I'm confident we'll win today. It's a strange feeling, this optimism.

One of us I think (not me)

....and this is genius from SuperSuperAl 'Wingers need to help the defence more. Tracking back should be their first priority. It is a tough league and we are not Real Madrid. We don't need or want luxury players. Luxury players are the type of player you need if you want to adopt the 'make the opposition try and stop us' kind of philosophy. We cannot compete on that scale. What we can do, is to get results through teamwork, workrate and endeavor. As for you saying he is not doing his job properly I disagree. It is the same guy who had us fifth. He needs our support, not people bed wetting because we have had a dip in form.'

'One thing over the past few years the team has relied on is the fans and the atmosphere and at the moment the crowd is dead and all the life has been sucked of the fans which is not surprising judging by are run.' That Palace forum just keeps on giving

'He did it with Newcastle so why not us?' Eh?

Tremendous stuff

I'm scared they're going to sack him. I want him to stay, break all kinds of negative records and get them relegated, don't care whether it's this season or next. And then I want him publicly humiliated for being an excuse-mongering, arrogant fraud who lies about being an attack-minded genius. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

This cunt lost again?

To Hot Chocolate's 'It Started With a Kiss'... In respect to the recently departed Errol Brown, RIP. No other reason. Nope.

It'll be Perez he goes for.

4-0 Liverpool. Should be able to get about 2/1 for it.

What are people thinking for in-play bets? I can't get away from 1-1 but I'm tempted to go 2-1 to Man U

If the players are all as nervous as we all seem to be then I fear we'll choke unless we get an early goal. Our players are probably better on paper but the pressure on them not to lose is intense. I just hope Rafa can get them focused. I feel sick thinking about it.

Yep, I went for that. Won me about £80. Watch me cock it up as usual for the Bet365 offer. I seem to be expert at picking the wrong bet.

There's a great burger joint nearby called 'Meat Liquor' too if you are looking for something decent and quick.

I'm jealous that you live in Copenhagen. It's an awesome city. There's a pub called The Cock and Lion on Wigmore Street (just north of Oxford Street) that used to show Newcastle games and got a bit of a Newcastle crowd in it in the past. I don't live in London any more though so can't guarantee they still do. It's about a 5 min walk from Oxford Street too if you want to send the Mrs and kids off shopping while you watch it.

I'm not getting too downbeat about this. We lost, yes, but it was to the team at the top of the league and at their place and only by one goal. I think we can beat Sunderland on Sunday and start building some momentum.

Need to win on Sunday to get some momentum going.

big head?

Foul ffs

Here's gramps.

Jesus

Great ball Andros

It's almost like he was a panic loan or something.

We've been much better today but by God Rafa has got some work to do here.
