That was honestly terrible keeping from Krul.

Why am I staying up at 3:45 in the morning to watch us lose to Chelsea's second string again?

Krul, Kadar, Campbell, Coloccini, Taylor, Jonas, Tiote, Guthrie, Ben Arfa, Ameobi, Lovenkrands

yes, if it wins a trophy. god man, so many people complain we haven't won a trophy is donkeys, then treat this competition with comptempt. Good point actually, the two cups represent the only realistiic opportunity smaller cups have to fluke a trophy in this day and age.

Makes me think. If Perch doesn't get any better and Simpson isn't coming back anytime soon, should we do a Maradona and play him at right back?

I think it's decent as an opportunity for bleeding in younger players on the fringe of the squad. Of course it's pretty useless when you have no youth talent to speak of, as we did up to a few years ago, but now I appreciate the fact that we'll get to bring on the likes of Vuckic and Ranger alongside regular first-teamers in a high profile environment.

Fact of the matter is that most of us just decide at some point what we think of a certain player and everything we see of him from that point on is just filtered to match those conclusions. i.e. Milner can't cross, Given has terrible kicking, Nolan is unfit and slow I'm not saying that Nolan is amazing or anything, just that football fans tend to interpret performances to fit their conclusions, rather than the other way around. For all we know the Prozone stats could say that Nolan covers the most out of anybody in the squad. (I doubt it, but hey, anything's possible)

The man is 5ft, 11 inches of pure, concentrated black power.

This match is like an N-O poster's wet dream. Tiote and Ben Arfa start, Harper gets injured to make way for Krul, Ben Arfa scores a fucking ridiculous goal on his debut. Too bad Nile Ranger isn't on the bench.

Fully expect him to be the next Bobby Robson after every win and the next Glenn Roeder after every loss in this thread, so whatever.

He's better than anything we have up front, evidently. Jason Roberts, Marlon King, Cameron Jerome, Daniel Cousin, DJ Campbell. It's something of a proud tradition really.

We've gone through this exact same conversation how many times since summer 2007?

Thank you NUFC, for reminding me what club I support. Move on to next week.

I'm going to have a grand time this week watching this thread go to hell and the relegation-o-meter bumped back up to page one.

This is retarded. That's all I have to say.

Oh well, beat villa 6-0, lose at home to blackpool. That's football I suppose. Perhaps we'll get something against Everton and have them feeling like we're feeling today.

Losing at home to the worst team in the Prem is something like a yearly event now. Probably would have handed Portsmouth 6 points in a basket if we weren't in the Championship last year.

I hate people who but right now I'm just going to have to

Derby-Hull-Blackpool It's like the new unholy triumvirate after Partizan-Lisbon-Alkmaar

About to pull the trigger on FSC.tv. This is a joke. Consider yourselves lucky for even having the option.

It's going to be a shame if we don't win this. I really enjoyed the three weeks without anyone saying "we're going down"

BRING BACK THE RELEGATIONOMETER

Oh look, they got a penalty. And I can't even watch this and feel properly miserable about it.

Dear Premiership, You know what? I would f***ing pay 20 quid just for decent quality official stream of this match. Do you f***ing IDIOTS just not like money? Is that it? Hugs and kisses, oldtype

Don't bring that turncoat c*** into this. lol Still can't believe we gave up him and cash for fucking Michael Owen
