And Neville just undid all his hard work rolling out the tired old cliches about our support. NH we'd rather not lose 3-0 or 7-3, we'd rather win. No, we'd rather not have any "madness", we'd very much like a committed side, with a clear game plan capable of winning games and a manager who doesn't seek negativity, reduced expectations and who has no clue how to tweak a team mid game to improve our chances of winning.

Sissoko was really poor in defence today. Plenty of times he strutted back lethargically. Ben Arfa would have recieved an absolute panning from Carver et al for that kind of a showing. Such a blatant inequality in their mindset. I am wallowing in the panning GNev and Carra are hurling at us. Glorious for our failings to get so much air time. Pardew was not be impressed.

Top insights from Carragher. Williamson has cost us two goals with slack positioning and decision making. Pardew can't even depend on his British lads.

Time for Obertan.

I wish there was another 5 games we could get turned over in. There has to be a point at which Mike decides enough is enough and pulls the trigger.

Trying to be serious about this, what I don't get is our insistence on retaining the ball when we get it. Loads of little passes instead of steaming up the pitch directly towards Remy and Sissoko who could power through.

Made the bench ahead of Ben Arfa and Marveaux "on merit" so I see no reason why not.

Sissoko cost us. Poor positioning in defence and so was forced to foul Giroud. Then he let KOS escape to score from the resultant free kick.

Wenger pointing Pardew in the direction of his seat on the bench. Brilliant.

Did he say that he wants us to fraternize Arsenal tonight? Or was I merely struggling to understand his pronunciation of the word fretten/threaten?

Considering we should totally remove Ben Arfa and Marveaux from our thoughts for this game, and probably for ever, that's 1 player shy of the best 11 he could field to get us a result.

#NUFC v @SwansOfficial (3-4-1-2): Krul; Coloccini, Williamson, Dummett; Anita, Gosling, Tiote, Gouffran; de Jong; Cisse, Sh Ameobi #NEWSWA

Six hours since we last scored. Twelve goals conceded in that time.

What utter garbage play from Shola. Simple pass on and he bundles it out of play.

Shola still on I think? Hard to tell.

Hughton has been sacked.

Bring on the excuses. 11 goals without reply. No more attacking midfielders.

Hatem has played well. Bench for him next week.

Where is the option for none of the above?

Ah sheeet, they're blatantly winning this from here.

This is delicious. The bews, the pink seats, yeeees, yeeees.

Sunderland.

Webb bottling another significant decision.
