I don't want Haidara playing in this game. I don't think he's anywhere near ready.

No Shola surely means De Jong then? Or Hatem in that awful 'false 9' style thing again.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a back five actually.

I wonder if we've decided to throw young Armstrong in?

Arsenal's team look like they've had a night on the booze and a heavy fry-up.

All the 3pm Championship teams to score Danny Ings FGS Southampton, Crystal Palace, Swansea/Cardiff draw - acca Burnley, Leicester, Blackpool, Brighton - acca

I reckon MYM might be dropped in alongside Anita, but in reality he'll be shoulder to shoulder with Williamson and Terry Fuckwitt in the centre of defence.

Streete Fighter

Christ, they're dropping like flies. Be nee fucker left before long.

Pardew has to be diplomatic though surely? "Joe was a massive useless cunt and I for one am glad to see the piss-stained old soak fuck off, hopefully to a retirement home where they beat the elderly"

Anyone see Preston v Notts Forest? Preston were absolutely conned by the ref. There were four pen shouts in the last twenty minutes and three of them were absolutely nailed on - they got none.

this must be class for the journos, cos they can say he did any stupid mad old shit and it a) looks credible and b) is hilarious

Useless cunt belongs in a Right Said Fred tribute group, not refereeing top level games. "England's best referee" my arse. That said, another shambling performance from Howard will suit Pardew down to the ground as it handily overshadows what will undoubtedly be another listless, gutless and clueless performance from the lads.

Here's one. Would you rather Llambias came back or gamble on who Ashley might bring in (or not)?

Paying a low wage for someone to do nothing > Paying nothing for nobody

We having a punt on who the new Director of Fuckall will be? I'm gonna plump for Dave Bassett.

I hope the cunt never finds employment in a footballing capacity ever again. He's too under-qualified to be the kit man at Raggy Arse Rovers. Nice quiet retirement please Joe, you fucking unkempt shit.

Got some small stakes on heavy wins for Denver tonight, 19pts minimum and higher reward the heavier the win. (don't know what I'm doing dog scientist)

I reckon the events of the last week will stop a fair few from renewing tbh.

That was the worst aspect of our game today. Dummett got beyond his man twice today and fizzed it across the area, one won a corner and the other a scramble which could have gone anywhere. That's what I would prefer to see more often than not; the fucking chipped back stick crosses should be summat like one in every eight or nine to mix it up a bit.

The poor fucking bastard. I felt sorry for him.

Allardyce froze him out too tbf. The one thing he got right.

Apathy has set in for me, couldn't even bring myself to get that annoyed.

Fucking cunt. That is all
