I think we need some perspective. There are some miserable ****s on this forum and that is the reason I hardly ever post. I'm disappointed at the result and that we keep on gicing leads away and I think Pardew makes some odd decision (I actually can't remember a manager who doesn't).
I'd love to see us storm the league this season, but I think I'm well adjusted enough to realise that this is a rebuilding season. If it is this time next year and we still have the same problems, fair enough, lets have a proper moan, but until then how about getting behind the team and getting a grip on reality.
