Howay

Again? I hope we batter them 4-0, we'll get man utd away in the 4th round anyway.

Painfully bad performance yet again, not sure what's going on but we've went from playing controlled on the ground football to hoofball over the summer. This could have been 5-0 easily if we didn't have Krul they've killed us today, we've let Jason Puncheon look like Mesut Ozil ffs. There's not been one game in the league where we've looked comfortable like we did last year. I understand we've had injuries and suspensions but this is ridiculous, this is Southampton's first clean sheet and we've barely made them work for it. We don't even look drilled at the back like we did last year which makes me nervous something's going on behind the scenes.

Agreed, any of the stats lads got a percentage of goals scored from corners/free kicks this year compared to last? It seems on viewing that it's been a considerable drop.

Another poor first half, Williamson is total dog shite but we've all known this for years still can't believe he wasn't replaced over summer. Nowt up front whatsoever, weak at the back. We really can't blame injuries for this one tbh we're playing Southampton and should have the quality to beat them but we're doing nothing. Feared this would be a shootout as they're decent at producing chances and by the looks of it we're heading for a 2-0 loss.

Wonder if Jose Fonte's wife will be in attendance for this, could be a distraction for Pards.

They'd still take a one legged Catts over Tiote and Cabaye.

Carrying too many players that aren't up to standard today, Anita, Sammy, Williamson and Ferguson in the main. Really being exposed for not bringing anyone in over the summer, without Tiote and Cabaye pairing in central midfield we're completely pedestrian.

The lass he's cheating on is a right milf, Tulisa on the other hand is absolutely hotching. Wonder how many bottles of wkd, white lightning and lambrini it took to win the x-factor judge over.

We're shite at the back atm.

Skyfall, thought it was canny. Bardem was a decent villain, did get a bit irritated by others over the top laughter in the cinema at anything he said mind. Does Craig have many more Bond movies on his contract?

Dreadful performance against an absolutely gash team. No idea why we've decided to change into a long ball team tbh.

Classy.

No bother, aye it's really bad down there houses coming off their foundations and everything. http://media.nj.com/ocean_impact/photo/11781268-large.jpg That's the photo I was on about before.

It's canny Bobby, the weather is usually nicer (again current events excluded ) than back home. People are mostly canny, aside from the overly patriotic lot who never shut up about the Revolutionary war. It's little things I miss like going down to the pub and that, lack of taxis where I am so going out for a few drinks is a bit of a process compared to walking down the pub. Cars cost a fortune in all, I thought they'd be cheap since you pretty much need one (outside of cities).

Hit last night, the damage round where I am is just from trees falling and power lines coming down. The shore line and New York City are really bad, some of the smaller islands were completely underwater. We still have power where I am but most the town I'm in is without power. The boardwalks of some of the coastal towns are completely gone, a lot of piers have collapsed. I saw a picture somewhere of Seaside Heights where a roller coaster has fell into the Ocean. We're lucky round me tbh, it's been a coastal storm mainly. They're saying the difference between this and Irene is that Irene was a tropical storm when it hit NJ are whereas this was a category 1 hurricane.

I'm in Northern New Jersey Bobby, moved over here about 11 month ago now.

It's areet where I am, millions without power. Can't get anywhere mind due to downed power lines and trees. Luckily I'm more in land, the shore areas are pretty terrifying some parts completely underwater. There were 50 houses burned down in Queens in all sadly think the death toll will keep rising when the services properly get into some of the worst hit areas.

Agreed tbh, we were poor and they were also poor. They controlled the ball 2nd half but they were still unimpressive. Not having a go at them mind just thought the game was very poor and neither side played well, a draw would have been a fair reflection but we got a fortunate goal we've also lost points in similar fashion so there's no sympathy from me tbh. Agree on the last point too btw, not many keepers would have pulled both those saves off especially the 2nd.

The result was all thanks to the magic of the Ameobi brothers, Shola's flick on which led to the 1st and Sammy's skillful pass allowing Cisse to guide it goalwards.

1. What have you made of your start to the season so far? Poor, we failed to capitalise on last years great form and bring in the defensive cover we needed and it's cost us this year. We've also played poorly with underperforming players in the majority of our games. At least we're not losing mind. 2. What are your opinions our our start to the season so far? Very good start, you have a very capable side which seems to be especially good on the break. Could be 'new manager syndrome' or just a purple patch but who cares? you're doing well. 3. We've recently seen Alan Pardew given a new eight year contract, what are your reactions to this? Happy enough I guess as he's locked down if we do carry on improving but as others have mentioned Ashley will have put in all sorts of clauses so he can drop him if we start underperforming. 4. Mike Ashley always seemed an unpopular figure around your parts, what are your opinions on him? Horrible (Even though he's lost weight) fat bastard. He's turned us around financially and for that he does deserve credit, lots of it, but he's also fucked around and made a lot of decisions that, at times, seem only to piss the fans off in order to generate exposure for his brands. Still we could have the Venky's... 5. What are your opinions on WBA as a football club alongside its supporters? Good club, no complaints with any of your lot I've met and you all stick with your club good and bad. Can't say the same about your neighbours Villa mind, total bunch of fucking tramps. 6. Which players in your side should we look out for, and which players in our side do you fear? Obvious one is Ben Arfa, the lad can do whatever he wants if he's in the mood and there's literally nowt the opposition can do to prevent that. Ba is very prolific, Cabaye has a fantastic range of passing plus wont be put off by being roughed up like some players can and Santon is really growing into a top player. Of your lot I'd say Long, he's quick and looks a tidy finisher, Mulumbu is a bit of a beast, McAuley seems to be creating a bit of bother for sides and Odemwingie I know he doesn't play every game but his past record against us is good. 7. What are you expecting for the remainder of the season? Hopefully an improvement in our performances and with some strengthening in January I think we'll be comfortably top half. 8. What are you expecting from WBA for the remainder of the season? Do we have a chance of Europe? Honestly no idea, you could do what dick heads like Mark Lawrenson expect and crumble or you could make the Europa like we did. I'm not going to give it the old 'it's only temporary' as it pissed me off when it was said about our form last year, you're performing at the minute and that's what matters there's no reason your lot can't make it, a 8-12th finish at worst. 9. What side is Alan Pardew most likely to put out? Krul-Simpson-Colocinni-Taylor-Santon-Jonas-Cabaye-Bigirimana (probably Perch though)-Ba-Cisse-Ben Arfa 10. And finally, score predictions. If we turn up I can see us winning 2-1, without Colocinni in the side I'd fear another rout from Williamson + Taylor being hopeless against quick counters.

Fucking hell, saw a post where one said "I'd celebrate if he died tomorrow, not going to lie." Gene's fear of one of our lot being murdered by these classy scumbags may not be too far off the mark if these feelings are true. Think stuff like this should be held up to them when they claim we're obsessed with them, they're relevant to me the 2 weeks surrounding the derbies and that's it whereas they're wishing death on our players and saying they'll celebrate if it happens.

Totally forgot about that belta.

Maybe since our home kit is predominantly white this year they think it is too similar to the tramps kits.

I see they're saying Ben Arfa was in Rose's back pocket all game, did they miss his part in the goal
