Fair question, that. I expect a narrow defeat and would be hugely pleased with a draw. Wouldn't have expected any better under Hughton given our relative trajectories since our last meeting.
I'm giving Pardew a chance personally, but I do think he's a bit of twat and it'll take a while until I'm convinced, if at all. I'm just delighted we're on 28 points. The job's not done, but surely we can't fuck it up from here (touch wood, soz to jinx, etc). To an extent, it's next season I'm more worried about now.
I echo these sentiments.
