How much of this new found success and optimism is down to Joe Kinnear?

Or is it coincidence that you seem to be much better since he was employed?

It is mighty easy to get distracted in the Shark

 

Wrong I'm afraid fella.
We were 5th under Pardew before so it could be argued it's a rebalance.
We will finish 8th this year which is fair and represents a mid point between the artificial high of 5th... and the artificial low of last year.
Our poor form early on coincided with JFK's arrival and destabilising approach to his 'role'..... he's been back in his box and silent for a couple of months now..... and low and behold... things are looking brighter.

 

I think seeing degenerate Joe sitting with his can of super strength, wallowing in his own piss and sick each day, has really made the lads feel good about themselves.
