I'll take it even if we don't deserve it

the scary thing is its really not over as this side is more than capable of getting relegated with this consistent reaction to going behind they all just start hiding

as usual the moment we concede a goal we look a rather shitter team.

whens Elliot fit again.............

Horrific by Krul

the fuck was that?!

good effort

well that was awful by Anita

Palace equalise

even if this is a legitimate campaign the guys who are quite comfortable in their corruption and busy cashing in on it are not going to vote for any outsider candidate who wants to bring it back to the people-thats the last thing they want

and sunderland apparently denied a legitimate pen

didn't take long

I think it just boiled down to why change what was working? Obviously there was no desire to appoint a manager while he was trying to sell the club and in that time Hughton settled what for all the world look like a sinking ship got the senior players onside and actually giving half a shit which was more than could be said of any nufc team since sir bob left and just took advantage of the fact our first 11 was way too good for the championship.

it would seem to me to be spending a lot on wages to not really solve the ultimate problem they have they have- they don't create chances and Defoe won't work in the current set up Poyet plays. Is he likely to change that?

Brummie you've basically doomed us to MCleish there like. Not at all. I'm saying you're right at the start of this process still, and pretty much every club has moments of terror when certain names crop up, but you'd have to be extremely unlucky to find you have the only chairman as fucking steeeeeyyyyyoooooooopid as ours and end up flabbergasted by an appointment of such insanity. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/68204000/jpg/_68204857_joe_kinnear2.jpg twice

needs 5 fa's or something to nominate him, will he get that

Intradesting On the Ideye Brown point, he was a mainstay in the team until the World Cup process, when he was out of form, and had been playing at the top level for years. Why would he be denied a work permit? I don't understand the work permit system at all, tbh, at least in regards to football. Why are players with an EU passport more highly regarded than ones that don't have one? What does a player's work at national team level and the ranking of his have to do with his worthiness to play in your country? Under the set of rules Dyke proposed, someone like Wanyama wouldn't qualify for a work permit, unless someone paid ten million for him, so the big clubs can have another advantage. If their problem is the progress of British players being blocked, then they should focus on providing incentives for clubs to sign players with British passports under a certain age, not creating a bizarre system to arbitrarily limit the movement of foreign players. They are looking at the problem backwards on the EU passport thing its not so much as being highly regarded as the FA literally has no choice, any attempt to limit eu players would have the fa coming down on them like a ton of bricks for breaking eu law on freedom of movement.

can we say Torres is back yet?

2-1 win with Carver announced as head coach on a 7.5 year deal the day after

the really sad thing is how its UEFA devaluing the Europa League, can't stand the fact that the guys from the champions league get rewarded for failure with a place in it

1-0 Southampton, great finish by Long

fair dues Burnley, do hope they stay up.

I think, since the PL has come along, and then the Champions League and the financial divisions that causes, the premier league is divided into different types of clubs. There are those who can compete for the title realistically, or to get to, and stay in, the Champions League. There are those who traditionally are considered to be doing well to even be in the top flight (West Ham, Stoke, Albion, Swansea etc) There are those who have recently been promoted, for whom it is all a big adventure (Leicester, Burnley, Palace) Then there are those who are pretty much always in the top flight, who have - in the past competed for league titles - but now find themselves in a situation where it is impossible to even think of doing that any more - Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Spurs (no matter how they'd like to think otherwise) It is the fans of clubs like those four for whom the Premier League is the biggest killer. Just staying up is right at the bottom of expectations, haven't just been promoted so it isn't all a big adventure any more, can't hope to compete (unless they get insanely rich owners who fancy a go at it) - basically, stuck in a "it will never be like it used to be" rut, and in some cases run by people with sinking ambition. Not cool. the sad thing even this can't happen anymore not with FFP rules and you can bet UEFA would come down like a ton of bricks on any "upstart" club trying to pull it off now and premier league has those rules too so the guys already at the top would probably demand points deductions on any side who tried that trick to kick them out of their cozy little club. Of coarse the media would think we should all just be happy bathing in the reflected glory of the true elite
