Ok, this was a bit of a weird detour for the thread to take in all honesty...

Oh dear Steven...

Yeah but how depressing is that? SBR was the last time we had a good team. This kid has likely only seen the misery of the Ashley years...

Man Utd are professional enough but I reckon Van Gaal may give some of the kids a run out.

Carver must really like him or something. On that note, why didn't Cisse start today...?

Amazing..

Garth Crooks has just come out and said he thinks it'll be us who go down, which is making me feel more optimistic already.

Carver has just informed the press that he has identified next week's game against West Ham as a 'big game'.

I'm not so convinced that Man Utd are going to steamroller Hull... They won't have anything to play for at that point, and while Hull are bad, our result today will have rallied them. They'll think this is in their hands as much as it is in ours, as we're pretty much nailed on to lose next week as well.

...There are just no words to describe my hatred for Pardew.

I hope Palace are destroyed, personally - but if they were a Pardew free zone I'd be wanting literally anyone besides Liverpool to win that game.

To be fair to him like, if he hadn't have been posting his optimism this place would have been an echo chamber of negativity for the past two weeks. And also, we now have something to distract us from the utter shite that is our football team. I'm more amused at the comments than I am disturbed and enraged by the result.

QPR lost to Burnley mind, without that we'd be down. EDIT - I mean Hull.

Unless we get relegated, in which case his entire posting history for the last 3 months would be his dildo to the face moment.

So we now have to beat West Ham. Have to.

Well, this has been a complete and utter disgrace.

This'll be where Cisse gets himself sent off pointlessly so that we're without him for the final game. Not that Carver would start him anyway...

Looks that way, although I would not be at all surprised if they fashion some kind of result against Man Utd next week while we're getting relegated by Fat Sam.

Our shots have been consistently weak as piss. Why are we even bothering if we're going to hit them that tamely?

Depends on what you consider a save. We've passed it to him a few times, nice and slowly.

That'd certainly allow us to improve defensively.

I prefer to think of it as beating ourselves.
