First of all, i just wanted to say congratulations to Newcastle on their season so far and really salute the whole club for the way they have gone about things this season.
Everyone, including myself, said that Newcastle would fall away at the start and midway through the season but it seems that it was Liverpool that went off the rails.
Newcastle can really play some good football when they allowed too and Pardew did show he knows a thing or two about tactics. As demonstrated with wins against Swansea and Utd.
On the balance of the season as a whole, you guys deserve 4th spot much more than Chelsea or Spurs(who are in free-fall) for that matter.
I for one am cheering you guys on, in the race for 4th
NUFC vs LFC

Good luck to Newcastle.
Except the fans that abused Kenny at the Sports Direct Arena.

Pardew has done an incredible job at the Toon.
To think they've brought in Ben Arfa, Tiote, Cabaye, Ba, Cisse, Obertan & Santon..............................& still had change from the fee that you gave them for Carroll
That's mad.

The gamble that Newcastle took is that most of the players have a reputation of having attitude problems.
Santon, Ben Arfa, Tiote and even Cabaye all have their attitude problems. However Pardew seems to be managing them perfectly by just allowing them to play football.
Either way, he hasnt seemed to put a foot wrong this season
I still think that next season, with expectations now raised, next season will be a true test of how far he has brought the club.

ba and cisse have been two gems for them...

Ba's knees is also another big risk.
But like they, the higher the risk, the higher the return

Thanks guys
I think we'll just miss out on 4th but it's not impossible. It's not impossible though with Chelsea's fixture pile up, Tottenham's collapse and our momentum. Still think Spurs have it in their hands though
