I've just stupidly watched our game on motd after spending most of yesterday afternoon in a massive sulk. Watching Phil Neville now droning on about us isn't helping today's prospects. I thought on first viewing yesterday Janmaat's second yellow was a harsh one and after seeing it again I think he's been unlucky. If he doesn't have a booking i doubt he would have had a first yellow for that. I'm wholly relying on Hull and Sunderland not getting anymore points for the rest of the season but I just can't see it happening.

I really don't want to see a weekend last the last round of fixtures with loads of bullshit results. Praying QPR, Sunderland and Burnley go down now.

That red card could have just killed us.

That red card could have saved our season.

I can't grasp what logic has amounted to Ryan Taylor starting ahead of any of those outfield players on the bench. I can't believe I'm saying this either but I'm pleased we've got Gutierrez in that midfield because he seems to only one with an ounce of fight in him. I can't see us staying up.

Too scared to believe that.

How likely is it that we could survive on 35 points?

It would be hard to believe that he wouldn't at least consider walking. He has utterly failed and is on the verge of being part of the most embarrassing relegation in Premier League history.

Feel sick looking at that league table. We're actually going down aren't we?

I can't remember a player persistently diving yet getting away with it as much in one game as Mane for Southampton.

If anyone is going to manage the most embarrassing relegation in Premier League history I imagine it will be us. Our next game against Swansea is massive.

Deserves to be quoted again. I find this particularly comforting when so many people seem to now be claiming we were wrong to sack him.

I shouldn't be but I'm really surprised Abeid hasn't started this one.

The only thing more tedious than having Pardew has our manager is his apologists banging on how good he is every time Palace win a game while conveniently forgetting how complicit he was in the awful shit state we're currently in. I'm more so aiming this at the media than the minority of our fan base despite that being equally tiresome.

We could lose every game for the remainder of the season and I still wouldn't want Pardew back or somehow forget he was a terrible manager for us. He has been one of the major causes in our predicament now and until we get rid of the rest of his staff we won't be rid of his god awful system. It's just going to be a god awful grind until the summer til we can find out what calibre of manager is coming in and to what level the owner will back him.

I actually thought he'd be dropped yesterday because of the Man u game. I didn't realise he was injured. I was foaming.

I'm really shocked at the length of the ban and how the club hasn't even tried to contest it. It will be interesting to see how they deal with Evans given he is denying the charge despite blatantly spitting on him first. I'd have probably judged anything over 3 as harsh. It's an awful thing to do but 7 games seems mighty excessive. Cisse must have been desperate to get out of a few games, It's record time for accepting a charge.

It was the worst game he's had for us since he's come back from loan but he at least attempted to pass the ball around.

It was almost appropriate that we conceded a goal like that given how much of a non-entity our entire game plan and effort levels were. There were numerous individuals who had poor games but the most worrying aspect was how unlike an organised unit anything was. It's almost as if we practiced standing in our final third of the pitch without actually doing anything all week. I can't believe how poor we were at keeping the ball. It wasn't even League 2 standard.

I'm pleased we won but that was painful.

Santon assist for the Inter goal. Bombed down the left and cut it back for Guarin. He was rubbish at right back in the 1st half, looked much better since he was moved back over to the left.

I thought he was our best player in the first half but one of the worst in the second. It was absolutely baffling how he wasn't taken off instead of Cabella. Even if he was desperate to throw Obertan on at least stick Cabella on the left, Sammy was knackered. I'm not sure why he seems to get such a hard time from some of the fans.

Couldn't agree any more with this.

We need an actual manager. It's exactly the same dross ideas Pardew used to spin out.

Awful. Missing those 2 sitters was never going to end well for us.
