Get in!! Nice goal.

Just need to get a win today, don't expect it to be pretty just get out of this mess of a season.

His biggest game for us was last Sunday, and he fucked it up in spectacular fashion. Aye, was a ridiculous post. Had we won last Sunday and lost today nobody would have been too bothered. But winning today won't make up for last week, though it'd be precious points in the relegation fight this rancid excuse for a manager has somehow got us into.

Interpolic. Love how the original post just came out of nowhere, Ian hadn't even posted in a couple of pages. Don't think calling Stu is a bannable offence though, nor should it be. Post a picture of a vadg or something mate.

Carroll and Cisse would probably work like. Neither would work the channels or drop deep much, but we wouldn't really need them to as we'd play it "direct" to AC with Cisse looking to feed off of him. As others have said, if we're going to keep Pardew getting Carroll makes sense as I can't ever see us being a good pass and move side with him running the show.

We tried to build from the back yesterday, we're just no good at it. We still have nobody who links midfield to attack, Cabaye is deployed to deep and Sissoko isn't really that kind of player. Our movement off the ball is abysmal as well, which makes us easy to contain. I'd be tempted to try Ben Arfa in a free role just off Cisse tbh, think Sissoko looks dangerous in wide areas so reckon it might just work.

Think him in the #10 role with Sissoko and HBA on either side of Cisse is probably our strongest front four. Not that we'll produce any sort of football from it or anything.

Me dad says he's a stand-up guy Your dad's probably on the wind-up, being your dad as he is and all.

Think he's an absolute snake tbh. Don't actually care like, it's the fact that he's wank at his job that's the problem.

Dey tuk awhr jawb!!

Wonder how many fans he lost today? Quite a few I'll bet. We'll never be a good team to watch and we'll never be much better than a mid-table team with him in charge, honestly not arsed watching us play these days.

Left the pub after the third goal, painful how shit we are. No complaints anyway, better side won. Hope we stay up and Ashley grows a pair and finds a real manager.

Getting nervous... 9pm kickoff here. Hope we bury the wretched cunts.

His movement in and around the box is fantastic like, has that ability to find an extra yard of space that very few strikers have. Reckon he'll always be a player that'll frustrate to some extent because he's not actually that good a finisher for the most part. Misses some real sitters and will continue to do so I'd imagine, just doesn't have that little bit of composure that he needs in certain situations. Yesterday when he should have given it back to Marveaux was a prime example. I don't think he was being greedy, I just reckon he panicked a bit. What he makes up for it with though is some brilliant goals from half chances and movement in the box that'll ensure that he keeps getting enough chances to post a healthy goal return. Hope we add some better wide options to play either side of him in the 4-2-3-1 over the summer, think he can be a quality #9 for us for years to come.

Stroking yourself? Didn't want to mention that I'm completely naked, thought it would seem weird.

Followed the last ten minutes refreshing this thread sitting in the dark and silence on my bedroom floor. Feels good man.

Get directly the fuck in!!

Well that explains everything.

Imagine nailing Sissoko's sister man, you'd live the rest of your life in absolute fear.

Great stuff, hope he can get over the mental aspect of it pretty quickly too and not have his career hurt by this. Developed a real hatred for Wigan through this whole thing, hope the horrendous cunts go down.

Good to see he's getting some time with the first team and not looking out of his depth, hopefully he'll get a couple of starts in the league once we're officially safe. Be nice to have another option who can play across the front three, the fact that he's tiny and ginger is brilliant as well obviously.

Cracking result, sounds like it was a class ending to the game. Let's hope for a nice draw now.

Stu and I appear to be in the Southampton supporters bar, hope some rubbish decisions go our way.

Happy with the team. Momentarily heartbroken when people were saying Shola would start.

Off to town now to watch this. Reasonable kick off time as always, half past midnight on a Sunday night. Fucking Australia. Stuck watching it with Stu as well, which is far from ideal.
