Saying we've had a bad season is understating things somewhat IMO, we've been horrific. We're really no better than Sunderland and look at them, how many of their players would you actually want? We have no strengths, we've let in shitloads of goals and have lacked cohesion or a recognizable plan in attack all season, and on top of that we seem to lack fight, something you'd think we would have given Pardew's strength is supposed to be man management.
Personally i've never been sold on him, he wasn't qualified for the job in the first place and I think if we stick with him because of that inexplicable 5th place finish(which is an anomaly when you look at his career) then next season will be a write off.
