Not sure if srs. Good job of picking up the wrong end of the stick tho.

I'm game. Forest, Leicester as well. Bolton, Boro etc just cos their northern though?

Palace are a shit club. No way are you shoving Stoke and Wolves on the south, you can have them. Basing the clubs you want in the league on how easy it is to go - selfish and close-minded. What we need is proper clubs, not no mark cloggers that allow loads of away fans due to the fact they can't fill their identikits.

We've only just purged the Premiership of this disease and you're advocating allowing them back in? At least the shit southern clubs have the decency to fuck off after a season or two, rather than linger around like a stale fart for ages. (Bolton, Blackburn, Boro, Stoke, Wolves, Wigan etc)

Went to the Watford game today, they've got some real quality in their team on the ball, but are pretty awful at the back. if they did make it up they'd need basically a whole defence as their current one would get ripped to shreds. Chalobah and Briggs are two young English players who look really promising.

Has TV for the away match been announced?

Cowardly cunts.

One bank of four, one bank of five, valiantly hold on for 30 mins before we let in a simple goal and never look like getting back in it. End up battling to keep it 1-0 in the second half. Token cameo from Shola, concede a poor second and City keep the ball for the last 15 mins. Next.

Anyone that's played knows you don't go in at that pace at that height unless you're going in with intent to catch the player. Disgusting challenge; he shouldn't play again this season at least.

And being our only attacking outlet.

We could really do with someone like Kone. We're absolutely pathetic going forward, so scared comitting players forward.

Watford, Leicester and Brighton.

Legit. Bring on Spurs.

One hundred billion.

I'd like to see Anita back in the team, in the role of picking the ball up off the defence so Cabaye can receive it 10 yards further forwards, with him and Sissoko equivalents. So: Anita Cabaye Sissoko Ben Arfa Cisse Gouffran I don't really like this 4-2-3-1 business. Cabaye is too deep and Cisse is much too isolated.

What happened? Missed it. Punched a kitten.

We look like what we are; a collection of very good players. We scrape by due to their individual ability but there's no cohesion, understanding or variety of tactics. We don't look like we train at all and this is the first time the players have seen each other all week. Those problems are the manager's job.

We're desperately shit in possession. The movement is non existent, no collective pressure, awful pitch sense and positioning, rigid set up making us a doddle to keep out...just shit.

Not just on the evidence of tonight, but we play some disgusting stuff when compared to Spurs.

lolocaust 2k13

I reckon Ben Arfa will play depending on the result, if we're losing then he'll risk him, if not he won't get off the bench. (rightly)

Kill him
