Peter Crouch causes a world of pain. Can’t see Alan Pardew surviving this. His side have stopped responding to him. Newcastle have yet to win this season and are 19th in the table with only Burnley sparing them the blushes. Their last 25 matches under Pardew: Won 5, lost 16, and drawn 4.

That and Newcastle in Mike Ashley, have the definitive worst owner. Not much better, their loan shark jersey sponsors who are in hot water over a fake legal letters scandal.

The result is more ammo for the Sack Pardew fans.
