It's like there's some kind of rule that they always have to appoint the least likable manager possible.

We haven't won a derby under Pardew so far have we? Ryan Taylor over the wall

Derby's going to be ridiculous now. "So yeah, the fans will hate you if you lose this. Oh, and it's also a relegation six-pointer. No pressure though."

It's staggering that we're making an operating profit. If you'd asked me a few years ago I would've thought it would be about as unlikely as us making the Champions League.

Could do worse for a Shola replacement.

That Lee Dong-Gook from Boro could still be starting up front for you.

This match really shouldn't change your opinion about Pardew one way or another.

Suicide time

I'm half expecting Raylor to come off the Wigan bench and score this

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Might as well try hoofing at this point given that the alternative isn't working at all

Just remembered it was Cattermole playing for Wigan who put Beye out for most of the season and indirectly contributed to our relegation

Because our manager hasn't a clue at playing quality football. Wigan always destroying us predates Pardew by about half a decade.

Standing ovation for Mcmanacunthole Sit down you absolute shitbags

Norwegian prison is too good for the cunt.

Jesus Christ, you can hear Haidara's scream on the replay. I want to shoot that cunt and the ref.

Nigel De Jong all over again. Fucking shit.

What's the worst fucking thing you can inflict on a human leg. Given our luck that's probably what it is.

Danny Simpson starting again next week. Fucking unbelievable.

Welcome to all the Benfica fans. While I would've preferred an easier draw, this is one of the good parts of being drawn against one of the big European sides. Just realized the last time I saw this was in 2006 against Fenerbache. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

How hard would it be to get a ticket for the finals? I'm sure me getting one off the club would be out of the question, but surely there are plenty of "neutral" tickets going around?

Would be good to get Basel. They have a Korean player so both ties would be on TV here.

It's called "Steven Taylor: Geordie Hero" mode. I love it.

Would be brilliant if he wins us a cup and becomes a legend forever within months of most of us having wanted him sacked.

How absolutely fucking shit would it be to go out in the quarters to Spurs or Chelsea
