before that run of 3 games, i said i'd be happy with a point, albeit i expected it to come from chelsea...although i'm happy with a point, i'm devostated at the injuries....main reason we're doing so well is our solid back line and they're both out, it's a killer and it's made the next run of games more daunting and less 'winnable' imo
as you say, massive test for Pardew...be interesting to see next weeks line-up.
big test for the players as well, played excellent all season high on confidence...thats took a knock now so hope they keep their heads up
