Yep he needs to come out the side. Colo's return is timely and we need one of his perfect performances when he is just on it as he helps organise the rest of the defence.

Townsend then

I just have nightmares of Remy and Taarabt and probably some other wanker like wright-phillips turning it on against us

Feel sick bout all of this. Keep trying to tell myself it's only football and that but it's a huge part of my life and I just can't believe it's got this bad

Just fucking go for it. If we try to play it all sensible and patient they will eventually score like everyone does against us anyway

Huge game. We've won here a few times (Carroll/Nolan 10/11 Owen hat trick, Martins etc)

We just need to beat QPR simple as. If stoke can do it we should be able to aswell

We need West Brom to do us a huge favour and beat Norwich and Wigan.

We just need to win 1 game and we put Norwich and Sunderland right in it. Fuck sake I wish I could just have a bit of faith that we will do what we need to.

Those twats who gave up on saturday at 3-nil haven't got a clue what that could mean in 3 games time.

17th

Problem is I still see them beating Stoke at home. Plus Southampton have really dipped and had two men sent off last game.

Villa will be fine now. Any suggestion we might still survive even if we get no more points is gone though. Simply have to take care of ourselves and get at least 4 points i would say.

he banned for 1 game or 3? those are usually 1 game right?

I was terrified before this game now I don't know what to do with myself.

sunderland have got two home games against southampton and stoke. They will be fine. We need them to win or atleast get a draw here

What a fucking goal. Rose is looking better every week

Balls

I think Perch will play left back as he has in the past. West brom away last year?

You're becoming a parody of yourself. We made Southampton, Sunderland, Liverpool and even Reading look fantastic, why would we playing as we are, not make Q.P.R. look great too. You may have noticed that we are the worst football team, with the worst defence and the worst away record in the league. Away at Q.P.R. Parody indeed. The pressure is off qpr now and that will help them...These little things are critical now. I am slightly worried about this too. Nagging feeling they will play better now but there's no basis for it because they have been useless even after being all but down for awhile anyway. I'm hoping it will go the other way and hardly any fans will turn up and the players are on holiday and can't be arsed.

We're going to have nearly everyone fit bar Santon, possibly Marveaux and obviously some squad players like R.Taylor and Vuckic. He's been moaning about injuries all season but now he has a near enough strongest team to put out. No excuses if we're positive we can get the results.

Photoshopped

Been thinking back to the Stoke game in march where Pardew said something like "I think we are done" regarding relegation worries and also this from Marveaux http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8557181/Newcastle-s-Sylvain-Marveaux-says-everyone-is-relieved-at-being-close-to-safety I think this, and post fulham the players completely switched off which is bad form from pardew. Just hope they can turn in a performance on saturday because we're on the brink.

I don't think the players realised the shit they were in then Mick (as stupid as that sounds) but surely with the extra pressure now on them to get something plus West Ham and QPR having nothing to play for apart from wanting to beat us we should expect our players to be more fired up and motivated than the opposition.
