It's going to end up like this: Newcastle Norwich Villa

It's not them I'm worried about, it's the mackems - they're only a point behind us, playing much better than us and pretty much guaranteed 3 points in the derby. Yep - Allardyce is doing what he's always done. Made them organised, ugly and they're going to get harder to beat. I still think we'll go.

Aston Villa 0 v 2 Everton Bournemouth 1 v 1 Southampton Leicester 2 v 1 West Brom Norwich 1 v 1 Chelsea Sunderland 1 v 0 Crystal Palace Arsenal 3 v 1 Swansea Stoke 3 v 0 Newcastle West Ham 1 v 2 Spurs Liverpool 1 v 2 Man City Man Utd 2 v 0 Watford

Me too. Whilst these minutes look very light in terms of detail, I imagine there's actually quite a lot of debate between the various attendee's. It just which bits they choose to publish that kills any credibility.

Yes I am I agree with what's being said. Throw the book at him. He's quite clearly not reet in the head. As for Sunderland. If we knew this was coming out and played him anyway, deduct us points. Send us down. Wouldn't put it past Byrne etc. to act this way. Wouldn't be the first time our board have been ridiculous. The two resident mackems on here are great. I work with another Mackem and he's of the same opinion. He can't believe the lack of stick Sunderland have taken for their handling of the situation.

Very interesting concept. I can't see them going bust as they're effectively getting 2% for nothing. Can't also imagine the overhead being too big to run it. Edit - what happens when the club seasons are finished and Internationals start? Do the buzz points still get collected? If so, the likes of Rooney (whose value will presumably drop now he's injured......) would be decent punts knowing he's bound to start for England.

West Ham 1-2 Sunderland Leicester 3-2 Norwich Southampton 1-2 Chelsea Stoke 2-0 Aston Villa Watford 1-2 Bournemouth West Brom 1-1 Crystal Palace Man Utd 1-3 Arsenal Spurs 3-1 Swansea

Bit sick of that journalist typing everything people say in a North Eastern accent. Just type 'my legs' not 'me legs' 'Tha reckun it meks them mor aerodeenamic like'

This. 100% this. If they've genuinely known that he's kissed an underage kid and then allowed him to return from his club suspension some serious questions need to be asked of their judgement. Surely an independent investigation at the very least?

Didn't need defenders in Janaury anyway.

I can't for the life of me understand this confidence when talking about the home games. In particular, people putting the Bournemouth game down as a sure thing. There must be some short memories on here because they played us off the park down at their place and haven't exactly struggled since. I think they are a far better football team than us.

To be smiley/relaxed to the extent that the daft cunt interviewing mentions it is a joke in itself tbqh.

What about? Seat allocation on the flight to their lads holiday Can't blame him. Probably doesn't want to be stuck next to Doumbia who'll be doing Wordsearch, cups of tea followed by sleep.

Why? Bring the big dope off the bench if you need cover. New CB - Chancel - Lascelles - This big dope on a PAYP deal. Buying two new centre half's this summer isn't preferable? Taylor is shambolic and should be shown the door. Of course it's preferable . We're talking about a club that needs a new LB (desperately) and, at least, one more CB and then cover for RB. I'm working on what I think is realistic, not preferable. If preference was available, I'd fuck the whole back four off and start again (possibly barring Janmaat).

They're gonna stay up. The new additions (very Allardyce-esque BTW) will keep them up. Actually, I'm not that arsed, as they'll have to put up with FSA football and that's worse than relegation imho.

Felt really sorry for the lad. That'll fuck him up good and proper. Yep - this could kill his career. Seriously. This sort of shit can kill kids.

What about?

I guess what I'm saying is that if you bring someone else in playing the same system I wouldn't fancy them to do much either. But yes, he should be doing more. If even just from a defensive and harrying POV rather than anything positive. Agree with that mate.

As shit as he was today (and he was fucking garbage) I'd give him a pay as you play next season, leave the cunt on the bench/in the wider squad, flog Colo and get a top class CB in alongside Chancel.

I don't think you can use the setup as an excuse at this stage. He's not been good enough and, at this stage of the season, there really are no excuses for his inability to influence our away performances. Sometimes, the player just has to look at themselves.

Not had a good away game yet.

Agree that we need to have him concerned about his french place to get him performing.

Souare has started every game at LB this season (that he's been fit/available for) so he'll be a loss to the arrogant cunt.

Him and Aarons were absolutely tragic today. Like woeful.
