Ever since that tackle on Rob Lee?

I loved that Shola video although it does make me wonder how he's managed to win successive contracts from us. Certainly a new forward would be the best way to really see if HBA can make a difference for us or not. I'd agree with Fish in terms of how to set the team up.

There were some rumblings about Taylor being away...

WTF at this thread

I was under the impression that Heitinga wasn't actually very good. Otherwise why would Martinez not be playing him. I've also heard many Everton fans complain about him in the past. Perhaps it's just cover until the end of the season given that Colo is out for a while?

Yeeeahh... some of the comments on that thread are pretty disgusting. But with that said, the thread itself is admirable, I suppose. Except that it has sadly highlighted a large number of racists.

Just discovered Nolan will be banned for our match with West Ham. 4 game ban for a second red card in a season.

Now that we're being cut adrift, I think I'd prefer to see Manure struggle. It'd just be nice for a change. Have we ever finished above the in the PL? I don't think we have...

Are we saying then that he just isn't as good as Colo? I assumed he had a bit further to go yet.

Well look MBiwa has to get up to speed sooner or later, may as well be now. Colo is important but he isn't going to be here much longer anyway. I'd be more concerned if we lost Cabaye or Remy.

Hehe, yeah was a bad day for West Ham Cardiff too. I think that's all the important ones.

Could Cisse possibly be worse than Shola? The only contribution Shola had all game was winning a free kick, hardly any holding up. Also, Remy isn't bolted on to stick around, so we may as well look at our striking options afresh.

Precisely. I mean we have cover in this area but he's in such good form that it's a shame.

Yeah guess so! I'd like to think we're as good as Everton on paper, but I guess Martinez is a better manager than Pardew.

I was under the impression that flying two footed lunges were illegal. Am I wrong? Apologies if so.

Ah well, looks like we're coming 8th this year. Southampton got stuffed so we're still 6 up on them. We were never gonna hit the champs league places anyway.

To be fair, it was a red card all day. It was a mad challenge even if he did get the ball.

So unfair...Krul pulled out of that.

On the plus side, it's one I'd have us down to lose anyway.

We look knackered...

The number of potential injuries are starting to look worrying...

Can someone explain to me what happened with our subs there? I saw Yanga Mbiwa for Colo but who left for Haidara?

Er... ok so that changes things. Still don't think West Brom have it in them to win this, but we're not likely to get anywhere now either.

I dunno, I think I'd stick with what we've got now and just hope it pays off eventually. We've nothing on the bench really to shake things up with.

This is just one of those games where we're inexplicably rubbish isn't it.
