This should be very interesting now! Both teams coming in off the back of good wins in the league.

His knee seemed OK today...

Barton looked much more comfortable when he drifted inside. I think Routledge should be brought on the right wing after 15mins or so. It'll (hopefully) help Simpson out with Obinna...

West Ham look scoring nearly everytime they go forward. We just lack a spark to create something around their box, but if we keep launching balls into the box like we did with our goal, then there might be something in there for us. Its gonna be a nervy 45.

If we play like we did in our last away game vs Man City then I'd say we could actually win this. Still, I'd be pretty happy with a draw.

Goodness me. These lads have far, far too much money.

i've always been of the opinion that if we were beating barcelona week in/out and they were getting beat off jarrow roofing likewise......i'd still take a draw pre match. we always have more to lose than them. suppose it comes with being on top for so long. This is true. I think even if we hadn't been the better team for years it would still mean more to them than us. The 'chip on the shoulder' saying could not be used more appropriately for them! We must get the first goal. We must.

I hate these games. Even at this stage I can't get the thought/dread of it out of my head! I'd take a draw in this- which shows just how far we have sunken as a club.

You'd need a hell of a lot of paint...

Definitely take a draw.

Absolutely shitting this. Have a bad feeling their midfield could overrun us.

He really is the love of my life... :colo:

For my next match I think I'll make sure I sit in the Gallowgate so I don't have to look at that gut-wrenching sign. Hideous.

I hate that man. I really, really hate him.

He's 5'7". ....And he still beats two of our defenders for it. Lord give me strength.

That's even worse than I thought- and I thought it was going to be awful. We're the biggest laughing stock going.

I would love to hear an explanation from Perch and Williamson as to HOW.THE.FUCK that little shit N'Zogbia managed to win a header from both of them from the first goal. He's not even 6ft and he beat them both for the header! Jesus christ.

God help us against the mackems. We're in trouble, lads.

Pleased. But still pissed off at how shit we are and our inability to beat Wigan fucking Athletic at home. Fuck off to all of them.

Rodellaga is gonna kill us on the break...

This is so depressing.

Don't know why Ameobi hasn't been given a chance recently. Despite a lack of pace and mobility it would bring us, I think himself and Carroll would be no worse than Carroll-Loven up top. A draw would be good now, but even then its a fucking shite result. We actually need a miracle.

I don't know why I bother to be honest. This is utterly dire stuff. These lads are paid thousands and thousands and fucking thousands of £ per week! Fuck right off.
