Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has hit out at detractors of both him and his former Newcastle United players.
Alan Pardew says critics of Newcastle United's players and management need to ease off, while also defending his own record at the club.
The Crystal Palace manager has turned fortunes around at Selhurst Park since arriving at the start of the year, but Newcastle's results have proceeded to nosedive under former assistant John Carver.
A run of eight consecutive Premier League defeats leaves Newcastle in the relegation mix-up going into the season's final three games.
