Big game this weekend. Expect Carvs to hype the boys up for war, they will go out and run around for 90 minutes, show passion while forgetting it is a football match. We will on to lose 3-0, Carvs will lick his lips a few times in the post match interview, saying only we can fix this, and we will then have a week of players coming out in the media saying sorry to the fans. Can't wait.

Gouffran is one of the worst players I have ever seen. My brother's mate used to be a coach in your academy and said Paul Dummett was one of the worst players he ever coached.

Ryan

Gouffran is/was decent when used probably, but he is useless in the famous false #3 role.

Devastated lad, he even took Shola with him. Not sure how I'm going to cope.

Someone playing on the left wing, whose role is to help out the LB and nothing else.

Sounds like McAnuff for us last year tbh

Next seasons kits have been leaked.

I like the third

Ryan

I quite like the home one. With Wonga plastered in the middle, they can never look great, but it is certainly an improvement on the last few home kits.

I get the feeling Janmaat goes to bed every night and prays that it's all a dream and he never joined us.

Hes actually very competent, Netherlands should use him more.

"When you tally up Pardew’s points at Newcastle and Palace it comes to 51 from 31 games – good enough for eighth. Without Pardew at the control deck, the Magpies and Eagles nose-dived, gaining only 26 points from 31 games – relegation form." - The Guardian

Manager of the Season award's 2nd favorite after Jose

Ryan

Nice of them to ignore that he is still one of the reasons we are so bad.

Are you ready?

“We can threaten the top teams,” he said. “We’re not going to win the Premier League but if we invest right why can’t we go after the European spots, the Champions League spots? Why not? Look at Southampton. They lost so many players last summer and had to replace them but they’ve done a great job this year.”

NO AMBITION! SACK THE MAN.

Ryan

Sounds like Coloccini may be stripped of the captaincy come the summer, with Janmaat replacing. Great decision if it happens, sick of being captained by a coward and Janmaat has consistently led by example this season. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure Janmaat will be staying past this season, so probably won't get the chance to be captain. Hope if we do promise to give it him he stays for a bit longer at least, with a proper head coach, captain and defence (hopefully!) we may actually do well for once.

What a time to be alive.

Just had a flashback to a few years back when Pardew robbed Marveaux off King Kenneth. Was pissed off at the time but has he been any good?

Ash

I'm actually worried about this rut you're in, you're surely due another win and if it continues it's going to be us at this rate.

He's good, but quite injury prone. Never really got a good run of games for us in his best position either.

Ryan

Quite impressed with how much close we actually are to going down, and now pretty much all our hopes rest on Sunderland managing to pick up 4 or less points from games against Southampton, Everton, Leicester, Arsenal and Chelsea.

With our 4 games left, any competent team would be looking for 12 points, but I can only see us picking up 2 at best.
