Ben Arfa should leave in the Summer. Mapou too.

Where is Ben Arfa though?

Gouffran and Cisse start. So does Debuchy.

Idiot.

Have we had a manager who never loved him? He must be Drogba like in training. Keegan didn't seem to rate him at all. Aye he was one, Keegan was unfortunate Shola failed a medical elsewhere. He wasn't getting rid of Shola that easily. Good effort though. Stoke could have been complaining about him instead of us if he hadn't failed his medical.

Will be rolling out the injuries excuse no doubt tonight if things go pear-shaped. Thing is Alan, if we had bought a few players in the last two transfer windows like every other club we would not have this problem.

Same. Six points surrendered against these c***s, man. Would have probably effectively relegated them had we won too.

If we don't score that will be 7 out of the last 8 games....

Still think they will stay up.

Hope he gets a goal tonight. Both him and us certainly need it.

Not much of a compliment really.

Had to happen. They are a better team to be fair.

JFK is imperious - no-one can touch him.

He has none? He is testicularly challenged for sure.

We haven't scored a goal in 9 games this season (36% of the total games) and can only see this percentage getting higher. We are going to need to buy some good players in the Summer but we all know we will only do just enough to get by. Doesn't help when you have someone like Pardew in charge who is more interested in keeping things tight and not attacking teams.

We're due a gift from the opposition, and Spurs are that type of team. Or Benny might score one of his once in a blue moon wonder goals. So a 4-1 defeat I reckon. Quite optimistic in the circumstances. We would struggle against them with a full side out to be fair. This season really has turned to shit - hard to imagine we could have been in the top four had we beaten Arsenal at the end of December now we don't know where the next goal is coming from, never mind win.

Defeat again imo. Probably no goals too.

Marveaux coming on.

You could argue Hughes, Allardyce, Meulensteen and maybe Pepe Mel but Pardew is just so unlikeable and lies through his teeth.

Hopefully MA will sack him (then blow his own brains out) if we finish down the table.

I think you are right.

Can't see us getting anything against Spurs on Wednesday either. No threat, no goals.

It's lucky we only need 1 win to stay up, i think we are going to lose ten or so of our last games. The implosion is certainly in full swing. No top ten finish equals no bonus for Pardew and friends so at least that is a small positive.

This season really is going to disintegrate isn't it?
