adios

Get the FUCK in. Title race over.

Anyone? Is this thing on?

Yeah, we're clearly going to be left ruing what could have been. Totally agree with Gloom, they were well deserving of that point.

On behalf on the alcoholic community, you have permission to make light of it. Yeah, he is defo not an alcoholic.

I think that was already the case before today. @@trooper

It''s the Cup, I think he just means that they might be more confident vs Newcastle.

At least Leicester are up already.

Think Newcastle are going down after watching that. Going to need to beat Spurs anyway.

wtf is the commentator talking about, that was never a penalty.

I think he's stolen that off MySpace tbf.

This is how I feel. And he's got a very good chance of getting back up at the first attempt. So a year of shit and then a great manager in a great league.

Yep, I had drowned my sorrows to our sealed fate. Cruel, cruel hope remains...

Don't remember it.

Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a very tall order, I just think it's not quite as grim as some are making out. On the upside, under any recent managers, I would assume that something like the Villa game would be seen as points in the bag and the players would rest on their laurels, but not under Rafa. So I really think 6 points from the next 2 games is achievable, and that might be enough. Going back to how we felt after the Norwich game, it's quite a bit more optimistic.

This is a team btw that only managed to draw with the worst Newcastle side in Premier League history, and well beyond.

Renton said somewhere that Sunderland have an easy run in, but I don't see it: Arsenal (h); Stoke (a); Chelsea (h); Everton (h); Watford (a).

There's always one, or in Toontastic's case, at least four.

I think 'cock smoking wanker' is a Swedish delicacy.

Oh good, I'm glad we have some contention. Thought this was going to be the most uninteresting poll of all time.

Yes, it's a hypothetical exercise, I'm not on the phone to Rafa about it. I've got a total mancrush on Rafa at this point, so I'd take Rafa in the Conference if that was the option.

Whats the difference between a terrorist training camp and an orphanage?

Rafa keeps Newcastle up and fucks off to Spain, or Rafa fails on the last day but stays in the Championship?

I think Cissé's looked better today tbh, and I don't rate him at all. Also think it's harsh to blame anyone for the goals. Sometimes you just get outplayed. They've been compact while not offering much going forward. Much, much better than what McClaren's team were producing.

Not happy about Sturridge starting. Is this the week this season he's going to play? At least Coutinho's only on the bench.
