Alan Pardew Team Of The Month Named

While the Alan Pardew manager of the month award must surely be a no-brainer, the Newcastle manager has chosen instead to deflect much of the praise elsewhere.

Pardew’s men picked up 12 points via 4 straight wins over Chelsea, Spurs, Norwich and West Brom.

While the closest challengers for the November award are Arsenal with 9 points (wins over Liverpool, Southampton & Cardiff) and Manchester City whose 3 wins came against Norwich, Swansea and Spurs.

Newcastle’s manager though has instead bestowed the honour of clear ‘team of the month’ on his players, saying that over the course of November his team showed that they are ‘as good as anybody’.

“It is definitely the team of the month, I have no doubt of that. I don’t really care about the honours too much, the most important thing is that we have proved in November we are as good as anybody and now we’ve got to take that into December.”

I don’t want to be greedy but it would be a ‘little’ bit interesting imagining waking up with a New Year’s eve hangover and seeing Pardew and his team as clear winners for December as well…

Newcastle United go for 5 wins in a row on Wednesday night and the match is televised live on BT Sport – until 9th December they have a special offer where you can get up to £100 in Sainsbury’s gift cards if you switch to BT Broadband.
