These aren't invincible like some people seem to think. I don't think we'll win but it isn't impossible if Rafa puts out a team with Cisse, Mitro and Perez to shock them from the off - it also needs some passion from the whole team. It won't happen like, but god I really hope it does.

What if Brighton miss out on promotion? Could we get Hughton back?

I feel sick about how right I was about him, said he was overpriced, said he always cuts in. It's mind-boggling how badly our "80m" was spent.

Anyone thinking Everton or Swansea could be dragged if they have clangers? /strawclutching

I agree with everything there except his speed...I think he's slower than people give him credit for. He can accelerate well but I don't recall him beating his man much - possibly because he also lacks the strength. To me it's obvious he's always going to cut inside, easy to defend against that when you know it's going to be happening every time.

Unfit, Unorganised or Uninterested? We've looked lacking for most of the season, but it's shown itself more lately. Not getting at teams, not winning second balls or pressuring the opposition enough. Which of the above three is wrong with the team?

Moved Perez into my FPL team, so of course he'll be dropped for this. Also, very nervous, may be difficult to sleep tomorrow night. Gonna be watching at a mates house and he loves to pretend Fat Sam is a genius just to wind me up.

It really did my tree in last night as you know if we were in that position someone would get booked and there would be 6 mins on the board even if it had been announced as 3. Don't understand why it isn't a straight yellow for a player standing in the throw-in position, not looking to get the ball.

One thing's for sure, without Mahrez and Kante I don't think they'd be that great a team. They have the hardest working midfield going but once you take those two out (and yes, to a lesser extent Vardy) then they're pretty average. Can't believe a defensive partnering of Huth and Morgan (throw Simpson in too) are top of the league - baffling.

Later this afternoon when he rejects our offer He's got Ashley's tits in a vice though surely? Groundswell of support for bringing him in, with the real prospect of losing the Prem money if we don't get a decent manager in (that's not to say we won't even with him).

Thank fuck for that. I'm far too gullible.

Someone just showed me a picture of Rodgers, apparently in Newcastle city center....ugh I hope it's fake

Guy at my work says he's known players who trained under Pearson who said he's brutal. Apparently, one player said the only thing he was scared of in life was Pearson and he didn't dare disappoint him.

Fuck me, that's a champo side right there.

Think this will be 2-2, Steve will say we showed "tremendous" spirit. I'd probably take a point right now but we need three to make some progress, anything less keeps us well and truly in the mire.

Really hate modern footballers. Put your fucking iphone away, you've made the deal, how much more important stuff is he expecting that he has to hold it 24/7. /irritable rant

He looks like his head is screwed on a bit better now, I just doubt he has the pace to match his reading of situations anymore.

Hope he goes to make a green tea but forgets he's only supposed to put hot water in and puts milk in as well.

That was my first thought too. You're young, rich (or will be) and famous so why the hell would you tie yourself down at such a young age? edit: seems Ameritoon already answered that question: Free and swinging isn't for everybody tbf. Having your own young family is probably good for moral support and perspective, and helps to ground some of the players who would otherwise be a decadent danger to themselves with all the money and temptation around them! There is also the fact that it's probably better to be with someone who loves you before you're famous and hope to keep to yourselves when you do get famous. Rather than have gold digging, orange tanned, bints clamoring up your business.

Made the 2nd highest amount of tackles at the weekend apparently. I like him, especially going forward as an option, but crosses are his one weakness and it seems to be happening far too often.

Cost us the three points. In my opinion we did lots of things well and then his piss poor defending them gifted them a point. Cracking shot but it should never have been a shooting position. Not the first time he has ignored the man at the back and watched the ball float over either.

I put Perez in...and captained him! It's a gamble but if he starts I think it'll be worth it. Lukaku vs Vardy was too hard a choice for captaincy.

Perez into fantasy team, captained. Nailed on to get bummed by the worst team in the league.

Get it done. Get someone younger, quicker, sharper, hungrier in Jan. Sit Winegum slightly ahead of the new lad and off we goooooo!

wound me up no end when we used to be in the CL and he'd keep pronouncing it weirdly.
