I've gone right off Cabaye, like. I like the idea of him, of what he could be and how he recruits players for us. But the reality is that he's been poor most of this season. I even had that horrible "If someone bid a decent amount, I'd let him go" thought today.

You're right. Broken clock, twice a day etc. Cruel, but fair.

Wigan are safe, for me. No doubt at all. It's Pardew or Hughton.

Well this one is fairly important. FWIW, we have the ability to win and I think a similar 1st half to West Brom and West Ham could do it. But it's another week of shitting bricks and being unable to escape the mess that Pardew has put us in. Terrified of Remy tbh. Elliot Debuchy Taylor Colo MYM Tiote Cabaye Ben Arfa Sissoko Jonas Cisse .....is what he'll do, with Gouffran & Marveaux on the bench. BEAT. THOSE. PEOPLE.

Keep him at LB for next week. Debuchy - Taylor - Colo - MYM is a stable defence.

Cretin of a man. Scum of the earth. Hate him.

Interesting to see QPR's attitude today. I hope they've lost interest and leak goals. Nice one, Theo.

Southampton's loss means they have something to play for at SoL next week. That's good news. If Stoke can get something on Monday, things will be very interesting. No Sessegnon or Fletcher is massive.

Wasn't too bad. Broken clock, twice a day etc.

Pardew is a slimy cretin, his negativity continues to stagger. Shola for Ben Arfa? Gosling for Gouffran? The prick is doing this on purpose, he's loving it. West Ham were there to be beaten and yet we're sitting back in a must win game. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Our best players were Colo, HBA and Elliot with Cabaye having another stinker.

We're probably gone now. It's a freak of mathematics that every single score has gone against us for several weeks but it continues to happen. Norwich, Sunderland and Southampton have been dragged right into it now. We either need to beat QPR, Swansea to get something at Wigan or WBA to beat Norwich. Maybe just one of those, yet does anyone think we'll get that? Knowing this football club, probably not. I think it's over.

Very happy with that. Save us Hatem!

Just shouting words to scare people?

2pm - team news. D-Day!

It could also mean Ben Arfa, instead of Shola.

If that is the team, I'd be very happy with it. Of course, it depends on the strategy that goes with it.....

Shola instead of Sissoko and it's not the worst thing? Howay man - it's a disaster. Because Sissoko on the wing was working?

Considering Sissoko's form, that mightn't be the worst thing ever. Although yes, it's not ideal. At least Pardew won't stick him on the wing.

I don't think it'll be that easy. They'll probably lose McCarthy, Kone and Maloney as well as Martinez. They'd be back at their level.

Match Wigan's result and I think we're safe. Not sure how I feel about the score but I know Pardew will fuck something up come 2pm. We don't have time to mess around anymore, we need to start our 2 best players (Colo, HBA) and stay away from Jonas & Shola. Can't remember ever being so nervous for a match though, even derbies.

Surely it's a no-brainer? The league takes priority, especially if youre a Wigan. Once they go, they wont come back.

Hatem Ben Arfa at Stoke

Kanji's line up is ideal but he'll definitely fit Jonas in there somewhere. This week has been hell and next week will be even worse unless we win. I dont think we will. Really can't believe that its come to this

A draw for us and a Wigan defeat would keep us up, probably.

We just have to pray that he had an epiphany.
