Pilko

That's the top reason I'm glad he's retired. I was so sick of some other sides (normally the mackems) facing a team containing the likes of Gibson, Macheda, Eagles et al and we'd get the best possible eleven every single time, even if they had a massive game merely days later.

Can we swap that laddie in the bed for Obertan?

Leroy Rosenior seems to know enough about football to be better than Steve Claridge's deputy for Boring Manish Presents Crap Goals.

And make a mask out of the best smug Pardew face you can find on Google images.

I think we'll fall behind early on but either claim a 1-1 or a late 2-1 win. They're a good team.

It will be away, cos I will be able to attend if it's a home game and it never fucking is in the third round for us. I reckon Port Vale away. Who cares, we will get Arsenal or Chelsea in round four anyway.

I do actually agree with what he said today about 'different types of wins'. We've had an under the cosh style one at Spurs, a contain and then attack second half one against Chelsea, two fairly ground out gritty wins at home vs Norwich and WBA and then one based today upon keeping possession. Hopefully this gives him a bit of confidence that the team have a few strings to their bow and that he can pick a team to win each game, instead of just starting the same 11 because we won last time out. They say never change a winning team, but I don't think that's always the case. There's always room for improvement unless you've just hammered a team six nowt or something, and we don't exactly do that much.

I didn't think he looked much cop first half but he improved very quickly, good showing overall. One of his touches out on our left side in the first half was like Carlton Palmer, it went about six feet away.

A Fulham win tomorrow and they're 5 points adrift of everyone else with a far worse GD.

Dead in the North Sea. Cut adrift, much like their team.

Tell you what, there's some serious money to be made backing the other team as soon as the Mackems score. Happens nearly every week.

Gus giveth... and then Gus taketh away

Tell you what, Shola's running down of stoppage time in the corner was the most Sheareresque thing he's ever done.

Another defeat from a winning position at home must surely completely bugger all mental strength these troglodytes have left... howay Spurs.

Well, at least we got a consistent decision - both not given, one for and one against.

Palace getting the new manager bounce that the mackems just didn't get, for once. Class.

Was absolutely garbage on Wednesday, back to his best today.

We do, but I think we often get a lot of soft ones given against us as well as the ones that are fair game. That fucking Januzaj is almost as bad as Ashley Young for throwing himself over. What a little scrote.

Fucks sake, was going so well till Fatty Nolan got sent off.

I think he'll come in for Cabaye next time out with Sissoko moving central.

Tremendous today. He's looking very dependable at the moment and long may it continue. I think his organisational qualities are invaluable at the back.

was class. I loved Ben Arfa's block on Moyes.

Did very well and I think he was introduced around the right time too.

Shola and Hatem did fantastically at that.
