I think we will get heavily beat here, say 4-1.
Our team spirit is shot, our players look shot and morale is low.

Chaps, are there any other items you would like including in the match thread moving forward... I've sussed out how to embed virtually anything in the thread now...?

 

Newcastle seem to have gone very quickly from being the Dog to being the Tree

The only thing that needs shot now is Pards.

 

A heavy defeat indeed. But I can't even see us scoring, so I'll go for a convincing 3-0 to Chelski, where we don't even get a look in. Demba Ba will score.

 

Not expecting the greatest of games, if I hadn't already paid for the coach down I'd give it a miss.

 

A comfortable 3-0 victory for Chelsea. We play a beautiful hoof ball game for the entire match resulting in one shot on target. Pardew bemoans the loss of Cabaye, Remy and Colo and thinks maybe new tactics are in order.

 

Too be honest, I don't give a **** anymore!!!

 

Again.

 

I think quite a few have given up hope.

 

Howard Webb is the ref for this one. Our 0.5% chance of getting anything out of this game has just been reduced.

 

useless t**t, so far up his own ego

last seen v Swansea away, where a handball in the penalty area is not a handball
and an attempted headbutt is not an attempted headbutt according to him

 

Such is the unpredictability of our team that I wouldn't be at all surprised if we somehow snatched a draw.

 

2 Man City 23 42 53
3 Chelsea 23 23 50

A hard game for Chelsea tonight, it might just take enough out of them to give us a chance.

 

Avoided this one like the plague. In two minds whether to go to Hull as well.

 

I'll probably be going to Hull too. Should be able to get a result there.

13 Hull 24 -7 24
14 Sunderland 24 -11 24
15 Norwich 24 -18 24
16 West Brom 24 -6 23
17 C.Palace 24 -18 23
18 West Ham 24 -9 22
19 Cardiff 24 -22 21
20 Fulham 24 -31 19

 

I'll probably end up going. Back page as per usual haha

 

You're not Cliffy in disguise are you?

 

Hell no. I sat next to him going down to West Ham :-/
Reeked the bloody bus out last week!

 

I say we go and play a 1-6-4 system No point in playing a midfield cause our defenders will follow Pardews instructions and play direct football by hoofing everything out of defence up to our forwards. Predict a defeat by at least 3 on Saturday.
In a way I couldn't give a damn if we lost against Chelsea, Spurs and Hull if it meant waking some of our glorious leaders up, however, they probably wouldn't give a toss as long as we get 3 points to keep us in the PL before the end of the season.
