Unfortunately, I think Villa might just get out of it by the skin of their teeth. They haven't looked too bad in the last few games and they have winnable fixtures coming up.

Yeah we played some tidy stuff in the second half, just a shame we couldn't put a chance away. Only criticism I would have is that I would have chucked Marveaux on earlier.

Win tomorrow and we can start looking up the table.

Elliot. Harper is 2 appearances away from 200 though isn't he? Would be very surprised if he didn't make that milestone. Can see him playing one of the games in the OP and coming on / maybe even starting the last game of the season.

Out for five weeks.

Watch them come out to the French national anthem or something. But I don't mind, all a bit of fun.

Just someone that can implement a style of play and philosophy from top to bottom.

BBC have an image of Krul for their 'Sportsday Breaking Transfer News' on their homepage - for no particular reason of course. Was worried as f*** for a few seconds.

We have to get someone in ASAP, this will put a massive dampener on the Reading match otherwise.

Somethings just popped up on my FB timeline about a friends mother translating for a 'black French dude' at St James'. Don't have any reason to doubt the guy, might not necessarily be Remy though.

The fee being reported is only a few million Euro's right? Just get him in now.

What's the general consensus on how many points will be enough this year?

I know we still have Ben Arfa to come back and that Cabaye will improve having just returned; but its scary that unless bodies come in that's just about all we have going forward. Never looked like scoring today.

Isolated.

I will take that. Reading is a must win, hopefully there will be another body in the door before then.

If you didn't laugh you would cry.

Best line up that can be expected.

Only been on a matter of minutes.

A lot of the players out there really have no future at this club.

Is this the right poll? Even if people don't want him sacked, who in the right mind hasn't lost faith in Pardew?

Do we have any stats on how many interceptions Tiote and Bigi both made? As I noticed Tiote made a few of these yet not sure how many Bigi did. People who are selling sell him - how much do you think that we would get for him? Also do you really think we will bring a replacement in? Don't say Bigi either as our squad isn't good enough to do so. Another thing is that Bigi is still only young and he does look a very good prospect, yet he's still unproven at this level whereas Tiote is. Yes he is out of form, as have many of our other supposed big name players this season too. Before everybody was giving Tiote their full vitriol it was Cabaye earlier on in the season. There has to be much more than the "he's a liability" drivel that has been spouted on here. Tiote - 5 interceptions, 4 tackles. 89/99 passes completed. Bigi - 3 interceptions, 0 tackles. 61/65 completed.

I didn't think his all round play was that bad tbh, pretty decent passing display from him. Just a couple of mistakes overshadowed that.
