8.5 after Defoe's goal. Historically attacking football has played into the hands of their dinosaur tactics and they've struggled against fellow dross (other than NUFC), so I have more faith in Everton and Watford than Chelsea. Just hope Lukaku, Ighalo and Deeney have their shooting boots on to put the game out of Defoe's spawny reach.

It wasn't a freak win. We played them off the park. I suspect he meant freak result in that side had never played as well as they played that day or shown any capability of doing so.

He's benefited from the improved form of the team tbh. He was pushed to his worst form by too much falling on his shoulders due to the rest of the midfield not knowing how to attack, so he had to over-extend himself. Delighted that Chinese deal fell through.

Feel foolishly optimistic about a NUFC victory for some reason. The circumstances of the game are such that we play right into their hands - they need a point, we need a win. They will defend for 60 minutes then hope for a bit of magic to nick it. Benitez needs to make sure the players are switched on and have attacking urgency and purpose, without being reckless and porous when off the ball, from minute 1.

As good an excuse as any to re-bump this beauty: http://www.football365.com/news/no-sam-allardyce-you-couldnt-do-a-leicester

Bournemouth and Swansea twice I think.

Zlatan, HBA, Diarra and Di Maria up for French Player of the Year

Fantasyland - I would want Palace down.

Hahah, spurs. Quite enjoyed this. Erikssen's set pieces have been terrible.

Spurs play some lovely stuff, but they aren't half a team of diving weasels.

Jan's never claiming that

Stoke have been humped three weeks on the bounce. Got to restore some pride next week at home, you'd hope.

IP put you over the top and become face, not sure he can do the same with TCD.

Would love to catch a game with Garth if he didn't kill me at the end :lol:

Fucking hell. Pardew winning a cup and sunderland relegating NUFC in one season. Unfathomable.

Nice shirt.

Got no time for Shelvey. Jogging around like a complete passenger.

Not advocating NUFC going gung-ho for a winner, but can't just absorb pressure like this.

Learn from the mistakes of Norwich please.

Howay Klopp, don't be a dick. Let us win this man. You really don't need this.

Then Colback fucks up a five yard pass with men over Of course

Townsend has been great btw.

Colback and Cisse :lol: Trolling me to fuck.
