Was concerned at first on how we stand off the opposition and don't close them down,however it's a superb tactic as we keep our shape and don't leave any free space for them to run into. We looked so compact today and made it very difficult for them to get through. Players certainly look like they are starting to fully understand their position when we don't have the ball.

Just done the prediction thing and have us as winning the league

Impressed with Anita at RB.

Klose out for the season for Norwich. Huge blow to them.

At least Rafa is trying something different with the midfield as it has been shocking with Shelvey. Hopefully we will be able to be more solid with 2 defensive midfielders,no point going gung-ho from the start.

Think it will be a draw tomorrow between Norwich and Sunderland. Sunderland will take the lead and then sit back and invite pressure and Norwich will equalise late on.

Me neither,but I don't think it's entirely out of the question. Ashley knows relegation would bring a huge shit storm his way. His only trump card to keep the fans happy is Rafa.

Do you think Ashley would go all out to keep Rafa here in order to try and keep some peace with the fans after the pain of relegation?

Sure I read somewhere that we have never beaten Swansea at home in the Premier League.

Sounds weird but would rather he did that if when we go down. Allows a full season for him to rebuild while still remaining competitive. Doing in the Premier League could backfire considering how bad every single thing at the club is.

Still think he would improve us by taking Sissoko's place at RW. Sissoko is a liability and an absolute fraud of a winger. At lease with Janmaat there he can cross a ball better than Sissoko and will offer more help defensively.

I'm not giving up all hope just yet. It's looking highly unlikely for sure but that's mainly due to the players and not the upcoming fixtures. The sooner we drop Janmaat, Taylor, and Moussa the more chance we will have. We can get wins against Swansea, Palace and Villa,and I do feel we can sneak something out of either Man City at home and Spurs at home. Wewin those first 3 games and Sunderland/Norwich drop points we have a lifeline. We just need to sort the starting 11. Get Saivet and De Jong in there somehow as they will give more that the shit we have in the starting lineup at the minute. It's nearly impossible,but not over yet.

Bunch of fucking cunts. Taylor and Janmaat need to train with the kids.

If we go down in this manner it will be truly horrific. http://s20.postimg.org/evbbpge4t/image.png Whatever happens I think it's safe to say we need Norwich to get an absolute pasting by someone. Arsenal and Man Utd need to hit them for 6 in those consecutive games.

Would much prefer a Palace win. We're six points behind Norwich with a game in hand. If they lose to Palace and we somehow beat Southampton and Man City then we are neck and neck with a much better run in then them. Even if we don't win against Southampton and Man City we still have chances to get those points playing easier teams that what Norwich will be facing.

"Your at your most vulnerable when you have just scored" Shame it will be them scoring their fifth goal before we quickly hit them hard and score our first goal seconds later.

Don't think he cares what league were in tbh,where else will he have the chance to advertise his brand for fuck all cost. Also isn't he still involved with Oldham? renamed the ground to sports direct something iirc.

Such a weird season. A team who were in our position this time last season are about to win the Premier League,if we had our shit together we would all be laughing and loving the Pardew relegation slide,along with Sunderland who would surely be down if we had beaten them in both derbies. But because we have so many players who were signed for silly money as well as no proven Premier League quality and,or experience,here we are.

Why is playing away from home so fucking difficult? I mean it's still a huge patch of grass with 2 goals at either end. Still the same ball.Even playing with the same group of retards mates. It just goes to show our mindset of the squad. Players so insecure and nervous that unless they're playing in an environment where they have spent the last few weeks and months they simply cannot perform.

4-4-2. Drop Moussa. S Taylor/Mbemba RB with Janmaat RW to act as a full back and give us effectively 5 at the back when we don't have the ball. When we do,go forward and just get balls crossed in back post to Mitro to either score or knock down to fox in the box Cisse. Job done.

At least the next Football manager will be interesting.
