Away Toon

Not one of our players would get into Everton's team, so maybe we shouldn't be that surprised.

If I was Ashley I'd sack the cunt after the game, no hang on I'd sack the twat at half time and tell Joe it's all yours, see what you can do with the useless bastards.

Commentators giving us stick about having no English players after Pardew gave Wenger some stick a while back for the same reason.

I've been saying for over a year that Santon is fucking useless and is constantly out of position, so fuck all of his defenders on here. We have a relegation standard defence as we had last season.

I don't think Cattermole is any worse than Tiote.

Moved to the NE when I was 10 to Cleadon, which was pretty much all mackem and went to school in Seaham that was all mackem. There were 4 of us who followed the Mags, maybe to be different,who knows at that age. I remember we all got a weeks suspension for going to the first and second replays against Forest during the cup run.

I get the feeling the Premiership is wide open this season at all levels for teams with ambition. Apart from Palace who will no doubt go down most teams could just about finish anywhere.

Liverpool are starting their best team tonight, there is no reason why we are not doing the same. I'd have sent out the same 11 that gloriously fucked up against Hull and told them it was time for redemption, though I'm sure you'd have had to explain to both the manager and players what the word means.

We are probably the least successful top flight club over the last 40 years, an absolute joke in the eyes of most non-supporters, and still a joke in the eyes of plenty of supporters too. I'd take a cup win over finishing 17th in the league any day, in fact I could probably live with being relegated if we won the FA Cup. Football is all about winning trophy's, irrespective of what the wankers who own and run the club think.

HBA should definitely play as he had the last game off.

There is nothing wrong with a midfield of Tiote sitting, Anita passing and Sissoko driving us forward. There is nothing creative in Cabaye's play at the moment anyhow.

Should be dropped as should the other players who are currently crap, so that's Debuchy, Cabaye, and Cisse for starters. Pardew will no doubt drop Anita.

If we don't have an option to buy him, then there is no way he'll sign permanently. If he keeps playing like he did today he will much better alternatives than us, next summer.

If Pardew wants to stick with a three man midfield I'd bring Tiote in and drop Cabaye, won't happen but Anita is the form player in there and should keep his place.

Well Mapou is the best defensive option we have at LB, and maybe Anita at RB, who knows its fucking shambolic.

What is really depressing is that we start with the team that everybody wants to see out there, and then lose quite deservedly at home to most people's relegation favourites. I don't think Pardew can be blamed much for this. Now everything is back on the table including incorporating the three stooges, Taylor, Tiote and Jonas back into the team. Oh joy.

It makes you fucking despair to see us play and defend as badly as that. Tiote will have to come back in, he's not great but we are overran in midfield without him, Taylor should probably replace Colo, Anita replace Debuchy at RB. None of that might look great, but we are going to be looking at the bottom of the table rather than the top and we have to defend better than we are.

Well West Ham and Villa missing a ton of chances between them and HBA's brilliant goal against Fulham have papered over a whole ton of cracks. We still look very likely to finish near the bottom as we did last season. Defensively we are still abject.

Gouffran has been wank since he came on.

Too many players have been downright awful, Cisse, HBA and Debuchy have been outstanding in their shiteness.

Well no shame in losing to Hull City, they've been better than us and they deserve to be winning.

This kind of defensive shambles will give Pardew all the excuses he needs to bring back Taylor, Tiote and Jonas.

We need another goal I reckon as defensively we still look as bad as last year. Surely we have a better alternative to Debuchy?

A lot depends on Pardew if we stick with 433 with Hatem spending most of the time attacking, yes he is capable of scoring lots of goals, if we revert to a 442 with HBA spending most of the game helping out the fullback, he won't.

Wasn't Defoe available for around 6m? And didn't he mumble he would have been interested in coming to us? He's the best finisher probably in the Premier League.
