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.

Would much rather give Campbell a start than have Ranger within 200 miles of the stadium.

Sounds like Ben Arfa mkII. Lovely.

Listened to half an hour or this so far, fabulous to listen to. Cheers.

Apparently has a heart defect.

8. Deep, deep trouble. We're in a battle with 6 other sides and we're the only ones not battling.

No. Just, no.

And the pilot just happened to have a word in his ear at the arrivals gate

FWIW the Paris flight doesn't arrive until 21.24 Ben Arfa mkII

@19foster92 saying he arrived in Newcastle this evening. ITK!

It says a lot when Babayaro and Carr don't get a look in.

Owen in terms of value and hindsight, not many we're saying it at the time though. For me it's Gonzalez and Xisco combined. Not just for the players but because of everything that came with the signings, which resulted in my favourite ever manager and my club at legal loggerheads. The lowest I've ever seen us.

Exactly the type of game they usually bottle.

Fucks sake
