Don't give it all up just yet; we could just be having a poor run of games - the cup loss is unfortunate but if we can rediscover our form from earlier in the next two or three weeks I think I'll consider that we've moved on as a football club, even if it's not as far on as we'd hope.

An interesting sentiment.

That's the spirit - you just needed to look on the bright side. Relegation is "exciting" and you're right about the semi final. I guess you're this year's Bradford City. Something to aspire to anyway - best of luck with that. God I'm bored...

What even happened? That video has a laughable attempt at a replay but obviously comes from before the time cameras were everywhere.

...you guys think that maybe we went too far? I hope he hasn't done anything drastic... Getting relegated isn't the end of the world mate! Look at Wolves, they're making a decent fist of it in League One.

How are you not more concerned with what's going on at your own club? You're going to be relegated. And I don't really see your team coming back up if I'm honest. We may be stuck in mediocrity, but we're not going down. You aren't going to be able to 'fight for your place'. I saw Poyet's interview last week - he looked like a man who regretted everything about his decision to join Sunderland. You're running out of teams you're vaguely capable of beating, you really are. And you've just come on here to taunt us about the fact that we're going to be 10th. I guess the implication should be that we should be envious that we're not in a relegation fight? Mad bastard.

Maybe he said assist and it got messed up in translation somewhere? Still not sure what he's expecting that to sound like though.

I'd actually forgotten that Sunderland existed. Them too, I guess.

I can't find any links to an interview with him but if he said that he can fuck right off. Why would anyone want to go and watch this team play in the FA Cup after the last few years? I'm amazed we got 25k.

This one? http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/newcastle-united-admit-cup-competitions-are-not-a-priority/

Is there any other team in the league as uninterested in success as we are? I'm not sure there is.

They did.

I don't even think it's a question of quality - we're a better side than fucking Cardiff, it's just that Pardew cannot motivate the players to play shit teams. At all.

Was just going to say, we seem to lose to such utter dross!

Agreed, Elliot is terrible, I've never been convinced by him. With that said, no one has covered themselves in glory today.

Is Ben Arfa even still playing?

Remy and Shola on...probably a bit much to ask though.

Good grief, we're losing to Cardiff... well that's that.

On the plus side I've got money on 2-1. And on Cisse getting two... probably a bit much to hope though.

Gah... Cardiff level. Balls.

Get in!!! CIsse!!

I don't think he's gonna get that hat trick CT... sounds like another game where it'll be about winning by a single goal.

Well that sounds as if it would have been pretty disappointing to watch. Cardiff presumably happy to draw here in fairness.

We seem to be struggling with penetration in the final third - as ever.

Haidara sounds like he's having a good game.
