Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew knows he's not a favourite these days of the Toon Army.
Pardew is bracing himself for a hostile reception at St James' Park today when he takes his seat in the directors' box ahead of the Magpies' match against Swansea City.
"Of course, the reaction in the city is very different during a bad run," he said.
"You can't get away from the fact my relationship with the fans has suffered and it's not good at the moment.
"This club has religious fever and you live and die by results. We've had four defeats and I'm in the doghouse.
"A little boy had a sticker on him saying "Pardew Out" next to my car and his friend was on the other side taking a picture of him.
"So you've got to put up with things like that at times like this but I try to be respectful of people's opinion."
