OTF

We're still most definitely favourites to go down, there's no guarantee against Villa let alone Crystal Palace, but win both of those and we'll probably be in with a shot at survival on the final day.

Fucking infuriating. Even the way he jogged on to the pitch gave the appearance that he's completely full of himself. Slow and lazy as fuck, a glory hound with not enough talent for glory.

I'm glad Colback got the goal. He's busted a gut and been valuable since Rafa came in after looking utterly useless not so long ago. Likewise with Anita last week.

Fucking Shelvey, have a go at him. Moving about like he'd been out there 180 minutes instead of 20. A good result, great given the position we were in at the end of the half. Should keep the spirits high.

The touch insta-killed the space, he needed more momentum or to hit it right away.

That was a text book free kick in the box there, what's the ref playing at?

Lucky they're a heartless bunch or someone would have had a tap in at the back post.

Rafa, pulling out the rope-a-dope tactics?

Wow, nice determined play and a lovely goal from Colback.

Milner never would have gone down so softly when he played for us. Moving to a favoured club gives you that get out of jail card far too frequently. The absolute worst aspect of the game.

Not a chance it would have been given. Shelvey the useless lazy twat would have something to prove against this lot?

Time to sub Tiote out before his exit is non-optional.

Geez, Cisse get that shot off.

The comeback is on!

It was a very good hit, but it was almost like Lascelles was trying to stay out of the way.

That's it now.

Disappointing, we looked really comfortable for the first minute.

I'm surprised to see the same line up. I thought with there being a shortened turn around for this game he might have made a few changes.

Hope there's some more than competent fitness and conditioning professionals who can help ensure that the players are fresh and ready for the trip to Liverpool on Saturday.

Good result for us. Great result for enthusing the squad, particularly after having gone behind to a patently obvious offside 'goal'. If we'd seen this teamwork and desire through the season....

Indeed, as much as it's great to see, it's so frustrating.

Good game for Townsend, a lot of running, effort was there.

Kompany is having a shocker.

Linesman of the year at it again.

They'd be able to keep each other onside (in their application of the rules).
