Pardew Eager To Rub Out That 5-0 Horror Show!

Alan Pardew is hoping a little "je ne sais quoi" will help his team gain revenge on Tottenham for that 5-0 thumping in the corresponding fixture last season.

United have had back-to-back victories over Aston Villa and Chelsea, with new boys Mathieu Debuchy, Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko having added a little Gallic flair to his side.

Alan Pardew:“Tottenham is a difficult one, but we are going to go there with renewed vigour – we have some ‘je ne sais quoi’ in the team – and hopefully get something there.

“Last year when we were flying, it was a real disappointment for us that day. We were well beaten, so we need to put that right.

"The Toon Army have a potential new hero in Sissoko.

“You lose great players. Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Gary Speed – people like that.

“But new stars emerge – Sissoko has announced his arrival.”
