Varadi

I'd have to re-apraise. After all it takes some kind of genius to just keep losing to anybody. Think Norwich will play us off the park. Aye, even 100 monkeys with 100 typewriters would win a game eventually. Or something.

Seriously, what's the fucking point? :'(

And Ba in all of them - 60% of our goals just fucked off to Chelsea.....

Ah man, you've got to admire them really - trying their best to cheer us up!

Oh dear. Any idea what sort of team they've put out? Sunderland 22 Mignolet 02 Bardsley 19 Bramble 24 Cuellar 03 Rose (Colback - 20' ) 07 Larsson 08 Gardner 15 Vaughan 21 Johnson 23 McClean 26 Fletcher Substitutes 20 Westwood 12 Kilgallon 14 Colback 09 Campbell 10 Wickham 11 McFadden Well that could be embarrassing....

Aye, I tend more towards the positives with Sammy. Very, very raw, but there's a lot of ability in there.

If Fergie can't get on the pitch today I don't see him starting this one. Probably Jonas in instead. Or maybe Remy.

Today was the first time I've thought that it looks like that might be the case. There was one point in the first half when Sammy, Abeid and I think it was Bigi were all pointing and gesturing to each other as if trying to figure out where they were supposed to be playing. Complete lack of leadership on the pitch, none of them looked like they gave a single solitary fuck.

I just think he completely lacks a football brain. And he's a bit of a soft shite. Shame really.

Well I've previously been in favour of giving him the rest of the season but that was so, so very bad I'm really not sure any more. I know we had players missing but at the end of the day you still have 11 highly paid professional players on the pitch, they should surely at least look like something that resembles a football team? I think he probably has the next 3 games, and a minimum requirement of 5 points - any less than that and we probably need a change while there's still some winnable games left. No idea who mind....

Very harsh sending off I thought, but we didn't really miss him.

Really bad today mind. Second goal was almost comical - "oh shit, I'm the wrong side of my man, I know, I'll step up and play him offside!"

Absolutely spot on.

The only physical option we have that isn't playing is Marv, and him not starting is perfectly understandable IMO. Not entirely sure what else people were expecting?

He's on the bench so I guess not. Sammy looked decent the other night tbf.

No Lua Lua - is he on the bench?

The way some carry on they fear winning as it stops their bleating for a few days I think there's just some fans are never happy unless they're moaning about something - there's this one bloke in our local is literally never satisfied, even when we win he'll complain about the performance and analyse every individual error. Even the day we beat the mackems 5-1 he spent the rest of the night complaining about not keeping a clean sheet and how we should've scored more!

It's looking like every player we have with first team experience will be playing today - don't think there's too many options!

We've lost 9 out of 11, the league form can't get much worse! Seriously though, really hope for a decent performance, a win would be great for morale, and I really, really want us to win the bloody cup one day!

I was wrong before - Tiote has gone apparently: http://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/soccer/tiote-away-for-fa-cup-tie-579932.html

Could be something to do with us having to leave our leading scorer out at the last minute and replace him with Shola. Obviously that would be out of the question. Could be something in that like. I also like the idea that all Shola needs to improve his performances is a bit of criticism - if that was true the comments he'll have heard from the crowd over the years would've had him eclipsing Pele by now!

Probably Arsenal - think Sagna starts ahead of him for France.

Don't think Shola will start tomorrow tbh - think the 2 games in 4 days thing is just to give him a bit of an excuse. And I've no problem with Pards building up Shola's ego, I reckon underneath that mountainous, mackem-slaying exterior lies a gentle, insecure soul.

Aye, think this is his last game
