Don't you just LOVE football - Haway the lads . . .

No. New back room staff in. Training regime altered to prevent needless injuries of which there were plenty under Pardew. Three new decent signings.
He's not a miracle worker. (Although he'll soon need to be if things don't improve.) Lots to fix. 14or so games left. We'd be adrift at the bottom now if Pardew hadn't gone.

I mean I'd consider his record as a bit poo so far but you watch them more than me so fair enough. 2 home defeats against relegation rivals especially.

His results are not great so far but I'm cutting him some slack because he has had to start from rock bottom. The last few games under Pardew were shambolic.
We certainly deserved to lose on Saturday. The match stats are interesting though. Palace had more possession, shots, shots on target and corners than Sunderland and, aside from a mental five minutes, competed equally.
Like most things in football, it was neither as spectacular or horrific as reported. Just bad.

Did a wee check before, 3-0 home win over Southampton and a narrow 0-1 defeat to Chelsea in last 2 games. But then that was following a run of 6 straight defeats.

Drew at Hull after Southampton and lost to Man U before Chelsea, which was Pardews last game.

You are correct. I cannot read.

Still, not too bad.
