Flawless comparison there
My point is why would you chose to play the better side? Surely you would take the weaker team every day? Cup upsets happen, yes, but not as much as people make out.
They chant about Newcastle all the time. Cheer up Alan Shearer is one of their biggest chants. I say fuck them, this is the first time in years we have beat them and I'm glad our fans rubbed it in.
To be fair that video was uploaded in November. Might be a case of the year going fast in my head, but the bonus sheet stuff wasn't that long ago was it?
Pardew's true test comes now. Ba has been our best player and Tiote has been important too. It is up to Pardew to make this team get results without both in the coming weeks. QPR at home is a game we should be winning for a start and Pardew simply has to get it right. The same tactics will not work without Ba up there.
