Hopefully both are horrendous, but Norwich score 10 own goals and each team get 3 sent off and 3 season ending injuries

I'm sick of seeing him in the side no matter what he is. If he's not invisible he's passing the ball to the opposition or running into the opposition. He constantly breaks moves down and gives us no chance of playing, he's like some kind of midfield destroyer for the opposition or something.

Don't fall for it Rafa, drop the fucking bell end. Maybe coming on from the bench will improve him..

Aye will be three years at the end of this month, four more chances to change that stat, yah!

If Sunderland somehow get a result today they'd still have a hell of a job getting enough points against Arsenal, Stoke (a), Chelsea, Everton, Watford (a) to get ahead of Norwich. So its hardly a definite they'd stay up anyway. I'd rather get a last chance for todays game then worry about them at this stage.

Well this is last chance saloon, drop all the shit and give us a chance of getting a win please. On Norwich/Sunderland. Got to be either a draw or Sunderland win for me. A Sunderland win gives us the chance, however slim, of being on level points with Norwich and ahead of Sunderland by Tuesday next week (technically could even be out of the relegation zone). I'll take that chance, again no matter how incredibly unlikely we are to take advantage of it, ahead of wishing for results to bring Sunderland down with us.

De Jong is a much better option than Colback though.

True, weve been spending 80M every season since Ashley took over. On English players I don't see the 80m panic spend as a policy change per se. The funds available and transfer policy aren't the same thing. We're still going for the same deals that don't address the imbalance the team. Fed up of hearing about this 80m. It'll be chump change in a few years within the prem and the club makes significant profits each year. The English players thing; I was impressed by the Shelvey signing and Townsend has a goal in him, don't really care about English players though and that seems to be the reason they were signed over needs elsewhere. I get the policy change argument; but McClaren still had little say and acquisitions were still based on Carrs little list of favours and ultimately have been our downfall this season. It's hardly been a case of but things have been so different? How did it go so wrong? Don't think anyone believes our transfer policy has altered beyond all recognition, just that their have been obvious changes, and their have been. Unfortunately the biggest similarity to previous windows is still there. Which is leaving too many glaring gaps in the side.

But how would Janmaat help the situation if fit?, the mans a disaster.

They have 13 points from their last 6 games, including victories over Arsenal and Chelsea, we're on a completely different planet of shitness to this lot. We'll lose this comfortably. Benitez has only had one game at home so far and that was the draw in the derby, hardly enough to see what we'll be like at home under him. Swansea's form isn't bad, but we just have to go out and win this or obviously we're 100% gone, no ifs and buts or second chances. This is the definition of a must win game with no exceptions.

Most of them are tools.

Tell you what, you can accept it and other people can hope for the very slim chance of escape and talk about the chances of that happening, hows that?

Or Villa instead. Norwich losing at this point is best, but Palace losing could open them up as the team to catch considering their form and the teams they have left to play.

we'll be gone before that. If Norwich sink Sunderland this weekend coming and they beat Palace, then its all over. Alan can walk into SJP like a king. Norwich aren't playing Sunderland this weekend, its Norwich/Palace. I'd be happy for Palace to win their first game against Norwich and Sunderland to beat Norwich as well. But IF Norwich beat Palace I think they could still be catchable themselves. The three fixtures they have before us are Everton (H), Arsenal (a), Man Utd (a).

Aye, and the fact he gets on the ball and gets shots away can create chances as well, like the one that rebounded to Cisse on Saturday and should have been the equaliser.

Hmm sound like anyone we already know. Massive spring onion head & French? You aren't trying to say he's no better than Obertan are you?, because despite his limitations he's still far better.

He scored 9 in 45 appearances. Mitrovic has 8 in 27.

You have to be on a wind up, most mental comment ever if not.

He did look good there at the end of the Sunderland game, and he's been terrible going forward away from home so maybe worth a try. Big risk in such a important game though.

But then who plays at left back? Is Mbabu even fit?

Is it not "you're too thick"? I don't mind a correction from a man of your age wisdom Mick.

If Taylor isn't good to decent defensively most of the time I've got no idea how to describe Janmaat. He's either nowhere to be seen defensively or he's arriving too late to stop a goal attempt. I remember one moment last game when under no pressure at all, a number of Newcastle players in front of him, he calmly headed the ball straight to a Sunderland player. Steven Taylor would be fucking massacred on here if he was as bad as Janmaat has been, and theirs been no sign of improvement under Rafa either. The most positive thing you can say about Janmaat is that he regularly receives the ball in a offensive position, unfortunately he regularly does fucking nothing with it.

You'd prefer Steven Taylor to Janmaat at right back is what I see? Or is there some hidden message to your post? Why would you be amazed that someone doesn't want to persist with a a guy at right back who hasn't been able to defend this season and has recently stopped offering any attacking threat to boot. I don't see why its so incredible to want to try someone else there. I've never been Taylors biggest fan, mainly because he makes crazy mistakes occasionally and is made of balsa wood. But most of the time he can actually get on to the field he's decent to good defensively, which would be a big step up from Janmaat at the moment.

I don't care man I just log on here to read a bit of news and give an opinion occasionally. Anything beyond that doesn't interest me.

Nah its more the fact you're to thick to get what I've written.
