Absolutely.

We can only get better, I doubt even Pardew is stupid enough to let Shola come out for the 2nd half. Hope will destroy you. You should read some Senecan philosophy

Can you imagine that on physioroom? Raylor (Knee) Vuckic (Thigh) ... Bigi (Banjo-string on todger)

Prefer Obertan on the left, me.

Can't see a goal in our team at present.

Same old story. Fans care a fuckload, fans are treated like mugs.

Btw, how shite is Bigi's new hair? Should go back to the previous.

Quite pleased so far - one half is almost over!

The personnel isn't as good as usual, but it could very easily be our first eleven getting beat the same way.

Pardew's 'keep it tight' gameplan is foiled again. Poyet's got Brighton playing some nice stuff though.

The commentators are fucking loving it :lol:

Decent ball from Tav. Good shape on it.

More goals. We're used to more goals.

Should've gone over El-Abd's boot there.

Really lax attempt to block the cross from Sammy.

Typical unmotivated against lower-league side start from us, sadly.

Very lax from Bigi so far.

As chips.

Happy enough that, but why no Marveaux? Not like the lad has played many games this season! He's played a lot of high octane games very quickly after a while out, though. Not the worst idea to rest him and avoid burn out, especially with HBA out for another month and with Marv's injury record. I see the rationale behind it. I do hope we win, mind you. I'm not indifferent, but the Premiership should be prioritised ahead of the Cup this season given the current state of affairs.

Think so, yeah.

I didn't think Cisse had travelled. I'd rather Ranger started. Ah, cheers Hope Amalfitano gets on at some point.

Hope Shola starts. If Cisse gets injured we're boned.

Hyperbole overload
