Pamplemousse

Imagine where they'd be if they had never hired Pardew

Seeing as we have 1 point from 5 league games, we can’t really get much ‘weaker’ can we? [emoji15] We’ve been playing weakened teams the whole season long.

A well-reasoned opinion, since Puel is nowhere near the relegation zone and never has been as a Premier League manager. People who keep denigrating his record are just embarrassing themselves.

If Puel was our manager, we wouldn't be in the relegation zone, that is a fact. No other manager could have done what he did with the mediocre squad we had, and the lengthy injuries to our best striker and best centre back.

Obviously not when they were winning the league, but they weren't heading for relegation. And I doubt very few wanted him in the first place. Football fans in general aren't very intelligent.

Leicester fans wanted Ranieri out too.

This club is a joke. Over 7k tickets and now they're off sale!!!! Tragic really.

Another top half finish though. Whether you like it or not, the fact he managed to get this squad of players as high as he did is something which probably even Guardiola would not be able to manager. So yes, Puel is world class. You can either accept these facts or be honest and admit that you were wrong and I was right all along.

1-0 win - McCarthy goal from a free kick inside our own half.

Exactly, Sunderland is a unique case. I'd argue Aston Villa were in a worse state than we currently are, and yes, that had a tricky first season, but they're flying now. Get the managerial appointment right and we'll do well. That's why I'd stick with Mark Hughes, whatever happens this season, the squad needs a major overhaul, and a bit of stability on the coaching side of things will be beneficial.

If we’re already down, there really should be a protest organised for the Man City game.

It’ll happen, you watch, we only play well against the big sides.

Hughes isn't to blame, it's not his fault we've got a demoralised **** poor squad. Subs were odd though, agreed there.

Watch us play out of our skins and win on Sunday. Followed by a thrashing at home to Bournemouth.

I disagree, 10 points from the next 4 will see us through. That's one point, so now we need to win the next three.

One of the worst performances of the season, we only got a point because Leicester were equally as crap.

We should be the ones pushing for a winner and yet Leicester are the ones looking the more threatening

We’re going to win

This is beyond crap. Please do something Mark Hughes

Oh good, we have a slow and ponderous attacking style, let’s bring on Steven Davis

Just as well we haven’t scored yet, we can’t keep leads. Score after 85 minutes and we have a chance of winning.

It's a poor game in all honesty. Get Austin on please, need someone to aim those crosses at.

Hoedt has done OK so far

We’re improving

Anyone been able to resist chucking something at the screen every time Krueger and Reed appear?
