I'm not even all that bothered about losing this game, the really disturbing thing is that the "Shearer Factor" seems to be zero for our players. The players are STILL playing with the same nonexistent spirit and desire they did under Houghton.

Get God damn Ameobi off the pitch, get rid of this abomination of a formation.

I'm going to say something stupid now so I'm just going to shut up and watch for the next 60 minutes.

Taylor should've made sure the can hit him and rolled around on the ground like a bitch

Guthrie-Nolan-Butt mixing up fairly well

Center midfield starting to assert itself. Good.

3-5-2 with David Edgar as a sweeper? I don't get it.

Nailed on to score then

absolutely brilliant how we still have no presence in the middle of the park despite playing three central midfielders.

I'd just like to know what kind of formation we're playing out there because I certainly can't figure it out

Well, looks like we'll have to be striker shopping in the summer. ...if we stay up.

what exactly are we playing? It vaguely appears like 4-3-3

goodbye Oba.

IMO it's been obvious for weeks that he's stopped bothering. Add up his history of antics with Nigeria and I think it's pretty apparent what kind of shit has gone on.

Seems pretty obvious from the interview that Martins is fucking us over. We just might have seen the last of him. That formation is absolutely fucking mental by the way

Come on Man U you cunts, you better fucking do this right ...

A win is neither crucial nor likely. A draw is probably what we'll get. That puts us just 2 behind Sunderland assuming they lose to ManU. Not a horrible situation to be in. If you think we need to win this to stay up you might as well consign us to relegation already because there's an ice cube's chance in hell of us beating Stoke at home with a severely depleted squad. Spurs away is an infinitely more winnable game. Like I said, if we draw and justice is done with the Mackems, we're just two points form safety. Still a very workable position. You're deluded. If we lose to Stoke and then Spurs which is more realistic than drawing either never mind winning we will potentially be rooted down there which means we could be playing catch up, which we already are to an extent. This game against Stoke represents an immediate chance to move out of the bottom 3 and close that gap providing the mackems lose of course and by a few goals. It also puts pressure on Stoke who till aren't out of it, although a win tomorrow should see that they are safe. I love how you're incapable of disagreeing with someone without calling them "deluded," "clueless," or a dirty foreigner. I'm sorry, I try not to make personal comments about other people, and I don't mind the fact that you're opinionated, but the condescending manner you address people just pisses me off sometimes.

Same here. If we are going to play a midfielder who can't get up and down the pitch, we might as well play the one who can pick a pass. Really, really bad idea. It's stunning how quickly we've all decided to crucify Nolan after a game against Arsenal and a game against Chelsea. tbf he's done f*** all since pitching up - lad needs to put in a performance man It's easy to forget that he's still only played three and a half games for us. And he did just fine at West Brom. fuckin stupid sending off counts in the negative column oldtype, it's what you do on the pitch that counts and he did that one the pitch at a time when we needed the midfielder we'd just signed right now his negatives are outweighing his positives, it's that simple as i say he NEEDS to put in a performance against stoke He played well one game, Got send off with a stupid tackle in another, Then played anonymously for two matches against top four opposition where nobody else was playing particularly well either. Writing him off already would border on insanity.

simmed this game on FIFA 09. Nolan scores a brilliant header off a Taylor corner. Ranger comes on for Carroll on the 78th minute and hits in a jammy deflection that comes off Faye () with the last kick of the game. Toon 2-0 Stoke

Chuck Norris once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him Nixon was in it. I'm just surprised that nobody has tried the seemingly obvious "Nile, Nile Ranger" Photoshop yet. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51t3KrMPlyL._SS500_.jpg I may do it myself one of these days.
