Play like today and we should win. It all decides which Newcastle turns up really, so pointless predicting anything. I'm gonna be in the pub having birthday drinks when all this is happening next week, fucking sick.

I didn't even notice Norwich creeping in there. If neither of us win another game this season we're relying on them getting battered away to city. We just had to be playing against Arsenal on that day as well though.

It's completely out of our hands now even if we do beat QPR because Wigan have two very winnable home games left. They're picking up points rightly recently and you wouldn't bet against them winning both of those home games. We might need something from Arsenal to stay up, which is frightening.

That's it over for me, 10. I really didn't see Wigan winning today but they have all the fight in the world while we're just hopeless. You can see the luck in our game and Wigan's too which points towards the inevitable.

Pardew having a good laugh.

At least now we'll go out and continue to try and score in the 2nd half, rather than go out protecting a 1 goal lead and inevitably getting bummed.

I'm sorry, but that's too straight forward for Pardew.

I think that's incredibly harsh on Nolan. First off, he came here half way through the relegation season and joined a squad that was all over the place and was pretty much rotten to the core, with Joe Kinnear as manager, so to be honest people like him are the last I'd blame for that mess of a season. And I really don't know where you've gotten this idea that he "couldn't give 2 f*cks" tbh because who knows what certain players were thinking at the time? When we went down it was largely reported that Nolan was one of the players gathering the troops and telling players to either commit or leave. He was also absolutely instrumental in us getting promoted and keeping us in the Premier League the following year, he was fantastic in the two seasons following relegation. It was also reported that Nolan was a top professional off the field as well, visiting children at schools etc and being a total gent to fans. We've had some shit captains over the years, Michael Owen being a top example, but Nolan was a fine captain for the club.

Yeah Wigan play Swansea on Tuesday. So we could be 1 point from safety before playing QPR.

Nah, if that happens we're down and I'll accept it tomorrow. Yep. Infact we'll be in 18th come next weekend because you just know they'll beat Swansea on Tuesday night.

What if the football next season is different?

Hardly makes it a club colour. There's red on there too.

I really don't understand the blue on the home top man, if it was just a trim like the old brown ale one it might look decent, but why put them through the stripes as if it's one of the clubs colours? If the Wonga box is blue too then you know it was just to make it look better, which is ridiculous. The away tops are complete trash too. It's going to be plain insulting charging fans £40 for one of those.

We've had a new kit maker and two new sponsors in that time though which might be the reason for some of that? I agree though, it should be every two years.

Fulham 2-0 Reading Norwich 1-1 Aston Villa Swansea 0-2 Man City Tottenham 3-1 Southampton West Brom 2-0 Wigan West Ham 2-3 Newcastle QPR 0-3 Arsenal Liverpool 2-1 Everton Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea Sunderland 1-0 Stoke City Man City 2-1 West Brom Wigan 2-2 Swansea Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

I have that one and it's actually one of my favourite tops of ours, but the problem with this is the random lines going through the black and white stripes and the big patch.

If the blue shit wasn't there and the Wonga box is black with white writing, it would look really well. But you know the designers just put blue lines all over the top to make the blue Wonga sponsor fit in better.

That is actually it too. Worse one I've ever seen, fuck me those blue lines.

Brilliant.

It'll be so much worse than this.

Every single decision made on the field and every single player picked on the team is going to be put under the microscope in the remaining games until we're safe. If he fucks up again and we lose this weekend because of stupidity then this place will be crazy.

The banner looks the same to me, what is it?

We're talking about Wigan catching us, which means probably catching them as well if they only got a point.
