Hilarious ratings, starting to think you're a complete and utter WUM.

Disagree tbh mate, result was categorically the most important thing but a good performance today would have set us up nicely for the last 9 games. As it is I think we'll scrap and we'll bore the life out of the opposition until game 38 and hopefully by that point we'll have somehow scraped 6th or 7th. It's a lot more difficult to be confident when you're playing like shite every week (as a fan) and I'd imagine that applies to the players as well. Sick of watching us at the minute tbh.

Cisse's doing the same face as me in that pic n'all. http://www.nufc.co.uk/javaImages/67/e0/0,,10278~10543207,00.jpg

:lol:

Aye probably. Remote possibility rather than no chance imo though.

He's not playing 352, is he?

If it's 442 then Perch would surely be at left back.

I'm trying to hold my tongue until I see how we actually line up but it's difficult. Hoping he's not going for something wacky because he's shit scared of Norwich.

There's nearly always at least one head-scratcher with his lineups though. If Santon's been dropped due to form/tactics then this once again fits the bill. If he has been dropped fdown to poor form why would it be a head scratcher? Good decision no? I think so. Well I'm saying I don't agree with it.

Didn't realise he had a knock, thought the only doubts were Tiote and Simpson.

People are losing their fucking minds here like.

Probably dropped. I think I'd lose it. My mate mentioned the idea of him not starting on Facebook earlier and I bit his head off and started swearing.

The thing is with Guthrie, he's came into the team and outperformed Cabaye on most occasions. You look at how Pardew stuck with Ryan Taylor and Obertan when they hadn't necessarily put in such accomplished performances on the whole, yet Guthrie's straight out of the team at the first opportunity. Wolves game was clearly him taking the huff and losing focus, which ain't good at all, but he's probably got bogged down in all that. I think Pardew made the right decision to play Cabaye and Tiote btw, whether he could have fit in Guthrie as well I'm not sure.

Jenas had a lot of potential as a 19 year old, particularly during that patch when he scored 6 or 7 goals. Lua Lua I can''t defend. Surely a character like Simpson would benefit more from something along the lines of "Danny's been a consistent player for us since I arrived. Like anyone else in the squad though he needs to continue improving and earn his place. Especially given that we've 4 players competing for the full back spots at the minute and we're on an upward trajectory as a club, therefore we're always looking at bringing in new players". He needs a kick up the arse if anything, the quotes from Pardew just reinforce the idea that he'll be in the side no matter what and ignore some poor performances. There's no chance of Simpson getting dropped and Simpson knows it.

Yep, they're the only 2 options alright.

Danny Simpson's having a terrific season and there's no chance we'd be 6th without him in the side though.

Mind games.

Definitely.

Is it not just to avoid using the word foreigners perhaps? Don't see a problem with it like, he says way more irritating stuff than that on a regular basis.

You going to the match today, Ronaldo? Just wondering if we'll get any respite in the near future.

Some nice ones.

I was always with Disco on this, but can understand people feeling a bit emotional. If a lot of the players were a wreck it'd be a no-brainer the other way of course.
