It's not going to be Pulis unless Short has suddenly lost his marbles. Can you imagine Pulis with a team full of foreigners? Appointing Di Canio was what exactly? A sign he had a full bag of marbles?

Pulis not even on the odds list on Sky. Can only hope the ITKs who have got the sacking right are right about Pulis too

Shola's out I think

Yes fucking please

Finished with 48. Considering I had 37 yesterday with my captain to play today I had high hopes. However Walcott didn't play and my vice was Benteke

With that considered my 47 points is acceptable. Also i picked Walcott but he didn't play would one of my subs take his place? Like-for-like switch only. So if you have a midfielder on the bench, he'll come on. That's not true, your first sub comes in for your first non-player as long as it still makes a valid formation.

Seek help.

Fuck Theo man, worst thing is Benteke is my VC.

Think closer to Reading at home last season for levels of ineptitude

The international break coming up would give them chance to get a replacement in, it's an opportunity a few clubs might take.

I suppose it was still Hughton's team with different characters in there like Barton and Nolan, we might have better footballers now but definitely have less............something missing. Commitment.

Yeah, I was pretty lazy then thought about it and worked it out. We were practically cavalier in those first 6 months compared to how we are now.

Didn't we score 4 against Wolves a couple of seasons ago too? Or is that more than 88 matches ago? Edit: It was, comfortably.

Fans turned on Hughton a bit yesterday, just because he subbed Redmond

I'm not sure it'll be that weak. We don't play again until Monday and Pardew could probably do without the flack of getting beat here. We've gone back to back away games after this, then Liverpool at home and the mackems. We need every win we can muster. Think it'll be something like: Krul, Debuchy, MYM, Williamson, Dummett, Tiote, Bigirimana, Marveaux, Sammy, Cisse, Gouffran Maybe someone better than Bigi, no shortage of options in Anita/Sissoko/Gosling/Vuckic even if Cabaye is out. Think he'll play Cisse because he just needs a goal from somewhere. Expect Remy & HBA will be on the bench for an emergency, and Shola is injured.

Thought Santon was pretty shit today going forward, don't remember him making any defensive errors but pretty sure it was him giving it away which led to their third.

Crying out for a plan B, which should have been Gomis but will instead be Shola if he gets over his latest "knock"

He's pretty detrimental, it was bad enough when he wasn't scoring but now it's like the other team have 12

Krul - 5 Debuchy - 5 Colo - 6 MYM - 5 Santon - 4 Anita - 6 Sissoko - 5 Cabaye - 5 Ben Arfa - 4 Remy - 9 Cisse - 4 Garbage second half, didn't look bothered in the slightest.

Honestly, the only thing that has me seething more than the "performance" was the fat fucking "woman" Hull fan in the Milburn who was going nuts when they scored the 1st and third goal. She missed the 2nd goal as she was probably having a pie. Had it been a man, he would be dead now.

Just got back in. We were shit. Except Remy, Remy was mint.

What do you think your back 4 will be when everybody is back? Johnson Sakho Agger Enrique?

All of the quickest men in the world are about his size. I'll never get why so many comments like this exist. Years of Shola "running" have ruined our perception.

I particularly enjoyed this on Milner: "Or Milner come to that......a reserve played out of position for his club.....a similar level of signing to Johnson imo" The same poster started the thread and wanted him to be signed as a central midfielder. I know this forum has debated the merits of playing Milner in centre midfield (when we had him) but it's never really happened for any prolonged period of time.

Just had a glance at RTG. Wtf is this!? http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/mccarthy-and-milner.810470/
