Can't wait for the latest masterclass from Pardiola today. Go 1-0 down early on, sit Cabaye in front of the back four, sit back for 60 minutes, bring on Gosling for Cabaye and Shola for Sissoko, struggle to string passes together. Then he brings on Ben Arfa with 10 minutes to go. The players don't move, so he does nothing.
Post-match, Pardew blames the lack of Europa football, the negativity from the stands and the giant orange thing in the sky. Oh well, onwards to QPR....
