    You know me, always sensitive to others feelings with a great sense of compassion and tact.

    What happens if I don't have a sister? Is it cousin first then mother? Or mother then cousin then aunt?

    I turned to the drink many months ago. Afraid I knew what heading our way after I watched Watford rip us a new arsehole at home. I was hoping to get a season ticket for Besiktas next season here in Istanbul, but they have sold out, on the back of them about to win the league and the ****ing amazing new Vodaphone Arena stadium they have just built. As they play in Black/White stripes too, I was going to fool myself into thinking I was watching NUFC. Thats that plan down the ****ter. I have a real fear for next season now, if this is how they play when they really have to, when their backs are against the wall and they are really trying, then God ****ing help us next season.. I see in improvement since Rafa has come either by the way. We are now shipping 3+ goals almost every game!!! HAHA. Its almost ****ing hilarious, but not quite.

    Are we allowed in, Premier League rules, to just throw the towel in? Just forfeit every game from now on and we can all just get on with our lives.

    Ah and Janmaat's just broken a few fingers punching a wall. Always helps.

    In a row with Lascelles, probably calling him out for not trying and feigning injury. At least someone in that dressing room has some heart.

    Yeah gotta say Lascelles is impressing me ATM. Not afraid to say it as it is, probably our best defender in the last few games when he has started. Surely him and Mbemba partnership at CB for the rest of the season. Also would seriously consider making him captain next year, might be a bit soon for him but I really like the way he dictates to those around him! Young, English and commanding a good basis to start building a spine around.

    I've said for a while Lascelles is a decent player. He's no world beater atm, but he's the best we've got.

    All I want is 4 defenders on the pitch. No midfielders at full back and no Steven Taylor. Mbemba will do RB for me, Colo, Lascelles and Dummett if possible. At least Colback can play LB unlike anyone else we have.

    I think it's time now to jack in the attempt to make the bigger name players play. We're heading down, we might as well see if there's fight anywhere else in the squad. The problem we have is that Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Cisse, Tiote all know they won't be at the club, regardless of relegation. So why play them? Makes no sense. Rafa needs to treat it like a penalty shoot out - have you got the balls for this, or not? Townsend - yes, Sissoko - no, De Jong - yes, Gini - no, Perez - yes, Tiote - no. Just get them out - I don't get the loyalty. At some point you have to say "you're responsible, so you're not playing". We've not been helped by having a dogsh*t reserves set up as well, by the way - Heardman, Sterry and others seem nowhere near good enough either.

    But I'd just go 4-4-2. It's how we'll play in the Championship, never mind the fact we should be playing it in the Premier League.

    Mbemba Colo Lascelles Dummett/Colback
    Townsend Shelvey Colback/Saivet Aarons/Perez
    De Jong/Perez Mitrovic

    Just stick all the "names" on the bench. If we then won it would be such a huge finger up at the so called big players.
