances but I'm sure he knew what he was taking on when he accepted the role and will battle on regardless. Can't see him walking like!
Totally agree. I think we both have a terrible 2 fixtures. Win both lose both or draw both for either side, I still don't think we will have any idea where we both stand in terms of how we will fair this season. It's effectively only 1 game, our first games respectively as the derby is like a 1 off. We won't have any form going in to it and even if we did, it counts for nothing in the derby anyway.
