The College Dropout

Southampton's the bigger game but I'd still like to see a side that's close to full strength against Metalist. Not for me.

Well we do love a hoof.

He's been subbed/off the bench a lot more this season though. When you look at individual games he completes he's close to 60 or higher.

We can make up for losing to S'hampton, we can't tomorrow. If we can't get the 11 or so points we will need to survive from 11 games, we don't deserve to stay up. Personally, i'd take 17th place and an FA Cup/Europa Cup over 5th placed finish. Maybe even just the league cup tbh.

Would be very disappointed if he doesn't start.

Have we decided to go for it? Santon and HBA sitting at home. I hate how 'careful' Pardew is with easing players back in, but even I think it would have been daft to bring Hatem there. Santon might have picked up a niggle, or he just needs a rest considering he's played a hell of a lot of football this season. We're full strength apart from that, and our first XI will probably be as good as it realistically could have been. Would rather HBA come off the bench today and skip the weekend personally. Same with Santon.

He hardly had the best of times here. In my humble etc, he got blamed for the faults of others too often. Can't blame him for celebrating He left on bad terms with the fans aye. roeders' fault, he's a poor mans Makelele who we tried to make Steven gerrard

I don't remember the last time we beat a decent level opposition with even a slightly weakened (from available) team.

Tbf I don't think Inter are in that top bracket of European club although at the time Mou was there they had an extended run of being top dogs in Italy.

What?

Just half and we are safe like. Should go hard as we can in the Europa.

Lack of fire power there. Need a goal.

3 wins and a couple draws from safety imo. In 12 games we must be able to cope.

A little disappointed he's not travelling but I can understand. Maybe it's just me desperate for a trophy. I'd rather we win midweek and lose weekend than the other way around because I don't believe we'll be relegated.

People are also claiming last season he was average. When pretty much everyone in the squad had solid to excellent seasons. So there's definite swing in general popularity. He shots from outside the box once or twice and people start crying.

I reckon some of these posts will be made to look stupid over the next few months. Then again, people are moaning non-stop about the yellow cards which has and always will be a feature of his game.

How many points are we off relegation? Go for the tried and tested in midfield.

Look at the results. Speaks volumes. Cabs does more donkey work without Tiote, Tiote does.... sigh.. Tiote tries too much without Cabs.

Cabaye/Tiote has always been effective offensively and defensively. I'd be more confident of a clean-sheet with Tiote in the side and i'm confident we'll score regardless as much as I like Anita.

Don't believe that like. Sometimes he's so offside, the deep player knows it and doesn't pass it to him. Bigi's goal for example. I'd like to believe he was making a distracting run but tbh, he was miles off and wasn't dragging any defenders with him. Same match I think he decided to hold Ba's hand in an offside position.

I'm trolling because I believe Cisse is always offside is largely Cisse's fault? What has the world come too.

He doesn't try the popping on and offside man. He's just offside.

Of most strikers? Yes. From Fillippo Ade Cisse? No.

Point being, if a player is offside a lot. It's his fault. People here are blaming the majority of the problem on other players. I brought up Inzaghi to point out how stupid that is.
