I still don't think we're actually that good, like. No idea how we're top That was another stinker.

First good captain in a loooong long time, thanks to Zlatan Just brought him in this week, so he covers the fact that only 9 are playing and Benteke got -1.

Ahhh you're right. And merry xmas.

Merry Christmas to all, been a mad year and especially for NUFC. Hope everyone has a great day..... except Pardew. Fuck Pardew.

Pardew made me feel feelings that I never want to feel again. Will never forgive him for that. So his yuletide sacking makes this the merriest Christmas of all :indi:

It was asked somewhere on Twitter the other day who the most overrated PL player is. Barkley came straight to mind. Still better than Sissoko though.

8th is probably right but how are Sunderland that high?

Dave Kitson? More like Dave ITKson

Some strange gaps between the 3 Christmas games. Chelsea have the best spread (5 day gap, then 4 days), but the majority are either (5,2) or (6,2). Southampton play on 28th, 31st and 2nd - 3 times in 5 days! Then you have Boro v Leicester at 12:30 on Mon 2nd, less than 48 hours after their Sat 3pm games.

Tony Barrett ‏@TonyBarrett 2h2 hours ago This time last year, Alan Pardew claimed English managers are "regarded as an underclass." If it wasn't for those pesky results.............

Delph's contract was about to expire but he signed a new deal with an £8m release. So maybe he shouldn't have declared his love for Villa (although you'd kinda have to in that situation), but he could easily have walked out for free. The issue is that he must've known he'd be bench fodder.

If they need to raise money to buy players, they won't sell their best player for just £5m.

David Ornstein ‏@bbcsport_david 52s53 seconds ago Steve Parish tells me #CPFC "in a rut", expansive style hasn't worked & "going to wind the dial back the other way" http://tl.gd/n_1spfbo3 Winding it the other way from 'complete shite'. Interesting approach.

Warnock, Pulis, Pardew, Allardyce. Quite the sequence

I think that, on reflection, I'm... *CLAP CLAP* GLAD ALL OVER. YES I'M... *CLAP CLAP* GLAD ALL OVER

Pardew gave us a late Xmas present in 2014 and an early one in 2016. A Fat Sam team with Benteke up front is so perfect, it almost brings tears.

Can't help but be delighted, although it's a real shame he didn't get them into the bottom three first. And how on earth has this forum not gone down yet? :lol:

Greatest day ever, truly. Merry Christmas Pards, hope you choke on a sprout you absolute cunt of a man.

He's good, yet not for us right now.

Hope not

Couple of great Xmas jumpers there Howe and Trading Places too! He's back to his best.

That must hurt Wolfsburg's pride, being turned down by the Huddersfield Town boss

They can consider all they want, it's not like Benteke is their problem at all.

:lol:

If we limited our squad to non-cuntish players, we'd struggle. Everyone would
