Having a go at the old board does not equal exonerating the new board. Having a go at Keegan does not equal exonerating Ashley. Having a go at Martins does not equal exonerating Owen. Why this fails to compute for some people on here so often I'll never know.

it's us or Sunderland imo. The other teams are safe.

You have no brain matter whatsoever. is all I have to say to that insult. I don't know what you've got against me mate, but this is the last time I'll be responding to you.

I've honestly forgotten what winning a match feels like. I suppose it would be nice.

what fucks me up is how we lost the three "top 4" home games the exact same way. Stage 1: "Oooh, playing well" Stage 2: "shit, bad mistake" Stage 3: "fuck, Colo."

He's the exact opposite of a "luxury" player. He's a player who'll probably get you around the same amount of goals regardless of the kind of service he's getting because he's capable of making himself chances out of nothing, but not capable of putting it away when he's given stuff on a plate. The lad is utterly and completely random. Randomness is not something you need in a relegation scrap. Biggest myth going, most of his goals are normal goals that have been set up for him, he's actually a decent finisher but doesn't help himself by never being in the positions. And the complete lack of service renders him ineffective in the final 3rd 95% of the game, same with Owen, neither are willing to scrap and that is what we need. I don't agree with any of the statements in that post.

f*** me that looks bad Does it? Beat Stoke next week, Sunderland lose to Man U and we're closer to survival. fuck me that looks bad

surely Southgate is sacked now?

Harper Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique Duff Nolan Guthrie Guttierez Own Any one of our many s*** tall strikers Never did I think I'd voluntary suggest Steven Taylor at CB again. But oh well.

He played Malouda onside The amount of times he screws up the defensive lime is staggering for a defender of his supposed "intelligence"

Wish Shearer could beat the shit out of some of these players in the changing room.

Coloccini this is getting beyond a joke now. At least Harper seems to be back up to match fitness

He's either lost interest in our club and can't be bothered anymore, or he's suffering from a deadly case of "not-the-same-player-he-used-to-be-itis" that seems to go around these parts. Either way, he's lost form at the absolute worst fucking time possible.

And he's the only striker we have with any actual pace. He's actually not even that fast anymore.

right down to us and the mackems then. At least it'll be interesting.

A bit of an overreaction, but his play since coming back from injury has certainly been Ali Dia-esque

You're not the only one. Can't for the life of me understand the resistance to it. The next time some caveman starts bleating at me about how "bad calls are part of the game," I'm going to beat them over the head with a 20-pound tuna.

Because he's knackered and not playing well.

And you know the rule, when it's hard to call always give it in favour of the big teams........ They're also inherently biased to play it safe and not give it. 90% of the time it's not actually over the line and you don't want to be caught giving a "phantom goal"

that's fine, it's impossible to call those goal-line clearances properly.

ah why the fuck are Blackburn and Stoke both winning

This statement never goes well on these forums, but Oba's been fucking shocking since coming back from the hernia op.

Guthrie on, that's the first time I've seen us make a good sub in yonks.

Chelsea putting the kids on now I see
