Should we have dropped Cabaye before the Liverpool game when he turned a defeat into a draw? Should we have dropped Cabaye before the mackem game when de did the same thing? Should we have dropped him before the Everton game where he played a class ball through to Ba when Ba went on to score?

eggs f***ing zactly. Seconded.

Cisse and Pardew should both take credit for his performances last season because we played to his strengths and he played out of his skin. He was never going to perform like that all of the time but this season has seen his position in the team change beyond recognition and that isn't down to Cisse. Cisse's had some poor luck but this season isn't anything like the team that played for most of the 2nd half of last season. The worst thing is, most of the players are the same yet we're miles away from where we were when Cisse first arrived. The three players you mention are suffering because of the way that we are playing, you could say they should be able to adapt but the whole team are suffering except for Ba and Santon.

Stick him in our team and even he'd struggle.

Yes, really.

Going by what you say, people would think all of our players are shit and being managed by a top manager.

Aye, only because he's not Messi.

Ben Arfa isn't a problem, he's the only bright spot amongst some fairly shit performances at the minute.

Bobby managed the situation and he didn't have a team for Europe and a team for the league.

I think it's another defeat, we wouldn't have lost against the Swansea of last season but this one can actually get goals.

The gap between our forwards and the rest of the team when we break is embarrassing.

That's just an excuse, one game shouldn't tell him more than the other games which have been just as bad but more numerous.

Christ, is somebody really having a go at Ben Arfa. He was our only player worth watching today.

Cisse offered more in 45 minutes than his replacement did, at least he doesn't have the movement of a corpse

Spot on, this seasons performances are mirroring last seasons without the lucky results.

I wonder what shit he's going to come out with tonight? He hasn't got a clue at the minute.

I'm quite happy with our starting 11 and subs, hopefully we'll be going at them from the start.

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=741558 A massive yes from me, the longer they struggle the better.

You're right, he doesn't even have an automatic start like he did when he was here and the fans don't rate him yet he was loved by most when he played for us. At the minute it looks like a shit move by him.

Left back Davide Santon who plays for a club that finished top 5 gets called up for national team.

He deserves a call up as he's playing really well.

You should worry more about what he was doing while you slept.

Brugge should be shot with shit, only 18,000 turned up tonight and loads of our fans had to watch the game on a screen in Brugge, 11,000 below capacity.

Jesus, I do remember half crowns when I was a kid.
