West Ham doing us a favour. Decent-ish point...all adds to the total and I think we'll scrape survival this year. BUT WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO US!!!?!?!?!?

I agree, derby games are weird and we've been beaten by Benfica. In themselves not reason to sack a manager but Pardew is going to have to deal with the fact that we need to generate some forward momentum which Sunderland now have. Spirits are low. We do need to sort out Cabaye and get some leaders on the pitch.

True. He's going to need to put a rocket up his own arse or he'll become a dead man walking.

please ban this idiot

have you just realised there's no god?

How long is left?

Big wanks all round

Clearly carving himself a career for when the football ends (ie pretty soon)

That ref dived!

Arguably capitalism has killed more. Possibly. Also, PDC's got a fucking monkey's heed scans pretty well.

I think you misunderstood his post... Either that or I did!

bravo!

The man excels at being unlikable. http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/21974798

Donnay.

Disagree that opinions of Ashley are set in stone for everyone. I am fickle and if we keep hold of good players and buy better ones and even....win something! I will give the credit to Ashley.

As much as I'd have loved to see Villa go down, I want these twats to get relegated even more.

To be fair, we've already beaten three of those teams this season...!

Yep. Yesterday was a big game. We're still in the Europa League and have climbed out of trouble. I really don't think we'll get sucked back down into the bottom 3. The lack of energy that was dragging us down seems to have been fixed by a very impressive transfer window. I hope Ashley learns the need to keep things fresh and moving forward with the squad. The panic that set in with certain people wanting Pardew out does show how important it is to have calm heads in football.

Very big win.

In other words, all three outcomes are possible. You heard it here first.

Really hoping for a win and think we could well get it. A point wouldn't be the end of the world but a loss would have us shitting ourselves again. Not confident enough to predict a win, nobody seems to be really on form in front of goal.

Having to read CT's "analysis" is like watching paint stay wet.

Goodness me.
