2-0 to the home side.

Came in here to say this.

Yes, Coloccini had a dip in form, didn't he? And he was dropped for Edgar at Stoke. Ameobi had a shit game at Stoke and he hasn't figured since, wasn't even on voyage yesterday. Do you see why people don't agree? Owen is still living off that late-season surge under Keegan. It's fair enough to say players have a dip in form - but we can't afford to accomodate it at the moment. We're on a knife edge and can't afford to carry passengers. I agree with you that he isn't finished btw, just find it baffling how you think he'll find some form. He won't, not this season.

Beye, Bassong and Krul are the only ones (excluding frees ofc).

Why do we let this obsessed cunt steer every thread down the same fucking path? It's a joke.

I agree with what you're saying but it won't happen. People are so irritated at SJP now due to the Ashley/Keegan/Wise/Kinnear debacle that even one missed chance or one wayward pass gets the whole crowd into negative mode.

There was a few on that link that were doing "to finish 17th" as well, although I don't know whether betfair were doing that or not.

It can't be anything like last season's Pompey (h) game. That was fucking surreal.

On that oddschecker link, betfair don't have any odds listed for "To Stay Up", Mowen.

Only in the Keegan-style 433. As someone said recently (might have been bobyule) - if his name was Joe Bloggs he'd be on the bench.

He's a bald tosspot, I agree. Chancer.

Every other team this season has had the "we've got rid of that gimp and straight away we get a few good results" effect, except us. Notable: Paul Hart, Ricky Sbragia, Sam Allardyce, Harry Redknapp, Guus Hiddink, Gianfranco Zola. But not Shearer.

Our midfield three was far too narrow when we tried to defend. Huddlestone had an excellent pass, he sprayed the ball over to the other wing countless times and there was loads of gaps for the Spurs players to exploit. Nolan in particular was a fucking shambles, Butt gets a partial pardon for sprinting half the length of the pitch to make a shit tackle. Nolan just didn't bother at all. He's a fucking waste of space, the fat fucker needs to be peddled, even if we go down.

When it comes to Nolan, his fitness is irrelevant. If he's able to be stretchered on to lie down on half-way, he's qualified to put in a better performance. so true.

Is the correct answer.

And hopefully, after a rather ineffectual display, people will stop banging on about that Mini Cheddar lad who plays up front for Man United.

By my reckoning: Stoke (h) 2 points lost... Given Wigan (h) 2 points lost... Given Man U (a) 2 points lost... Given West Ham (h) 2 points lost... Given Man City (h) 2 points lost... Given Man U (h) 3 points lost... Harper I make that 11 points, must have missed a game somewhere. No real correlation tbh. Given was in goal v West Ham according to .com. Post fixed. ^

He's the least of our worries right now. The fact we currently have no left-back fit to play, a midfield that's about as quick and creative as my small intestine and no-one who can take a set piece right. Another post match shit thread. Jesus wept.
