how do the Chronicle know that?
If only Pardew knew how much he was loathed, the bright lights of London would be so much more appealing. Palace fans haven't had a fair crack at hating him yet.
No one ever seems to drive it low across the face of goal when they get in round defences. Always wafted efforts (to our non-existent Bierhoff/Ferdinand/Klose front three) or side-footed balls which are easily dealt with.
We're really not well suited to crossing atm. Don't know why we persist with it. By all means get round the fullbacks but Cisse isn't getting the beating of anyone in the air.
