When asked by the Shields Gazette’s Miles Starforth if it was “too early to be talking about the club being involved in a relegation scrap,” the Silver Supremo responded:
“Well, we are now, and no, it’s not too early. We can’t bury our head in the sand, and we have to get wins to get out of it.”
After that gloomy initial prognosis however, he then continued on a more optimistic note, adding:
“Actually, I’m so buoyed by the performance [the Stoke City defeat], and by the fact that the things we have changed, the things we’ve done, have definitely helped the team. The team have responded to them. Hopefully, we can take that forward.”
But what do YOU think? Do you think we are on the rocky road which leads to to the Championship? Or are we poised to rise like a Phoenix in our next few games, making all such talk about relegation seem silly in hindsight?

Worky: what I did notice in the last few press conferences was that Pardew was looking stressed and old.
That is not a good thing if he wants to be shagging some of players’ girlfriends as the players are probably considerably richer than him.
