If you stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and shout "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" over and over, then perhaps it'll all go away.
Perhaps.
That's the plan.
Seriously though, I don't need stats to tell me how we're doing on the pitch. It's pretty obvious to everyone that we've been well below par and some issues really need to be addressed (set pieces, formations and all that). But I'm not convinced for one second that Pardew's long term plan is the long ball game (it's the same argument over and over again really).
