I agree with Steve Bruce about the whole situation:

Fancying Everton to go 2 points clear of Arsenal too with a win at Sunderland, maybe 1-0 or 2-1.

Pardew blaming the local media, the wind and the referee is yet more deflecting from the central issue that his team selection, tactics and performances since the reverse fixture have been (barring one or two exceptions) fucking useless.

When they beat Crystal Palace about a month ago.
Number 1
Yes. We've lost more games by 3 or more goals than we've actually won in 2014.

Also, good to see Kane scoring again, but bad to see that Rose is still playing. We have got some incredibly useless players!

While this is true, the fact is also that we were 6th after beating Stoke on Boxing Day and had a legitimate shot at, if not quite a top 4 challenge than at least holding our own for a high finish. Barring one or two exceptions, the performances since have been painful and I daresay four months of frequently poor football has finally drained the optimism away.
I accept top 10 is preferable to last season, when it took us 37 games to make sure we were even able to stay in the league. But its been astonishing how flat 2014 has been so far - the only two genuinely impressive performances were at West Ham (Cabaye left within 10 days) and Hull (tainted by that stupid head-nudge). Pardew's ridiculous truth-bending doesn't help our mood with him.
Still, the relegation battle does make for compelling viewing. Sunderland look to have used up all their lifelines, but elsewhere, its anyone's guess. Be quite something if Norwich, Cardiff and Fulham all survive.

Without Cabaye and Remy I dread to think where we'd be.

This would involve logic though.
Sunday Sun can fuck off though. Fact the local media are giving space to Sheppard show that they don't give a single fuck about Newcastle, or the 'local community'. But who could possible predict a bunch of white, male, middle-class, middle-age journalists would have a persecution complex?
Pards is also sorry, for finishing higher than most pre-season predictions. Pards is also sorry for keeping Newcastle out of the relegation scrap that a lot of pundits predicted.

The problem is you have to change expectations as you go along, and a long bad streak when you've surpassed your minimum expectation can yield trouble. Look at West Brom - they were 4th in November last season with a team built around a loan striker (Lukaku), then coasted to the end, and never really got out of that coasting spiral. This streak of poor performances is not conductive to a good mood.
The relentless streak of excuses Pardew comes up with to justify defeats is also not helpful. Yes, Stoke had a lucky wind-assisted goal and yes, we should've had a penalty, but he never accepts the premise his team have played poor, or that he picked the wrong team/tactics/both. At some point, you just stop believing everything he says
But like it matters. I don't imagine him leaving the club anytime soon.
