Never once blamed Pardew though, what he actually said was, and I quote "Alan Pardew will be having very strong words with his team after that, theres not a chance Alan set them up to play that way"
Just once I'd like to see a pundit on TV with big enough balls to blame the manager, they all seem to have each others backs.
I can understand the players being at fault for one or two games of a season, maybe a bad run but not a continual nose dive down the lague. Including last season we have now plummeted to the bottom of the league with the same awful form. That to me is down to the manager, it has progressed for months on end. The Cabaye sale has nothing to do with the back 4/5 incluidng the keeper.
Do pundits and guests not look at the league table or do research before going on air.
