Did a job and got a result. Not a good game by any stretch but the goals were very well made and very well finished. The odd hairy moment at the back but we generally defended competently with Mavro standing out. Everyone worked hard and did a job. Got to say, Bowen was ok but did not look like an E...

So Spurs have lost. They will be right in the mix if we win today, as will Palace if they lose tomorrow. 

Keep believing!

I'm with the optimists. Just think of how we attacked a strong Chelsea side and then think of how much weaker Burnley are. I predict a 3-0 win, yes a first clean sheet for gawd knows how long it is now. I also reckon Nuno will start Disasi. Five goals on the trot for Jimmy and one for Taty too. 

That's an impressive write-up. Ok, so he's not match-fit but there's no question he'll be fit and capable of at least an hour. Question is, which is worse - Disasi having played nothing for a while, or Kilman having played almost nothing for a while? I know which one I would choose, but what about N...

Scapegoating of the very worst kind, you complete and utter plank.

Bit of a blow Forest winning. Anyone noticed, Palace are sinking like a stone.

Great result from another excellent first half performance. Scratchy second half and back to the terrible defending we've repeatedly suffered from this season for their goal, but apart from that, the cushion we had from the first half was enough to see us through.  Fernandes was brilliant. He just g...

Don't think it's fair to blame AWB for their goal. If anything, one of the CBs should have been aware enough to pick him up. But credit to that bastard Romero, who got into a great position and attacked the ball superbly. AWB's performance overall was one of the positives for me.  But the biggest po...

Well it's certainly an attacking lineup but there's only two recognised midfielders in there and one of them is slow as fuck. Going to be interesting...

Sorry if it offends you Sir Alf, you miserable old bugger, but I reckon we're going to sneak this one. However, sadly I agree with Vexed that it would be very West Ham to give us hope by winning this one, only to follow it up by going on a big losing streak. Ho hum.

God, this is turgid. The only thing it's good for us the passing stats of our CBs.

Loads of possession but what's the good of that when we're completely toothless up front and porous at the back? Absolutely shocking today and and we really look finished. I reckon we have a 75-80% chance of going down but as long as Forest and Burnley keep losing there's always a chance...

 
0-0 it is then

I've been a bit concerned recently that quite a few on here seem to be looking to young Earthy as some kind of saviour figure, which could put too much pressure on him. But fuck it, desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm sick and tired of having to watch the massively overrated Paqueta giv...

Hope we're not really in for Strand Larsson. He's a poor man's Andy Carroll. Puts himself about but he's hardly a prolific goalscorer. Traore is fast but a headless chicken with very little end product. I remember being impressed by Charlie Cresswell when he was at Leeds but is he the leader that we...

Under Potter this would have been a 5-0 but I agree with some that we'll make it a bit harder for them... some of the time, keep them down to 3 and maybe get one ourselves.

3-1

It's certainly been a rollercoaster ride with Paqueta and it has become a complicated issue - far from being en easy, black and white decision as to whether to play him or drop him, keep him or sell him.  I completely agree with Gank about his unseen hard work - he certainly isn't lazy or a shirker....

Always remember a cracking cup game against them at UP, must have been about 1974 or 75 - they were a top side - Parkes, Bowles, Francis, Thomas. Pat Holland played an absolute blinder and we beat them 2-1. Behind the goal, North Bank. Unforgettable atmosphere.

Whatever happened to Hogan Ephraim? I remember a lot of people getting very excited about him as a youth player and someone came on here and swore that he would end up playing for England. Never made the breakthrough here and went to QPR and disappeared...

Fuck that lineup. Nuno going defensive - what could possibly go wrong?

Three CBs - Kilman back in.
No Potts, no Magassa, Guido in. Wtf?
No striker.
The only good news is that Summerville is back.

Looks like Moyes without Irvine is like Clough without Taylor. They're doing ok but won't finish top 6.

Used to see Billy walking around in Bromley when I lived there back in the early 80s. Never plucked up the courage to speak to him - he had as much of an aura about him on the street as he did on the pitch. All the best Bill - get well soon.

Is Paqueta unavailable?

Top, top bloke - love him. Produced some great moments but not sure if I would want him back - too inconsistent. We can do better.

Thanks guys, but I'm not aware of these "various tickets groups". Can someone please tell me who and where they are? Cheers.
