Hoping for a draw here really, spuds win wouldn't be next choice, would like to see us put some daylight between us and Liverpool but a draw would drive us closer to 3rd, not that I think we will finish there, but a man can dream!!

Like someone said earlier, the table doesn't lie, if you asked me this question when we were 3rd earlier in the season I would have laughed it off as overperformance, but we've stood the test of time now and proven that even when we play badly we can still grind out results with hard work, determination and that never say die attitude we've grown into. Previous seasons (relegation season as case and point) saw us roll over toe up when the pressure was on, but since we got relegated we never give up, Arsenal 4-4 game being a perfect example. All the top teams, Manyoo included (even 5-10 years ago) struggle to get a grip on some games but with resilience and positive attitude have ground out results. We need to stay in and around the top 7 until the end of the season to assure our top players we are going somewhere and back that up with a few quality additions in the summer, then yes, why can't we crash the "big 4s" party?? Europe next season would be the stepping stone we need though, onwards and upwards!!

Took my daughter to a cheerleading competition today in Blackpool and who was there... none other than Wes Brown, glad I chose to wear my NUFC shirt today, dirty mackem!! Oh yeah and his team got beat by us too, bonus.

Ah well, you win some, you lose some, Manyoo got battered 6-0 earlier in the season, we took a pasting and we need to come back out fighting, we're still 6th thanks to the racist giro collectors and when the Arse fuck it up tomorrow we'll be no better or worse off. We just need to be professional and not let this have a knock on effect, learn from our mistakes.

That's what you call not giving up the ghost, absolutely unreal how much spirit this team has, now lets make it count and put this game to bed!

GET IN!!!!

No more replica gear, no more matches, don't even think I'll bother watching any more matches on TV or anything. Life has enough aches, pains and strains without the fat bastard pissing me off at every opportunity! Too much drama in life to be inflicted by this any longer. Will look for results but not much else now.

bollocks to that, why should we welcome this weasel to our club when he's been happy to play along with the underhanded tactics to remove Hughton, and why should we be willing to accept this appointment is a step up from Hughton when all he has ever managed to do with a Premiership team is take them down, TWICE! Useless, hopeless appointment and an insult to Hughton and the work he has done with the club. Pardew will never be welcome and will NEVER get my support, end of...

He lashed out, doesn't matter how hard he hit him or even if he made contact, he lashed out, should have been a red, but got away with it... for now

Barton you fool, why would he do that??? He should know better than anyone he'll be more heavily scrutinised than anyone else, I can see at least a 1 match ban for that, probably more!

send him off, divin bastard

you fukin beauty, get a grip on this now and turn the screw!!

I've only got 2 words to say to that first half, F%^*ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!! More of the same please lads, keep the pressure up and we could have another Villa game on our hands, dishing out more of that humble pie that's owed from 2 seasons ago...

YOU FUCKING BEAUTY!!!!! It would have been a travesty for us to throw this away. Hold on for the wistle guys, HOLD ON!

This game is giving me a serious case of squeeky bum

Usual sketchy 20mins, so long as we can get through this period without conceeding I think we'll get the game back in control........... I hope!

Ranger just lost all credit after that sitter

Excellent build up play and well composed finish.... GAME ON!!

climbed to 5th in the table, nice.

Relegation my arse! What a shrewd bit of business again for Ben Arfa, he looks complete class and Tiote was excellent in the middle.

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This, never have I heard such bias in a game, it's disgusting!

how many times does Fellaini have to lash out before he gets a red card? Dirty bastard!!

On a plus side a point is a good result away from home, keep up with this pace and we will easily survive

I've never seen such a biased game from a ref, how were there only 7 yellows for Wolves and no reds?? No doubt Motd will say we were the lucky ones somehow? Even the live commentary was so anti-nufc I had to mute it. F**king tossers!! What a shite way to play a football match, the Netherlands would be proud!
