Shearergol

But the quote is for the fans - he thinks that him saying that is going to get the fans to think "aye, right, not gonna win anyway are we, let's just be happy to keep it down to a few"? Actually, that's probably the case.

But surely there's never really any pressure on Barca? Just go out there and play. We're shit, hardly winning anything these days and the fans are getting unsettled. How is there no pressure on us? The man is a complete and utter tit.

What a shite lineup.

0-6

We're not though are we. That win at the weekend practically made it that we only need a couple more wins to stay up. [/club's view]

Is Santon a purple? Space to add another to the squad next January

OK, that was predictable. Nothing like Pardew though ;-)

Never thought I'd say this... Get Obertan on.

I can't think of a single chance we've had apart from the two goals (which I don't class as chances). Has McGregor made a save yet?

Honestly? We're shite. They're worse.

4 new centre backs in summer. Not happening though is it.

Ameobi's got a shot on him ;-)

It wouldn't. It's only a red if you prevent a goal, not score one.

Agreed. He'd have been sent off for doing the same thing at the other end.

Great finish!

The new Tiote.

We've actually somehow got worse. Just a complete lack of ideas. What's with this play deep and counter shit? We haven't got the players for that. It relies on strong defence and creative midfielders....

We're just generally shit. A few weeks away from pardew was never going to solve that. This is a long term issue that requires a long term fix. Getting rid of the entire coaching staff would be the best start to that.

This looks like another embarrassing loss. 0-3

Not watching. Was Williamson at fault?

So these games are: Arsenal (a) L 1-4 mackems (h) L 0-1 Manure (a) L 1-3 Everton (h) W 3-2 Burnely (h) D 3-3 Total goals against: 13 Also got the league cup defeat at Spurs (a) L 0-4 So, 17 goals in 6 games. Jesus. That fella saves though Not great on crosses etc etc etc I remember a sign outside a church years ago stating "Jesus saves". Someone scribbled on "but Shearer nets the rebound".

Isn't the 4pm press conference thing based on my "wind-up" from about 10 years ago?

Helps having Gareth Bale to sell like.

Man City would certainly want Cisse. True story.

Would Howe be a good shout?
