The Football.....

Man City are nourishing themselves off Norwich. And then drinking 7 Up.

Don't understand Sunderland tbh ? Saw them in that pre season tournament where the pitches were worse than Sunday league and they tore Spurts to pieces. I don't think they will go down but if my predictions are anything to go by then wtf do I know .

Can't see how Hughton can survive this. Fully expected to lose to Man City today, but to do so 7-0 with barely a shot on goal is a total shambles. I've been pro Hughton up to now, but that was just embarrasing. Nice bloke but seemingly out of his depth. If he does survive this, then nothing short of 3 points next week against the Hammers will be enough.

At least I've found some prophetic gallows humour to cheer me up.......

I was watching Arsenal v Liverpool, the Sky site said at half time:- There has not been much to choose between the sides after an absorbing 45 minutes, and we are set up for an even more thrilling second half.

Eh? As far as I could see only one team had the bleedin football! The second half was even more one sided, bubbles burst, 5 points clear...................

How many points will Sunderland get this season... anyone willing to bet on less than the total they got last time they went down [lfewer than 15]?

... the same overpaid, lazy players who blamed Di Canio who went running to the owner are sulky, spoilt brats- they will eventually wreck the shreds of remaining team spirit and their club. The quicker they are weeded out and thrown away the better.

Game utterly spoiled by the (justified) sending offs - up to that a great battle from both teams

The European places are starting to look out of reach for Palace this year.

It must be hard trying to break in to the top 17.

Cattermole and Dossena both received straight red cars in first-half stoppage time.
Cattermole's challenge on Elmohamady split the Egypt international's boot, while Meyler was fortunate not to suffer a serious injury after an ugly attempt at a tackle by former Liverpool defender Dossena

Ahh right sorry i missed that in the reports. That Cattermole seems a dirty little bleeder though.

The Premier League is a shoot place to be when you are under prepared and bought in piles of poo who don't want to play.

When we were promoted was looking forward to the ride fully expecting to go straight back down with a bulging wallet, but the intense coverage makes it really hard to enjoy when they can't pass a ball. Then you start to hope you can stay up, which at the moment is a LOL moment. Depressing stuff.

Really do not know what Holloway was up to some really bizarre loaned and purchased players and then enter the Premier League with an average Championship defence and oodles of less than average wide midfield mercenaries, a young and possibly good investment striker paired with the metrosexual mullet that is Chamakh, who shows some classy touches but would never be your first choice in relegation scrap, a luxury player in a confident skilful team.

Lol love that

As I was playing catch up on yesterday's football I couldn't help wondering what happened to that team which played over-ornate football and often tried to run the ball into the net but forgot to do the direct running at the goal and shooting kind of stuff. There was no sign at all of them yesterday.

He's a thug.....

Agreed. He's a hooligan masquerading a a footballer. It will please a lot of my Geordie chums when Sunderland get relegated and I can't say that I'll be sad to see them go myself, based on the Di Canio hypocrisy and the signing of professionals unable to do their job.

I was at the Newcastle game yesterday and I'd say that Luiz was the only player who turned up for Chelsea. I was a bit surprised by the dominant possession stats on MOTD, but Newcastle were well worth the victory. Favourite chant of the day was directed at Luiz as well: according to the Gallowagte, he's just a sh!t Collocini!

Chelsea just didn't turn up to the game.... simple.
Ok maybe spells of the first half, but apart from that... they were crap.
