Same here. Hope they lose today and finish behind us = no Europe for Kenny

In fairness, it has. Before Kenny = fairly racist After Kenny = incredibly racist.

We shouldn't be relying on other teams. If we can't beat teams like Wolves at home then we don't really deserve to finish in the top 5. Neither Arsenal or Spurs beat Wolves at home... They didn't give away 2 goal leads in them though....... That's because they couldn't manage to get into 2 goal leads.

norwich equalise

Harry for England.

Barely noticed him yesterday, hopefully just a little rusty after his time out.

Really poor performance yesterday, we just didn't seem to get started, and Wolves looked more up for it than some of our lot, which was really strange. The derby could be a defining game for Pardew - lose that with another poor performance and I think we'll see large numbers start to turn on him, play well and win and he'll be sorted for the season.

They'll sit deep and try to counter-attack, we'll be careful not too commit too many forward so resort to long balls again. It's going to be a shit game, fancy us to sneak it simply because they usually drop their arses, but would probably take a draw.

Poor game yesterday - got off to a shaky start and really seemed to hit his confidence. Not much between him and Perch at the moment...

Voted Good, based mainly on league position against expectations, although recent performances have been disappointing.

very defensive lineup from Wolves, expected to see Ebanks-Blake and Kightly - looks like they're going to park the bus...

Anyone watching West Ham v Palace? Palace look decent so far, Zaha is lively.

Bassong plays there? wtf He's on loan - only played twice so far, but if he misses out it means Stearman will play, and he's terrible.

according to Twitter Bassong hasn't travelled either. all going a bit too well....

Very good news - been their best player by a distance lately.

Usual combination of nervous anticipation - thinking a narrow 2-1 win.

Definitely going to be Raylor starting today. Best chance of seeing HBA is if we're either chasing the game or out of sight with 20-25 minutes to play.

Such a big player for us - for all of the talk of his partnership with Cabaye they've only actually played 12 games together (W6 D5 L1) so hopefully they can get straight back into the groove this afternoon.

Such a strange situation - clearly an exceptionally talented player and I love watching him play but Pardew obviously doesn't fancy him as a team player, and as he sees more of him than anyone then I guess we have to respect his opinion. Can't help but think that if we had a better right back he would get more game time on the right wing, and even if Enrique was still here he could have played much more wide left. Hopefully we can address the full back situation in the summer and Ben Arfa will stay and be a success. Apart from anything else, European matches would create a lot more chances for appearances...

Strange carry on. Apart from anything else Connor is probably good mates with McCarthy and presumably not too pleased with how he's been treated. Good from our point of view though - pretty much totally negates the "new manager effect"

Quite a bit of the Chelsea defending in that game needed a comedy soundtrack.

Italy 7 - 1 England Ouch.
