Closing in on goal, had at least a few seconds to decide to take a chance and smash it at goal (jesus christ he's only 5 yards away ffs) and he decides he's not brave enough to have a go and waits for minimal contact before collapsing at the Gallowgate End in the hope the ref awards a penalty. That's absolutely f***ing shameful, wrong foot or not, to lack the courage to even attempt a shot at goal, point f***ing blank, is absolutely horrific stuff. Should be run out of f***ing town, the cowardly little w*****.

This. The epitome of cowardice. Just think how we'd be sat here giving the lad credit had he actually taken a shot (and probably) scored. Thin lines.

To be honest though, the fact that we've gone for two new midfielders, and the fact that he's been getting subbed off more and more often, I reckon SMC has identified that he's a weak link and will look to demote him to the bench. I just can't picture a world in which a coach can't see such a glaring hole in his team.

Navas though he blasts low crossess mainly.

Except he's gash and not a very good crosser of the ball. Antonio Valencia did it for a while before being Fergie'd.

If he put in the effort and intelligence he did last night every game for us he would walk amongst legends at NUFC. Probably the only captain's performance we have seen from him in his entire time as the club's leader. Terrible shame that he's let his status slip the way he has. He's a very good footballer. Wish he had more heart and determination to better himself but he doesn't.

Does Chris Waddle actually have to celebrate opposition goals BTW? f***ing guy on our games is a joke.

Hate this prick as well. Where they find these braindead morons to commentate on football is beyond me. Waddle was on earlier completely baffled by our decision to buy midfielders. Just pathetic.

Get fucked Dwight yorke you utter fucking bellend.

Dwight Yorke is a cunt of the highest order. Totally clueless and deluded.

Only a matter of time before Mike Dean makes it blatantly obvious who's side he's on.

Laughable decision.

Pleased with this.We finally have someone in midfield more useful than a fork in a soup.

I fancy us to win this, but it won't change things.

It will actually. 3 more points on the league table

No one's said that they care about the price, they're just talking about worth.

 

Too many people desperate to grasp anything that looks 'good'

That's exactly the whole point of being a football fan ffs. It's not like it will make a difference if we all just went into a sulk over this transfer

Saivet is good defensively according to the stats

13/64 for relevance

Shelvey top target according to Edwards, says we'll offer better personal terms than Palace in order to get him.

 

Basically the exact opposite of what the chronic said the other day

Well....

Perez          Mitrovic

      Wijnaldum

Shelvey      Sissoko

        Saivet

And we suddenly look a whole lot better (if the two new chaps work as intended).

Don't say what Longstaff made you feel.

You'd be the one feeling it mate

Our U-18 side as we suffered an apparently embarrassing exit from the FA Youth Cup at the hands of Wimbledon.

Team: Woolston, Trodd (Kitchen 62), Adu-Peprah, Donaghey, Pollock, Lowrie, Charman (Gallacher 86), Longstaff, McNall, Heaney, C.Smith.

Subs n/u: Harker, Broccoli, Spooner.

Reading all that made me hungry tbh

This club is so fucking boring. Everything we do is so self-destructive that it's actually become a borefest. Giving the fans absolutely NOTHING to be happy about or proud of? Really? Not one fucking thing? A good manager? no, a good strong balanced squad? no, a director that has the first clue about football? no, decent sponsor? no, results? no, ambition to try to win as many matches regardless of competition? no.

Get the fuck out of here. And we're still sat here supporting this hollow shell. Fuck off.

We desperately need a centre back, left back, centre midfielder and a goal scoring centre forward at a minimum. God we do have a proper s*** team ownership when it comes down to it ?

19. Couldn't get the Forest one at the end.

ditto

Determined not to give up but I haven't a clue on 19.

 

Need a clue ?

Is it last year already? Bimpy's back holy shit 

Not sure as to why anyone would want to go to watch this. A meek 2-0 defeat, with McClaren saying that we need to concentrate on the PL because of where we are. FA Cup is a distraction, etc.

Nah. He'll waffle on about how no one wants to win the cup more than him, and how much it means to the supporters, rather win the cup than the title ya knaa.

He officially joined Palace a year ago today

 

And he's not done too bad a job. Shows what a toxic club NUFC Reading, Southampton, West Ham are.

@BBCSport is it to sand down his horrid f***ing pointy chin?

 

:lol:

Bare in mind he's an Arsenal fan who severely dislikes Wenger.

Says it all

If we could sort out our central midfield then we have the option of using Colback at LB, at least he would contribute something going forward.

Moar fouls?
