It will be the most nightmarish lineup that that Pardfluke can conjour up.

Reset the score to what it should be you wankers.

Think the Telegraph piece is funny and takes an entertaining and well deserved swipe at the club who IMO have mishandled the whole thing. It would have just been another puff piece of journalistic opportunism - but our reaction has given it more legs and the feeling that the original article was based in truth.

S'hampton are playing even more expansive football than before...They stream forward when they have the ball and seem to play without fear.

I found it interesting how sure he was of his sources. For those who didn't hear it, he said he had the texts saved and had kept his shorthand notes etc, and that the 3-4 people were currently employed by NUFC. Also that some players had questioned Pardew's tactics - not sure if the article mentioned that. He's not exactly going to say he made it all up, but it sounded legit. Sounds pretty fishy tbh. Someone somewhere along the line feels there's a definite problem. This is elephant in the room stuff. The French contingent want to PLAY FOOTBALL.

I know a lot can be read into a turn of phrase etc...but hopefully he's done more than touch on it We have to look for wins in all these games...No more flim flam.

Playing the system we do must be hell for the technically gifted and tactically aware French contingent.

It's really clumsy PR.

Hatem has been sweating over DHL and the delivery of his PSG toiletries set.

Hatem was too busy ironing his PSG bedspread to comment.

All their phones are tapped up by the Sun. [/topical]

Neymar is coming....Not sure he will fit in with all his Diva stuff...

They can say what they like...But wholesale tangled nonsense of the last two home performances tell a different story.

My French commentators are really laughing it up...

Diame will run straight through the middle while snacking on a dime bar.

Maybe camouflage the goal with chicken feathers and get a witch doctor in.

A gruelling, soul destroying, faith sapping 1-0 loss. All coated in horseshit.

Think it will be 1-1

We need a point at Wham and then we HAVE TO BEAT Qpr or we're gone.

It's between us and Wigan now. Villa will be ok.

Wigan won't win at Villa. Wigan at home to Swansea is the key game now.

You're becoming a parody of yourself. We made Southampton, Sunderland, Liverpool and even Reading look fantastic, why would we playing as we are, not make Q.P.R. look great too. You may have noticed that we are the worst football team, with the worst defence and the worst away record in the league. Away at Q.P.R. Parody indeed. The pressure is off qpr now and that will help them...These little things are critical now.

We are in free fall, it's all about where we land. Villa and Wigan are fighting. Yeah, but we have a points cushion on both sides (Villa could cut that tonight) and they have to play each other. It's just incredibly negative to assume that we will not pick up any points from our remaining games but Villa and Wigan will. Yeah, put it this way. If Villa or Wigan has QPR away and we didn't we would all be assuming they would easily get 3 points. There is no excuse not to go there and win. The only way that is possible is if we roll over and let Taarabt and Remy take the piss. I fear that we could go down but even with Pardew in charge the odds are massively in our favour. Remy and Carroll will score against us...That is already written in stone. Well need two or three goals at Qpr and Wham to get the 3 points....Not looking good.

Spot on. It really has been as simple as that for ages now...Nearly a year and a half at a guess. If we don't win at Qpr we're down...That is it. Even if we beat Qpr...Wigan and Villa could yet get over 40 points..Neither have more than one game where they should lose on paper.
