no way dude, we played some of their rock bottom teams last few years and they still made us look stupid.
They had the decent player in that though (Ki, Borini, whoever). They're a paceless, organised outfit interested in nothing more than a 1 nil this time out - even someone as s*** as Pardew can't contrive to f*** this up as badly again, thankfully he's free (Gouffran aside) of options to go to his grafters and passionistas this time out too.
It'll be a horrible game but 99.5% of me thinks it can't be worst than last year and if it is...
Still got this horrible thought in the back of my mind that Adam Johnson will play a blinder.
