Was class today

Yep

Don't get too excited

Agreed - basically only one place left now unless either of those 2 put together an unbelievable run. It will be a disgrace if NUFC fills that place after the money spent in Jan... Absolutely

It's a chance to go above Stoke and Norwich and take some pressure off the derby. Fulham can play relaxed because they're basically safe and that means if we full on go for them, will they really be up for it? First goal I guess will be crucial but we've done alright at home recently.

God it's 9.30 and I'm already shitting it, feel like ive got an exam on ffs

Yeah Norwich definitely aren't out of it and to be fair even though Villa are starting to play well they're not safe yet are they. The table will make interesting reading after today's games blimey

Yeah that sounds like it'd be the earliest appearance if it happens. Heard so many contradicting quotes over this saga I don't really know what to think anymore. But if it means we can get him fit and back on the pitch it's a major major boost.

Pathetic the way we've heaped totally unneccessary pressure on ourselves. I have no idea how the game is going to go, but if I walk out of St James' after a win I'm heading straight to the pub to neck a pint

I would always prefer to be at the game and watching as you can see everything and you don't always get that with TV. Listening on Radio is possibly worse than not knowing as they are sometimes miles behind the game. Yeah i was joking really but it can be bloody torture although thats what makes goals/winning so good (when it happens) I know what you mean about listening on the radio though mate, dear oh dear.

I'm nervous now ffs, almost wish I hadn't bought a ticket

What is the latest on him then, did i read quotes in this thread that sad he's back in training? I've lost track completely and had written the season off? The secret weapon rolled out for the derby?

Yah Sunday is a big game for him I agree.

I suppose the only thing I could see happening is us haggling for a deal for Carroll if other targets fail. But they won't sell to us on the cheap after we screwed them before and Ashley certainly won't bend over backwards to sell HBA will he. So it's unlikely that either will happen really.

As I was handing over money at the ticket office I did wonder why for a second when it guarantees an afternoon of absurd levels of stress

He just needs that bit more control to his game because he has everything else. I don't think he had that bad a game really but for some reason he's always got it in his locker to do something daft like that. You'd think he'd have learnt by now.

I'm worried about Berbatov, he's in fine form at the moment. The one plus is that Cisse looked really sharp last night and was unlucky not to bag a couple more goals.

Yeah I see the press are peddling this one again ffs They've just been chatting about it on talkshite as if it makes perfect sense Jesus wept

Villa, Southampton and Wigan are all away and could all very well drop points which makes this one so important.

Total and utter clusterfuck of a cock up. You can possibly get away with one suicidal mistake in an away leg against a side like that but not two ffs. Idiot

The lad does just look shot to pieces. Looks like he has a costly mistake per game at the moment.

I can feel myself quaking in fear from the east stand corner already

Yep absolutely kamikaze stuff tonight from Santon and Taylor. Other than that it was a good away performance at a really tough place to go. God only knows what was going through their heads to make those cock ups.

Can't defend at the moment and has mistakes in his locker sadly

Hope they can avoid injury, the Fulham game is every bit as important as this. Sadly. This. God help us if we pick up any key injuries tonight
