Depresses me when I hear other teams' managers going on about how they want to entertain the fans first and foremost. Pallegrini and Koeman have both said it recently.. It's not even remotely in Pardew's consideration let alone "first and foremost".
What an absolute load of shite.
Funny/depressing thing is we played barely any different to our previous 6 games today, but the media/non Newcastle fans won't see that.
He's fucking wank. Been shot for over a year. Knew he'd be back in the team after his 2/10 performance last week.
He played well last week.
He's been shit as usual today, though.
Quite looking forward to him being available. Hopefully he doesn't come back to a rotten environment in the middle of an inevitable losing streak so that he can integrate himself gradually under little pressure.
Didn't look particularly fat when he was getting ready to come on. Looked more like he'd been spending too much time on the weights (for a footballer).
