It must be extremely easy to prepare against us tactically, since it's blatantly obvious who we'll play every week. Yes, I know I criticised Pardew for jumbling up the back four etc. a few months ago, but I'm just saying. There was no doubt of that midfield four or attacking two, and I know that isn't Pardew's fault cause he's got no one to replace them with. Just saying it makes us even easier to defend against.

Imagine if he was some Linguist Genius and knew over 28 languages. I'd pay money just to watch Ranger try and spell Linguist.

3-1 Nolan, Ameobi, Lovenkrands Larsson

Feel kinda sorry for the dog, there.

The Sunderland injury thing is such a joke. Yes, they've lost strikers over the last fortnight. We've been without Ben Arfa, Best, Gosling, Ireland, Steven Taylor and Smith for how much of the season? They're hardly youth players. And you can say our strikers haven't all been injured, but it doesn't help they we haven't fucking got any in the first place.

Harper - Nothing Coloccini - 10m Enrique - 6m Nolan - 4m Campbell - nothing Barton - 6m Lovenkrands - nothing Simpson - 500k Perch - 1m Raylor - nothing Jonas - 5m Ameobi - nothing Tiote - 3.5m Krul - nothing Saylor - nothing Ranger - nothing Ferguson - nothing Kuqi - nothing Our entire squad for this game cost less than Andy Carroll Only seven available players were bought for money.

So we'll end the squad with available: Harper Coloccini Enrique Nolan Campbell Barton Lovenkrands Simpson Perch Raylor Jonas Ameobi Tiote Krul Saylor Ranger Ferguson Kuqi And missing through injury, sale or loan: Williamson Guthrie Routledge Gosling Smith Xisco Best Forster LuaLua Kadar Vuckic Ben Arfa Ireland Carroll

Krul Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique Barton Tiote Nolan Jonas Loven Ameobi Subs: Harper, Perch, R. Taylor, Campbell, Donaldson, Ranger, Kuqi

No way. So we'd have a black and white, black and orange and a black kit. What happens if we play someone in black? We're all fucked.

This is rubbish.

Jesus Christ. If Saylor's back in with Colo, the end of this season could get nervy.

Sleeves will look 100% better with Premier League patches etc on them.

So miss three games, to protect him from missing three games? He's two bookings away, anyway.

Dreamt he broke his leg in pre-game warm up. Actually watched it on TV.

If we had: LM: Jonas, Ben Arfa, Ferguson CM: Tiote, Nolan, Barton, Ireland, Guthrie RM: NEW, Barton, R. Taylor DM: Tiote, Gosling, Smith I'd be satisfied with the depth of each position. Assuming we sell Routledge, we need a new right mid/winger. Larsson would do.

Jonas? Are you taking the piss?

Yes, Williamson making a mistake as a result of sustained pressure was more important that having a League 2 strike force, a clearly unfit centre-mid and less flair than a ward full of coma patients? Obviously, I realise you mean that point was pivotal, but we'd not have won if S. Taylor had played instead.

Now down to 25% win percentage.

Still a good player.

We're destined for that for the rest of the season, sadly. Our players aren't good enough. It's not their fault there's no one else to pick.

Exactly the same, but drop Enrique for Ferguson.

We're so awful. I'm off to the library. Got a degree to do. Wake me up next season if we sign some decent players.

They have players that can break and move like that. We don't. Simple as.
