As much as I would love to get one over on these inbreds, I can't see it the way we're shaping up with injuries. They're a good side - hard working and know how to pass the ball about. 1 or 2 nil I reckon. Pardew needs his head examined if Santon doesn't play some part in this fixture.

Unfortunately. Can see them doing well in the cup this year.

Skirge and thomas - superb avatars chaps

Absolutely. The guy's not even being a chance to acclimatise even by way of sub appearances. Absolutely inexplicable why he's not being a fair crack of the whip. Its a fucking joke tbh.

Just out of interest, how many minutes has Santon played for us since he joined?

Jesus. He doesn't half like the cloggers ol'Pards.

Who else would you have played at CB though? There's no one, unless you count reserve/youth players. You're right unfortunately, there really is no other option atm. Was a risk not bringing in another CB in the summer.

The most irritating thing about this is that these twats were here for the taking.

The quicker we get shot of that fucktard Perch the better. Awful player.

Injury to Colo? What happened?

Surely we've got to see Santon - even if from the bench - this week.

From whats been said he's training but clearly isn't involved in much of the full contact training. Ligament injuries are a bugger though. That's what I thought. I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere that he was training. Oh well. Thank fuck Guthrie's in form atm.

Is Tiote actually training? Can't say I've seen many of the training pics lately.

Mum's cock.

Gonna be a shit final ffs.

Fair play to Palace, played very well. Man Yoo's lot were fucking shite.

Palace fans have been great to be fair. Sure I heard them singing a Speed song earlier an'all

That Diouf is shocking like.

Still, good news Smith is training with the reserves. Hopefully we won't see him for the rest of his contract.

Just saying to the wife what a lovely lovely man he seemed to be. Never controversial, a quiet, well spoken and intelligent man, a fantastic professional and a fucking good player.

Agreed. Absolutely tragic. The game has lost a genuine gent, professional, and idol, who I've no doubt was becoming a top top manager. Very very saddened by this news. RIP Gary, thoughts go out to his family.

I used to hate him - but in recent years, if you listen to what he has to say, he comes across as being a fairly decent bloke imo. Honest, a little whingy, but a family man with a love for footy. His main problem is that he has an eminently punchable face.

Used to love watching Battistuta, what a player. Used to adore Gazetta on a Saturday morning too - tea, bacon sarnie and football Italia. Such a shame it's not on any more, was a great show. James Richardson really knew his stuff an' all.
