Away Toon

I think Jarvis looks pretty sharp, he's certainly giving Zabaleta something to think about. One of the only old fashioned wingers left.

Can we close this one now, 1000 pages written about an absolute cunt of a manager.

It's very damming that between us we have posted nearly 1000 pages about this inconsequential idiot of a manager, who has removed any enjoyment from watching the team we all love

I think this game is the most likely to give us a win or at least a point especially with Suarez out. I wouldn't fancy us even at home against Arsenal, who will probably be playing for a Champion's league place. Away from home we are just stinking, I'm sure than AC and Nolan are looking forward to our wobbly defence arriving at Upton Park, and Redknapp if he can get his players up for it, will be thinking there are three points there for the taking, even if they have been relegated by then.

From BBC Sport: "There will be shock on two levels. Firstly, from the club, the player and the fans at the severity of the punishment. Secondly, from across football because this is two games more than the ban Suarez received for racially abusing Patrice Evra." What a load of shit, nobody outside of some of the Liverpool support will be shocked or surprised. He's a serial offender, it's normal that it's an increase on the 7 match ban the Dutch gave him for the same offence. The press, what a bunch of plonkers.

Somewhere deep down Pep must be hoping they don't win the Champions League, if they do, the only place he can go is down or at best the same as. What is Bayerns manager going to do next season?

Both Weimann and Benteke would strengthen us, arguably the Zog as well, though I don't think he can come back.

Villa have got some great attacking players if they do go down, some nice pickings for clubs with money

I don't think any of the goals were offside. They were all pretty much in line and I thought the benefit of the doubt was meant to be for the attacker.

A bite even

Definitely a bit, definitely banned you would think

They need another camera angle to be certain

Breathtaking from the Spuds. Just think last year we were competing with them.

It is a mystery that the press and crowd are not going after this charlatan of a manager, not only for the results but more importantly for the rank dire football we play every week. We all have a vested interest in watching our games, but for a neutral its on par with Stoke for ugliness. Interestingly (not really and not surprisingly) the press are not on Redknapp's case either, despite him inheriting an expensive bunch of tosspots and adding Reme, Samba and Townshend etc to the squad. His record is worse than Hughes and Warnock.

It really makes you wonder why we bought him in the summer. His position was one of the very few that didn't need strengthening. He's completely wasted under Pardew.

Although I've never had any confidence in Pardew and want him sacked, some of our players aren't half playing crap. Perch, Shola, Jonas we know are limited at the best of times, but Cisse either offside or missing easy chances, Sissoko terrible touch and passing, MYM indecisive and lacking concentration, Debuchy mostly anonymous. Only Cabaye played really well today especially in the first half. We should be doing better than we are but technically we only have HBA, Marveaux and Cabaye and maybe Anita who are really good on the ball. Depressing.

Looking at the table that is not a good result

Apart from Cabaye, we have some shocking technically challenged players

Just unbelievable

If we go on to lose this only Wigan can save us.

We haven't been in their half in 10 minutes

More luck. We look piss poor in the air from crosses and Elliot looks nervous as hell.

Not a very confidence boosting start to the second half

Lucky lucky lucky

He won the ball before he got the man. Still it was a stupid high risk tackle and very lucky it wasn't a penalty.
