Shearer, Owen, Martins, Viduka, Sibierski, Dyer, Best, Lovenkrands, Xisco, Luque, Ranger, Ba, Cisse. Shola's survived them all to become our first choice in this relegation battle...

I haven't seen his record, decent? Lost 9 games out of 108 in charge of Anorthosis, won 5 out of 6 with Olympiakos without conceding a goal (yet was sacked) and doing fine with Georgia.

We're actually cursed, surely?

Not sacked yet? Darn.

What's the away kit of choice?

We were terrible in the first half, magnificent in the second. Credit to Pardew for not bottling it and trying to protect the single point. Jonas was tremendous. Marveaux excellent. Simpson was screaming for the ball and trying to get forward the whole game. I think it's a great credit to the lad for showing such determination and passion despite knowing he's on the way out. Great to see. Sissoko looks like he's going to break and fall apart. Really needs a rest once we can guarantee safety.

Nervous as hell.

I'm not against doing a half in goal.

A lot of the BBC talking about it on Twitter. Would be amazed if it's true, even by Chelsea standards.

We'll defend all game and look to nick an away goal. Felt like crying when I read this. We are so predictable... your coach seems pretty confident though He's an idiot though.

His CV suggests that last season wasn't the norm, why should we go through another season like this one to find out what we already know? I don't care about his CV, mate. I'll make my own judgement. I find that pretty staggering to be honest. Bit like saying "North Korea are threatening nuclear war!" "Don't worry mate, it's par for the course for them." "I don't care about anything that happened before I last had a steak. I'll make my own judgement."

Pardew really ought to go at the end of the season.

If Wigan score, we're back in big trouble.

Any more evidence of corruption needed? The governing bodies of football are all corrupt. We accept FIFA and UEFA are corrupt, yet expect the our own FA to be free of that? It's naive.

Predominantly due to his distinctive head foliage.

He sure does.

I don't really care who's at fault, so long as they try to fix it.

Shall we start a Release Date Sweepstake?

It was no way a red card offence. Loved the way Perch acted after it, total gentleman. No, but Perch was already on a yellow. Thought he got a yellow from that if you mean the Kone-kicking? Think that would've been his second booking. That was his first. The second (that should have been) was that slide on the edge of the box.

How does that work then? Could be a bad sign if they think his career's over. Not doom-mongering, just saying.

Little something I put together from Twitter. Maybe got a few of the facts wrong (Bardsley's was a second yellow, rather than straight red.. someone said De Jong got booked, I recall him getting nowt) but the point stands.

The linesman's view is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Halsey I can forgive for that one moment, but that linesman should never be involved again.

This. He looks knackered.
