I'd rather have a reason to hate something than the apathy of Brighton being promoted, for example. It's the same reason most people have wanted Sunderland in their top 20.

Anyone who'd rather have the likes of Wigan or Hull in the PL over Leeds is just wrong.

We need the enforcer, though it would probably crush most of our gutless lot into retirement.

He was played as a nominal 10 IIRC, but had no idea where to position himself so basically played as a second striker. He was shit for us anyway but like so many before him he was not helped by the king.

That'll be those that still brainlessly believe in Pardew and lay the blame at individual players.

Fantastic. In true Pardew form he'll put this loss down as a bad day (that can happen), work rate from the flair players wasn't good enough, Zaha needs to improve.

Out of interest was there a reason you picked them other than Norway?

Palace x 1000. Though I imagine in about 10 months that will have turned to pity as they sit bottom of the league.

Arsenal shot themselves in the foot with both goals.

Giroud has his uses but far too often he spends games drifting between the great and the rancid.

Great counter, but fucking typical final third dithering from Arsenal.

It's frustrating that Barca sour their undoubted brilliance by being fundamental pussy bitch cheats.

Stuck £200 on Chelsea -1 yesterday at 11/10, seemed generous upon viewing the lineups

Is he any good? Genuinely never heard of him.

I don't think it's neccesarily the wrong thing to do, but it's certainly typical NUFC.

Benitez is just an obsessive tactician. I'd rather be dull with a plan than dull and shit.

Scrap the home and away element of the draw altogether, just draw fixtures and whichever side is lower in the football pyramid is at home.

What we need is some nutcase leader who rants and screams until people actually listen. We have none of that, our lot barely even talk to each other. No wonder Shelvey is pissed off.

Leicester are Atletico of 2 years ago. Hopefully will bounce back.

I totally disagree with you on that point. There are so many lacking elements in that squad.

Someone like Garcia or Sampaoli would come here and realise within minutes that we don't have players that are capable of playing the way they want to. The same thing that Klopp is finding at Liverpool and Garde has found at Villa. So they'll try and settle on some hybrid of what they want to do vs masking the lack of pace of Colo / lack of heart of Sissoko, etc. And what we'll get is more of the same as what we get now, occasional moments of promise shot down by regular beatings. This is a product of 5 years of flawed recruitment and shit management of those players (Thanks Alan). No players remain that fit any kind of style / formation and they look as if they don't know each others' names.

It's just possible that's cos we've had two inept, clueless managers in the last 5 years I don't care who's the fucking manager, there's no excuse as a player for not doing your job properly. Coloccini has lead these collapses for so many years, he's the main culprit.

Sacking him won't change anything. The squad is spineless. Once we go a goal down, we get blown over and it's been that way for 4/5 years.

I don't feel sorry for any one of our players, it's just spineless the lot of them. Unwilling to show any kind of fight or bottle. That's the absolute minimum required.
