Mym played well today

Nervous defending we are gonna concede soon, needed that second so badly.

Did the cheap commentator not see the challenge. Offs Elliot is making me shit myself.

Long always seems to play well against us.

Except the wig an game other results not going in our favour so simply can't afford to let this slip.

That's never a foul but if you give it it's a pen.

Elliot though looks like he's gonna cost us a goal here.

That's a fucking foul on the keeper offs.

Needless from Taylor hope it doesn't cost us.

Waiting now for pardews trade mark motivational half time team talk

That's gonna cost us the win here and possibly more. Terrible miss from cisse. We need a second here.

If they lose to Qpr and fail to beat Norwich I agree with you. Two massive games for them.

Can't say I did check the form in too much detail other than knowing our own woeful away form, 1 win away all season, doesn't fill me with any confidence that we'll get anything on Saturday. I probably am over rating others and under rated us, like I said I'm a pessimistic bastard where NUFC is concerned, too many times have we found ways to fuck things up in the past to find any hope we won't do it again.

Would you expect all of those things to happen together though? And would you have said before Sunderland that it was the only game we had a chance of getting points in? I expect Norwich to beat Reading at home taking them 38 pts. I expect Stoke to beat Norwich at home (or QPR away), to take them to 37 pts. I expect Aston Villa to beat Sunderland at home taking them to 37pts. I expect Sunderland to beat Stoke at home taking them to 37 pts. I expect Wigan to beat Swansea (on their hols) and Aston Villa at home taking them to 37 pts. All those teams may pick up additional points too of course. While we need to improve a lot on the Sunderland game at home and do something about our away form to even get one more point this season. I said before the Fulham game that, that and and Sunderland ones were the only games I could see us winning between now and the end of the season. We are not drawing games, when we go away from home we lose, the two home games we have left look extremely tough on paper and both teams are better than the shower of s**** that thumped us on Sunday. QPR away is our best chance of getting anything, West Brom don't have a lot to play for but I'm sure they will be less nervous and are in better form than s right now. West Ham are still not clear and Alardyce, Carroll and Nolan will need to motivation to want to beat us. Stoke and Norwich have much worse form than us, but you expect them to win games while you think we won't even get another point, why? Look who Stoke are playing and where they are playing them, Norwich at home ! Norwich are playing Reading at home. Those two games could be crucial to our season, I don't see Reading taking any points off anyone they are f***ing awful and it's a disgrace that they took 4 pts from us this season. Yes Stoke are playing at home, where they have only 5 points from their last 6 games, but you expect them to win. Meanwhile we're playing West Brom and QPR away where we have 4 points in our last 6 games but those games are a right off apparently.. There are 3 teams right now who are in awful form, Stoke, Norwich and Reading. If two of them meet, who do you give the advantage to ? Me I give it to the home team. Even if Stoke just get a draw from that game, you've got to back them to get a draw at QPR where they will just park the bus, as opposed to us who will go there to win no doubt. Stoke's GD is way better than ours, thanks largely to the tonkings at Man Shitty and against the mackems. It could all go down to whether us having a go at QPR yealds a better result than Stoke's park the bus tactics, away from home neither sides has worked well in 2013.

Oh and Teasy compare, West Brom's home form with our away form, I doubt that looks so rosey.

A 1-1 at HOME to Sunderland would have gone a LONG way to make us safe. Yep and put them in serious shit. Now we've just gone and given them 3 pts and a huge boost to their confidence.

I know I'm a pessimistic bastard so to balance things out, if we beat West Brom on Sunday, we'll be safe IMO, it's just one win we need and maybe a draw or two. The confidence a victory away from home will give us should be enough to see us through the rest of the season.

The problem is, it's difficult to find where those two draws will come from. Our last two home games are against teams who have been in as good form as anyone over recent weeks and are both regarded as "big teams". Away from home we are pushovers, our away form is pathetic and embarrassing. The games against WBA, West ham and QPR are all fixtures our squad of players should be targeting something from, but with our clueless manager and the way we play away from home, those games look like write offs. All the other teams at the bottom have games they look likely to win and most of the teams directly below us seem to be showing signs of a fight Sunderland, Wigan and Villa. While Stoke and Norwich both have much easier home games than we do and you would expect them to push past 36 points. I honestly can see us not gaining another point all season and we'll be down with that kind of form.

This could be a huge game for us, need to avoid defeat, really could use a win, don't see either happening

Hopefully this deal doesn't effect the Canadian deal, I'm pretty happy with Sportsnet's coverage, we get every game in full, they've got 3 channels that allows them to show 3 live games concurrently, they also cover eurpa league, champs league and internationals.

Mine based on us picking up a point at home to Liverpool and a point away to QPR, we could pick up another point at WBA or West Ham but difficult to see where other points are coming from. Had us finishing 17th with Villa down on 35 points, I probably overestimated Wigan but the jammy bastards look like they are doing what they do had them finishing on 42 points. [/img]

We've deserved what we got from the game. Mackems played well with the limited players they have, the sacking of O'Neill has saved them, and hurt us considerably.

Benny looking like he's been out for a while.
