I despise that argument. Similar argument to when a player leaves a club he has no affiliation with to get more money at another club he has no affiliation with. Stupid argument made by stupid people.
As for Pardew, he got incredibly lucky last night. Surprised we managed to win considering we didn't have Gouffran's excellent defensive effort or Mike Williamson's set penis routine. It was almost as if they did the opposite of what Pardew told them to do.
