What is going on?

I do think the Payet/Cabella/Thauvin side of things is probably the most compelling. Thing is, that doesn't mean it's the only thing we've done wrong. Imagine what's in our files, man.

Watch the points dedication take us below the play-offs.

@SkySportsNewsHQ 5m5 minutes ago BREAKING: Newcastle's St James' Park and West Ham's London Stadium have been raided as part of a police investigation #SSNHQ

Little stat for you: Brighton have lost only 13 of their last 90 league games.

Really? I have the tightest hamstrings in the world and I'm far from explosive. All cats have four legs, therefore my dog is a cat.

he was at newcastle before he went to carlisle? "However, he was released as a teenager by hometown club Newcastle United and began his professional career with Carlisle United in 1978." Wiki, admittedly.

Sat in away corporate seats for this...

Darlow Yedlin Lascelles Clark Dummett Ritchie Diame Shelvey Atsu Perez Murphy Plz.

Elliot Yedlin Hanley Clark Dummett Shelvey Diame Ritchie Perez Atsu Gayle Please.

If anyone has no connection to any of the other teams listed I would love it if you would all vote for Felling Magpies. This is my lads teams. They would benefit from the money along with 2 other groups from the same club. 1000 quid buys a lot of stuff for a grassroots football team! Done.

No, Shearer would have scored from there.

Despite the fact it was his own fault he was in that position. He's absolutely woeful, I've defended him a few times but he's genuinely s***. He has his faults, no doubt. That catapult thing he does, where he has to wind up to swing a foot and pass the ball, drives me nuts. He's poor as a full back, no doubt. Offers nothing going forward. But he's an excellent tackler.

Genuinely felt that he fluffed the pass on the second chance out of spite after the bollocking he got on the first one.

He'll get banned and Lynch will get off scott free. Just watch.

Not been mentioned, but what a fucking fantastic block tonight. He's an excellent last-ditch tackler, IMO.

Thought we were quite good going forward, but utterly woeful at the back. Weird performance.

Can see him walking.

1-3

Absolutely, utterly woeful tonight.

5/10. We won't go up via the play-offs, squad does not have the mentality. We could replay the play off final for a million years, and we'd lose each time. We have to go up automatically. At the minute, I'd say we have a 50% chance of doing that. We're one break of Shelvey's leg away from that not happening.

Potentially leaked this story to put pressure on Palace?

"YAHHH" (interrupting other person's sentence) "DEY'VE BEEN POOHR" x 90 minutes I'm not from the toon so only listen occasionally but isn't he the one from Belfast? If so its not really his fault like he's probably considered a chipper optimist in Northern Ireland. Dublin. But yeah, I'm from N. Ireland. He'd be the life and soul of the party over here.

Sels - 6 - typical Sels performance. No horrible blunders, but wasn't under much pressure. Yedlin - 8 - Bossed the right flank from end to end. Findley - 7 - Seemed very nervous initially, backed off a lot, a bit Saylor-esque. But grew into the game, didn't try anything too risky, played the ball from side to side, and made a good block or two. Hanley - 9 - Thought he was tremendous in the air, very committed. Looks faster than the last time I saw him as well. Lazaar - 7 - Really good defensively, didn't show much going forward. Shelvey - 10 - 'Nuff said. Tiote - 7 - Solid. Did one outrageous trick that got the crowd going. Customary booking for GBH, but gave a good showing on probably his last outing. Ritchie - 8 - Best he's played in a while. Barlaser - 7 - I didn't think he seemed nervous at all. Someone sat near me piped up about how composed he seemed. Thought he played well, though was anonymous for parts of the second half. One excellent driving run. El-Mhanni - 5 - Didn't really do or offer anything, but some good tracking back (</Pardew>). Seemed slightly over-awed by the occasion. Gouffran - 8 - His best performance in a while, ran the channels well, put in a good shift. Knackered by the end.
