The Nolan-Barton "this group of lads" ethos is far more important to the team than any individual player. (Even ) We need him for the foreseeable. In the meantime, 15-odd goals a season from midfield isn't bad.

Korean club Jeju United are offering a "Home Match Recall" system for the 2011/2012 season. All paying fans who witness a home loss get free entry to the next match if they show their ticket stub at the gate. ST holders get an extra ticket as well. Granted, they were unbeaten at home last season, but I don't think I've ever seen a team actively jinxing their own season like this

Oba just took or Europa league ticket and kicked it into little pieces.

How? If City (or Liverpool *shudder*) win the Europa League. So if Arsenal had won and Liverpool won the Europa, we could've gotten to Europe with EIGHTH? That just made me sadder

Man, this basically just ended our season. Well, not completely, but almost.

we're not even 7th at the minute man I've been dreaming of playing FC Yakshaggers away on Wednesday nights for weeks now though. This has pretty much ended our season

I'm honestly devastated like, really thought we were going to Europe.

It was nice thinking about it while it lasted guys.

Oba steals our European place. Poetic.

Damnit, Birmingham are going to win, aren't they? And we're going to finish 7th

Liverpool will finish the season sixth. It'll just happen because the world is boring and terrible like that.

Please, just stop with this.

Not just booting it away seems like an even worse decision looking at the photo.

Arsenal better win today. Don't want Birmingham to spoil our European hopes

And you sir, are just so completely wrong. The very existence of this post is an affront to humanity.

What is Honda actually supposed to be good at? He has an average passing range, no engine, no defensive qualities to speak of, rarely scores from open play. Takes great set pieces but that only gets you so far. Poor (Asian) man's Joey Barton.

probably does deserve a start but in the past he has faded badly when he's hadt o play 90 minutes. Tough call.

Off by a tiny bit but definitely off. Same for Best in the first half.

Let him? You'd have to get in line just to beg.

No. If Saylor is going to replace anyone it's Williamson. Absolutely no reason to replace Simpson. Williamson did very well today too. No need to break up any part of that defense.

I'm finally willing to start liking him. I suppose failing at the League 1 level gave him the wakeup call he needed to make himself a better manager. Literally cannot fault anything he's done.

No.

Also lost to Blackpool and Stoke at St James. What a daft post. Er how? The theme of the post I was responding to was about points we've dropped in games we might have expected more from. By your logic Man United should have won every single match this season and would be standing on top of the table with 81 points.

Robbed. Should have had a pen and the linesman had no right to spot both of those hairline offsides correctly.

fucking linesman is too good at spotting borderline offside.
