No way! He's back to his injury prone ways then. Knew last season was a blip. Sounds like he was rushed back way too early to play against us. Probably done himself damage long term now. Doubt this will be his last injury this season. Couldn't happen to a more deserving prick http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02166/vanpersie_2166175b.jpg

Overhaul ahoy! I reckon Colback will get a new deal if we stay up. Celustka may be signed permanently as well. Gardner possibly be kept if we go down. Bruce will no doubt take a punt on Larsson. The rest I couldn't give a s*** about bar Ki who we have no chance of getting permanently. If we go down and they all go then O'Shea, Cattermole, Fletcher and Mannone could be a decent enough base to build from in that league and just pray that the likes of Mavrias and Ba can fill the gaps Colback is wanted by a few clubs, Hull and Crystal Palace being two of them. With him being out of contract at the end of the season and spending large amount of time being played out of position I can see him wanting to leave, and I could see Sunderland cashing in on him in January if a decent offer comes in from him. I doubt Fletcher and Cattermole will want to stay in the Championship if you go down, O'Shea would probably have to stay because no one would be willing to match his wages. And someone would match Cattermole's wage? How much are you paying the useless b******!? I'd surmise that O'Neill offered him circa 35k pw If Palace stay up Pulis might want to add some leg breaking talent to his midfield.

It's this line that tickled me the most: Oh noes. Why won't we think of poor Roy Hodgson.

Pardew has said in his press conference that this is a game he really wants to win because he still feels his sacking there was unjustified. I think we may see Ben Arfa start.

Remove the sign and you wouldn't even know it was a stadium.

Can they just call themselves Shelbyville AFC and get it over with?

I remember Derby at home. The ball came to him and he twisted, turned, fumbled on the ball for ages before Viduka said 'fuck it' and stuck the ball in the back of the net himself. Embarrassing.

Might as well start building for the Championship in January.

70-30 possession in favour of Everton.

A win for Wham and either Palace or Fulham and things start to look fap worthy at the bottom.

Come on Arsenal

It's fantastic. All the years they made fun of us for complaining about our shit managers whilst they sat smug with the best manager in the league for over 20 years. Now they get to experience how it really feels.

It used to always happen on Football Manager when Fergie retired. Strange seeing it happen in real life. I still don't really believe it.

Eugh I'm starting to like the slimy, silver haired fox again...sort of.

It does seem like 30 points may be enough to stay up at the minute. Teams at the bottom usually start picking up points at the end of the season though so whilst they're not that far adrift now I think they've still got a lot of points to get on the board to be safe.

Blessing in disguise, he's looked shite for some time but undroppable due to his goal threat and captaincy. They'll be a better team without him. But he usually scores against the Mackems so in that sense it sucks. He's just not in that form right now, think he'd have a horror show tbh. Nah he'd have the chicken dance ready and every thing.

Shame Nolan is suspended for that one.

03/04 We didn't get a stone wall penalty that day so really should have ended 0-1.

One nugget accusing Di Fanti of being corrupt. Can never just accept they're a shit club with shit players and staff it always has to be a conspiracy or luck

Almost half the season gone and they have 8 points
