Out of all the PL teams left I'd choose Sunlun every time

Quick, dry the bedsheets, pretend it never happened

Could do with a fight back from QPR but I reckon their arses will go now

Palarse 2-0 down now, it looks like it's gonna be a good night for football

Doesn't care much about the league either by the looks of it.

If, as they say, the quality in the championship is so shite....what does that make them right now :lol:

....and there it is!!

I wouldn't worry about it QPR are going to nick this one.

QPR close again

Dross championship team, that's the only reason we beat them 6-0. Showing us who the real NETD is by all accounts here.

1-1 hahaha

You're not dancing anymore!!! 1-0 Southampton Charlie Austin pelanty

Spurs away my guess

I want to see us smash these in their own back yard if not just to see that one guy with the banners sobbing. Revelled in sending us down last time and dusted off the banners last time for "bantz" when they were already down, so small time. Fuck villa and their shitty club, shitty fans and dick head of a chairman, hope he loses the plot.

2-2 on aggregate, not a bad result

I find it staggering that people would take promotion over a cup. This club has won ONE trophy in my lifetime. I'm old. Fairs cup? or you are an old bugger It's the new generation unfortunately, there brought up that the premier league is the be all and end all but in reality it's not. The football league has 92 teams in it not 20 Of course staying in the top division is the aim(whatever they call it) but it's not success, not really silverware is I'd do anything to see us win a cup, who remembers that team that finishes 17th and just stays up? Nothings guaranteed but I do feel that if we don't get promoted this year, we will eventually, it will just take longer I don't think any of us think the PL is the be all and end all, I really like the championship and I like winning almost every week much more than the PL and survival. However I know that if we don't get in PL at the first time of asking it becomes a lot more difficult the second year and even more so the third. Cup or not, I can't see Benitez sticking around if we fail for promotion. Financially his hands will be tied, we may even have to sell to bring the wage bill down. Unfortunately, financially, to the people that matter, the PL IS the be all and end all. On paper, cup every day of the week, I'd love to see us win something, but realistically, for progression, to keep Rafa, we need promotion more than we need a cup.

Heart says cup win, head says promotion. Without promotion the money would dry up and a second season in the Championship could be catastrophic.

Darlow Yedlin Mbemba Hanley Gamez Atsu Shelvey Hayden Gouffran Perez Mitrovic

I'd like to see some of the new boys given a run out with Atsu and Lazaar getting some game time, I'd also like to see Mitro and Perez start, they have good chemistry and the more game time they get together the better.

Someone had to do it! Let's put the last game to bed and win the second leg 3-0

The one thing we know about Rafa is that he'll learn from it and he'll change it, you just know Pardew would try the same thing again... and again..... and again when it's clearly not working. I hope we smash them midweek and put this to bed as quick as possible.

One none performance isn't going to make me come down any, still massively confident we will get automatic promotion and once we're top spot we'll stay there. Rafa will not let performances like this keep happening, it'll all be forgotten after our next win.

that can't be allowed to happen and he knows it.

Just a kick in the balls after midweek, I had a bad feeling about this one but expected us to beat them at home. We've not turned shit over night but today has been a massive concern by the sounds of it. We just need to put it to bed midweek, hopefully they'll be feeling over confident after beating us so easily today.

fuck this, I'm gonna go and do some actual work I'm being paid for, this is how bad it's been. Hope Rafa skins the lot of them.
