ooh ooh, forgot Joey Barton, 'orrible little yobbo that he is!

No it doesn't mean that at all, it means we should not be relying so heavily on academy "prospects" and a well past his prime player like Shane. Please also bear in mind that the only first team players we have injured at the moment the moment are Danny Ings and Redmond, who was losing his place anyway. I'm concerned by the thought of playing the better sides with acaddamy prospects filling in for JWP, Oriel, Bertrand or KWP, for whom way have no experienced cover at all should they be sidelined for any reason.

Our problem, as I see it, it is we have a very thin squad coupled with a very intense playing style. Our success so far has relied on us having our best eleven fit, as well as in top match condition and playing to our limits. Hence the drop off, a key injury or two, probably players carrying injuries we don’t know about, a bit of fatigue, a bit off dip in form here and there and suddenly we are exposed. Stating the obvious we need to add some proven quality, we need a stronger bench, we need more co er and competition in every area of the pitch.

I think it’s because the Ralph style has the team playing on its limits all of the time, hence the burnout.

I’m not sure, we were 2 up, but they’ve had all the chances.

Effing Fergie time still applies then?

I love Shane, but he is properly over the hill.

True, silly old me!

Fred’s a right little front-bum

This is where having absolutely nothing on the bench comes into play

That was before the equaliser

Not sure I can keep watching

Maybe, Djenepo needs to go off

I’ve got a stress headache

Think we may need an early settler

Nothing to see there, move along .

When did players screaming under a challenge become a thing?

Good boy Oriel

Shutup Harry

Utd have sussed us out

Thx

What’s wrong with Redmond?

Shows how far we have come when top sides alter formations to play us.

Pardew, mostly for his little jig celebration. Steve McLarren, various reasons but mostly in the infamous Dutch tv interview when he spoke English as a foreign language.

Yep, it’s one I was most looking forward to when I thought we would have fans back. Still looking forward to it. Might be a bit like wolves, bit of cancelling each other out. They are a threat.
