7 and only 5 in the League. I think it's a poor return personally, not many goals and all against relegation fodder, at home (in the League).

I don't get that argument. He isn't relegation prone, he's just been playing in a really crap QPR team for a couple of seasons. Kelvin has seen just as many relegations and has gone down with 3 different clubs. QPR are in for a very tough season in the Champ and may well go straight down to League 1. I doubt Green will want to be any part of that and may well take a pay cut (he's probably already got a relegation clause in his contract) to get away from there.

How is it better than any other striped shirt? The shoulders don't line up properly. A similar but better effort was this one from our first Championship season.

I've already spend 90 minutes supporting City, so I'm hoping that will neutralise the effect. It may also produce large quantities of water and hydrogen, I can't remember my GCSE chemistry.

If Utd win, City are guaranteed 2nd place, unless Arsenal stick about 6 past Sunderland in midweek. In theory City would have nothing to play for next weekend.

City - If you let us win it could REALLY p*ss off some Scousers. Just a thought.

Henry and Carrick... it's like listening to paint dry.

My bad, misread the table. However City are guaranteed top 3 and no play off, which is their main concern. Hull fans will be praying for an Arsenal win, so Utd have nothing to play for next weekend. Newcastle fans vice-versa.

Even a draw would suffice although realistically it would take an 11 goal swing even if Arsenal win both games.

I thought that was in from the moment Kolarov gave away the corner.

What's betting City lose this, then play an absolute blinder against us next weekend.

The last time we played City away on the last day of the season. Coincidentally, our previous game was a 6-1 defeat, shortly before playing Arsenal in the Cup final. Sound familiar.

I just love the idea of an old man, 40 years from now sitting with a grand child on his knee. "Listen up lad, I'll tell you all about the worst Saints game I ever went to." "What happened Grandad?" "It was a 7-1 win against Aston Villa back in 2015." "That doesn't sound like a bad game." "Oh it was, not because of the result but I had to stand and wait for a whole 30 seconds whilst a man in a room looked at a video replay." "What's so bad about that Grandad?" "It completely ruined the 'flow of the game'. Ruined it I tells ya!!" "But what about every substitution ever in the history of football, don't they usually take about 30 seconds each?" "Those 30 seconds are completely different to video replay 30 seconds. You're too young to understand."

Depending on other results, including Swansea's game against City this afternoon, we could finish anywhere from 5th to 8th. City vs Saints (60 points) Stoke vs Liverpool (62 points) Everton vs Spurs (61 points) Palace vs Swansea (56 points before today's game) All 1500 kick off on Sunday We have by far the best goal difference of anyone outside the top 4. IF we could pull off a win here, Liverpool would need to win at Stoke with the GD involved. Jay Rod on the bench?

We've won every league game I've been to this season, 7 I think so not too many good performances against us. However I did go to the Palace Cup game and Chamakh put in the performance of his life. The kind of once a season blinder Adebayor usually plays against us. Worst... Mannone stands out for me. The week after the 8-0 he had another nightmare at home to Arsenal, adding to his list of personal howlers. Hasn't been seen in the League since. The goals conceded against Cork and Tadic were highlights. Mike Williamson was utter garbage when Newcastle came to town. Woiczek.... Woych.... Chesney? Szczec.... The Arsenal 'keeper was at fault for both their goals at St Mary's Paddy McNair got dragged off after about half an hour when Man Utd came to SMS.

That was easily onside. Every fan, pundit, journalist or otherwise I've seen said it was onside. That's beside the point anyway. If it's debatable whether someone is offside, they're not offside. Like any other foul, if you can't see it you can't give it. The benefit of doubt should lie with the attacker, offside shouldn't be given just because a play-safe lino thinks it might be.

W00T!!

I don't want to tempt fate after what happened in 2005 but I'm starting to think we might win this.

Has a team ever scored 2 hat tricks by half time? I think Pires and Pennant did it just before the 2003 Cup final over the full 90.

Against Sunderland it was 2-0 after 35 minutes...

It's actually 5 but nobody told the lino.

Went for a dump in the 11th minute. Did I miss anything?

'Ave it!

Probably looking to see if HCDAJ as back up or if he needs to be offloaded full stop. I would personally go with the latter.

I'm also glad we've avoided any of these stupid button up polo style shirts with a collar. What is the point in a collar on a football shirt? We're playing sport, not going for a 'cheeky Nandos'.
