Sheringham: Abuse aimed at Newcastle boss Pardew disgusting

West Ham United coach Teddy Sheringham is shocked by the abuse Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has endured.

The Hammers meet Newcastle this weekend.

"Some of it was disgusting," Sheringham told the Daily Mail. "You wouldn't wish it upon your worst enemy.

"It was the same for Sam with some of the stick that he's taken. But they are thick-skinned these managers. You look at them and think, 'How are you taking that?' In no other job in the world would you get people barracking in your ear.

"They'll be trying to concentrate on the pitch but all they can hear is thousands of people all around screaming, 'You're useless'. How does that work? So you have to take your hat off and applaud them for doing a good job."
