Pretty standard Rafa first half.

But the Alan Pardew talk hasn't? One was an isolated incident, the other was a 5 year negative influence on the club.

Stop being so negative, man. The absolute cheek of you calling Brummie boring when all you do is trot out the same line every single week about how badly we're gonna do. Tbf if you look at the league table I've been proven right more often than not and as I said the other day the hypocrisy on here is staggering considering how negative this forum is in general. There's very few players, managers or board members on here who escape criticism. Am I mixing you up with somebody else or do I remember rightly some hypocrisy regarding season tickets? Quite possibly. This board is rife with it. Are you going to actually provide any evidence of this or just bleat on about it? Bearing in mind that assigning specific opinions to a collective group doesn't count.

Nothing Dutch about my courage young man; I expect us to win as I have all week. Why? Because its rational, not based on superstition. Football isn't rational, Wesley Morgan is lifting up the Premier League trophy this weekend. Still shitting mesel. Bad example Shola, they've been the best team in the league this season. I take your point and I understand being worried because it's such a huge game, but I take issue with negativity as a default position.

It's unlucky man. Far too superstitious for this negative talk, it's going to rub off, they will sense the vibes and play negatively, mark my words I can just imagine all the players being glued to Newcastle online en route to Birmingham and thinking that Wallsendmag has got us down to get beat again. Let's play sh*t and prove him right. Nah, they'll all have you on ignore.

If results go our way today, for the first time I'll start to believe it's possible.

Find those negatives Dave!

Why post that shit, seriously? Because it's fucking true http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3569979/Rafa-Benitez-frame-Everton-job-Toffees-eye-former-Liverpool-boss-replace-Roberto-Martinez-summer.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Not saying he will, like. Is nobody else nervous at the possibility, even if he does have history with them? No

Yessir

We win here, I'm as sure as I was for the Palace match.

Boom. Who called it? This guy *does thumbs thing* Please ignore the final sentence in that post, I'm notoriously inconsistent. Meh, you were late to the party

Also safe in second place unless there's a big goal difference swing.

He still might although I don't know how the ref can say he didn't see the last one. Two yellows then though, 1 game ban. That first challenge is the sort of tackle Tiote gets capital punishment for.

They won 7 games to do that man. This is way more impressive.

Dier should've been sent off twice Really could have done with him being banned for the rest of the season.

I'd still take relegation now if it meant he was going to stay.

It's almost as if he's been given some sensible instructions by the manager of his football team?

Yeah. Not to mention the fact - and I've been saying this for years - that I just can't see Allardyce taking a team down. Not sure I agree with that, I was sure he was taking us down. Not a chance. Are we thinking of the same season? The one in which he deployed Cacapa as a deep lying midfielder? Anyway, thread hijack. Can't be proven either way now.

Jenas rounding the keeper and missing an open goal

Yeah. Not to mention the fact - and I've been saying this for years - that I just can't see Allardyce taking a team down. Not sure I agree with that, I was sure he was taking us down.

I'm still allowing myself to hope but I've always thought the mackems would get out of it, and I still do. They're lucky like that every season.

Hang on. Lads, Dave's just made a positive comment

Shit like this is exactly why I never doubted it.

Never doubted it
