Dyeyzzon

Wigan's been a canny hunting ground of late like. Tottenham 2-2 Newcastle Chelsea 3-1 Wigan Norwich 1-0 Fulham Stoke City 2-2 Reading Sunderland 1-2 Arsenal Swansea 2-0 QPR Southampton 2-2 Man City Aston Villa 2-2 West Ham Man Utd 1-0 Everton Liverpool 2-0 West Brom Liverpool 2-1 Swansea

So we get Cheick home early, angry and in some scoring form.

I think Haidara was just the kick up the arse he needed. Massively improved these past few games.

Demba Ba ‏@dembabafoot I thanks all the real fans for the nice messages i receive. And to all the haters....., may god bless you!!! ;-) good night

Essien anyone?

I just got dyizzed here.

I was sad when he went. But with the new lads we've got now, I think Ba just symbolized how f***ed over our tactics with his insistence to play central. Chuck him out, and bring in LOADS of options that blend well with each other...just a huge improvement.

Krul - 7. Debuchy - 6.5. S. Taylor - 7. Coloccini - 7. Santon - 8. Perch - 6.5 Cabaye - 7.5 Gouffran - 8. Sissoko - 9. Jonas - 8. Cisse - 6.5. Marv - 6.5 Mbiwa - N/A. Pardew - 8. And that is why we will stay up. The spirit is still in this f***ing club. HWTL.

This team.

I honestly fear the worst every time this thread is bumped. Indeed very saddening for an absolute genius.

Joy at last. QPR 2-1 Norwich Arsenal 3-1 Stoke City Everton 3-0 Aston Villa Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea Reading 1-1 Sunderland West Ham 0-0 Swansea Wigan 2-2 Southampton Fulham 1-2 Man Utd West Brom 1-1 Tottenham Man City 2-1 Liverpool

I'll try to include some realism into my selection.... Krul Debuchy S.Taylor Coloccini Santon Sissoko Yanga-Mbiwa Gouffran Cabaye Gutierrez Cisse Surprisingly confident for this one. 1-1, Ba and Cisse to start and score together for the first time.

2 spot on results

Would be nice if Cisse outscores Ba.

Just transfered him to QPR on my FIFA offline squads and they're now a 4.5 star team.

Honestly interested to hear from him about Pardew's change of heart over signing Frenchies.

Seems far more versatile than Ba and Cisse. Always thought that, despite the calibre of the Dembas, we ultimately have to get rid of one and bring in a goalscorer who's as competent in the wing. Hopefully he proves the part.

Sorely tempted to but I'll hang on till Tuesday.

Tuesday - MYM Wednesday - Gouffran Thursday - Haidara Friday - Coloccini Sissoko on a Saturday, Thauvin on Sunday/Monday and a win on Tuesday would just make that the best week ever.

GW 24 Aston Villa 1-2 Newcastle QPR 1-3 Man City Stoke City 2-2 Wigan Sunderland 2-1 Swansea Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool Everton 3-2 West Brom Norwich 0-2 Tottenham Fulham 2-0 West Ham Man Utd 4-1 Southampton Reading 2-2 Chelsea

I'm certain that those barracking Colo here wouldn't be doing so if we were soaring at the moment. Personal problems can just pop up in your face at any time. Colo never intended it to be this way, as he signed a long term deal just a few months back. It also came to him so suddenly, as you never heard anything about it in the months before December. It just mushroomed, and sadly, it's come at a time when the club is facing some problems of its own. And such problems just make the football irrelevant, unfortunately for a struggling team like us. If Colo manages to stay at least till the end of the season, then he's a legend in my view. Takes a true man to keep all of this within himself as humanely possible while still gracefully leading a Premier League club out of one of its deepest holes yet. Needless to say, the circumstances he is in would mean that it wouldn't surprise me either if he goes now, but I will still hold him in my highest regard. Impressive how he kept his head down, trained and played as normal when in an absolute rut. Nothing at all like Tevez. That's why I'm not the biggest fan of those who say "He's the cpatain ffs." He's human more than anything.

Now that you mentioned it, time to do a work out on my math. Downing - 20m. Henderson - 18m. Debuchy, Haidara, Sissoko, MYM, Gouffran - 18m.

MYM. So pleasantly surprising how relatively smooth the negotiations went for a seemingly top quality CB. As said here, it removes the burden of Willo starting as well.

He's basically the bloke every French lad seems to know personally, while Hatem's the one they look forward to playing with the most. Those two are just so -able for what they bring us both on and off the pitch.
