As if us or Everton are at the party. We're the team who had no penalties last year.

As if Arsenal and Chelsea don't get the same generosity.

He didn't completely lose his man, but Dzeko timed his run beautifully and Taylor was just a touch slow to react. The Williamson issue is that it looked like if he put a bit of effort in he'd have cut the cross out.

Damn, forgot about the delay here .

Tiote .

Relegation battle looks like a corker this year. Villa, Stoke and Swansea will be expected to lose this week, which would leave six points separating the bottom 11 teams. Everyone below Southampton is in real danger.

I said before today that there are three worse teams than the mackems. Not that Sunderland are any good, but they have a manager who might make the difference. Which three? Palace actually looked decent today.

WHen was the last time Sunderland scored four in the league? And away?

Jedinak finally booked. Hate that style of reffing.

It's a pity. When we go back to being shit, you remember why Defoe is really useful. When you're actually playing at a high level he isn't quite good enough. I suppose we're getting decent money and freeing up some wages.

I really wouldn't worry. If we carry on playing like this then we'll struggle to get back into the Europa. The one thing I can say is that we have loads of people to come back from injury, but Sherwood is showing his limitations.

Considering you lost 6-0 recently, that's saying something Yeah, but there was an element of freakishness about that, and we were away to Man City, and gave them a ludicrous goal immediately. This is home to Palace, and with plenty of time to prepare. Palace are playing really, really well, but nearly every facet of our game is failing. Mind you, we nearly scored twice, and Bentaleb just hit the post with what would have been our goal of the season. Maybe we're waking up.

This is the worst performance from us I can remember, frankly.

At least this shows that Top Four is just a pipe dream for us this year. That should mean that I worry a bit less .

Good test for Sherwood, this. Needs to make some proper changes to personnel/tactics. We're a mess, and Palace are first to everything.

We've been absolutely terrible so far.

Worst penalty miss i've seen in years .

Jeez, another one of those weeks where only 8 players actually play coming up.

Couldn't be bothered to make changes this week. Will suck up a bad week for the two free transfers in the next, then save the wildcard for the end of the month.

Wasn't it the start of the season, for a summer friendly? Might have been Jan too.

I thought the second wildcard was usable after Jan. Is this not true then?

I thought he was a Middle-Earth elf.

Barry Corr is the best footy name I've heard in a while.

Rochdale have gone bonkers with sponsorship by the looks of it - logos all over the place. Massive Fila logos on the shoulders .

What the fuck is the Rochdale manager wearing?
