So it's more likely than not that four teams will be relegated this year? Not sure I agree with that, like.

That video. "Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

Found that so difficult to get through. So f***ing sad. It really is. Some of the imagery is almost too much to take. I can't imagine attending a sporting event and being crushed to death. Children involved no less. This sends fucking shivers down my spine. 'A police constable, Andrew Eddison, who went into the pens to pull people out, said in his statement that “everybody had urinated themselves” and defecated, and that vomit swirled over the bodies and around his feet. There were two piles of bodies at the front, and Eddison said a hand at the bottom of one was pulling at his trouser leg. Once the bodies were finally cleared, it turned out to be a child.' Reading his statement, by the time they pulled people off the pile to get to the child he'd died. So, so awful.

Found that so difficult to get through. So fucking sad.

Half the stadium will probably clap him off the field and ask him for a wave.

I fucking hate this thread.

Can't just make a positive post these days... there's always something to piss you off with this club.

Been shocked at how this lad has stepped up his game in recent weeks. Looked terrified of the ball whenever he got a game for us previously. He's still a bit clumsy on the ball but he's improving as he grows in confidence. He and Mbemba complement each other very nicely and should be our first choice partnership for the rest of the season. Have every faith that Rafa will do just that as well. You just know Pardew and McClaren would be itching to send Coloccini and/or Taylor out there as soon as they got half a fucking chance. The stupid cunts.

Colback you tit just clear it.

Cisse's first touch is possibly the worst thing on earth.

Can't believe people were slating him for failing to score on that break that he single handedly created.

Quality first half. City don't look like they fancy it, looking forward to seeing Mitro come on and raining down wrath upon these cheating cunts.

This linesman can go and rape himself.

Perez was just about off tbh.

Soft goal?

Fucking yes!! What a fucking goal!!

People calling Sissoko shit for that. Brilliantly reads a pass, intercepts it, beats two defenders, powers forward. Gets a shot off, doesn't quite get it right. "You're shite!!"

Good to see Daniel Bryan has found work after WWE. Pity he's fucking relegated us in the process though.

So far offside. Such a shit sport. Fuck off.

They have Everton in Wednesday, us on Saturday then Villarreal on Thursday. Couldn't ask for a better time to play them really. Still have a hard time seeing us get anything other than a hot, firm bumming off them though.

Obertan right, Townsend left. Mitro up top with Cisse... God help me I think I'd be happy with that. I do believe 4-4-2 is the only system that has a chance to work for us right now.

Both of those players deserve to be dropped. I really hope it's not for Colback though.

Either him or Cisse have to play tomorrow. Either give Mitrovic a partner or else play an AM who actually has a clue how to play the position.

Honestly think tomorrow is the last chance for us to give ourselves a fighting chance. A win might just give the players a bit of belief to carry into the last five fixtures. Think the atmosphere on Tuesday night against City would be absolutely cracking if our fans got just a little bit of encouragement from the team. After that, only Liverpool away is a fixture that I'm pretty certain we'll get tonked in. Even then, that game comes right after the Merseyside derby and before their Europa League semi so perhaps they'll be a little flat. Still likely enough to beat us mind, but it's at least something. If we can get some momentum over the next week and stay within touching distance you couldn't ask for a better pair of fixtures than Palace and Villa. If we manage to take it to the last day then hopefully Leicester will have the league sewn up and Spurs will have nothing to play for other than the players trying to keep fit for the Euros. Still hope IMO, but we really need to get the fucking finger out.

This is my (ever cynical) thinking. I have every confidence Rafa is an honest man but he's subject to the whims of liars and madmen.
