Things can only get better...

I'd say yes if I was remotely confident in Ashley/Llambias making a good appointment. The thought of who Pardew's successor could be fills me with incredible amounts of fear.

The majority of the players out there today were a fucking disgrace. I have absolutely no faith in Pardew turning this round now. It's gone on too long now. We've shown absolutely no indication that we'll break out of this rut. This season.

i'd put s*** tactics in before the lack of investment, we have a team capable of winning the last 3 games. Definitely.

Yes, that means Williamson plays on Wednesday I don't think I can stomach it.

So Taylor's injured then?

And Tiote gets a yellow.

Why is Sammy Ameobi anywhere near the first team squad?

Southampton on course to keep their first clean sheet this season. You couldn't make it up.

How did he keep that out man? Fucking hell.

This next 45minutes are the most important this season by a mile. We either react and get our act together or we're on a very, very slippery slope. Lads, if you care, now is the time to show it.

Don't even joke about him.

I think Ba has trapped the ball successfully once all game. Cisse might as well not be playing. Absolutely nowhere to be seen. Having to watch Williamson is cruel. Simpson plays as well as you'd expect from a person with such a limited mental capacity. Gutierrez has been awful. On the upside, we're only one down.

Who in their right mind would want to manage us though?

How can none of our players cross a ball with any degree of competency?

Yeah, lets hoof the ball forward to all of our players with supreme aerial ability.

Well, we're not winning this now.

Krul and Williamson. What a pair of jokers.

Aaaawful first touch as well, again.

Williamson must win EVERY header in training from freekicks with aplomb. There's no other explanation.

And he does it again. Give me strength.

Fucking hell. Demba Ba. Couldn't trap a bag of cement at the minute.

Who's this co-commentator? What a dickhead.

Ba's first touch.
