Don't bump the thread for caught offside FFS

3-1 comfortable home win IMO.

The ultimate irony from Villa fans "Bradford's a shithole".

Unbelievable we lost that to two dodgy pens.

The position we'll end up and the position he thought we'd be challenging for.

I'm partial to a stint up top or at CB.

Count me in as a staunch blue.

Marv, HBA, Remy and Cisse as a forward 4 with Anita and Cabaye in CM is the correct call.

Or pretends like he's going to hoof it then instead dribbles the length of the right flank and delivers in a beast of a cross. Which Williamson powers into the top corner.

The one bit of good news around the club at the moment is we now have this fella in the ranks. Hope he has a dream debut at Norwich.

The sign of a good manager is getting points when you have injuries. I could get us into the top 6 if he had all of our purples fit for the whole season. Pardew has shown he doesn't have any tactical ability or motivation skills to make fringe players competitive in the league.

The Reading game is as "must win" as they come.

Same. I've got through relegation I could do it again. The only difference is last time the softening blow was cunts like Duff and Owen were leaving. The worrying thought this time is losing the likes of Krul, Colo, Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Debuchy.

Very reminiscent of the games we had in the relegation season - Pompey, Boro and Fulham - 5 points from those three would have kept us up.

Just sign this guy FFS. If he keeps us up then he's paid off his transfer fee five times over.

Despite the fact they've been losing, they've been playing well. Narrow losses in all three games recently. If we won it would take a massive effort.

Demba coming back?

He's far too posh to be a footballer. His brush of the quiff every time he stops running does my nut in.

Personally I think we need a minimum of 5 points and 6+ would be a bloody good return. I'm expecting a side of: Krul Debuchy Coloccini Williamson Santon Perch Anita Cabaye Marveaux Cisse Obertan Subs: Harper, Taylor, Jonas, Sammy, Campbell, Ferguson, Ranger.

Plus they have two cup ties against Bradford hoyed in there as well.

Biggest game of the season.

Wish someone would correct this clown on ITV who thinks Brighton won at SJP in a replay last year

Interview with him in RMC saying he was down a few weeks ago and considered leaving but convinced Pardew to give him a run in the team and he's loving it now, says the target for him isn't to stay up but to climb the league to a good position as quickly as possible.

14 home points and 6 away required as a minimum. The thing we haven't had this season is an "unexpected" victory. We need to pull some points out of the harder games. Chelsea at home or Spurs away. Wigan won at Spurs, QPR won at Chelsea, Reading beat Everton, Southampton got results from Stoke away and Arsenal, Villa won at Anfield. We need a similar big result or two.

Looking at our remaining fixtures and it's quite worrying. We don't seem capable of picking up an away point, never mind three. We probably need to win 6 out of the remaining game and 3 or 4 draws.
