Burnley WBA Fulham and Sheffield United have started like us in the Pardew-Carver season and McClaren relegation season. Feels like it's been a while since everyone at the bottom went so long winless. Didn't it just use to be us and Sunlun?
I make this point too much I know, but I reckon he'll be irritated he hasn't got a new longer deal yet. As Ashley's yes man I bet he expected a Pardew style deal once he showed he could keep us in the league relatively cheaply.
I know its probably the wrong opinion, but there's a big part of me that always thinks Busquets was just carried by Xavi and Iniesta and has been found out now they're gone.
