English Premier League 2012/2013

Yep, really don't want to be involved in last day drama again.

Strange that no one is mentioning Southampton, for relegation, only a point above Newcastle and Norwich.

Cisse's 'goal' was tricky to tell but it looked over in real time and on replays, andthat should have been enough. If the referees had called them right it means we could've had 5 extra points (today and the Wigan fiasco).

Everything now though is pointing to us being in the bottom 3 ahead of QPR, and Pardew seems to show no ambition. No matter which tier we're in next season the question needs to ask "is he good enough?"

Yeah I'm more than happy with that at the moment. I think he's great.

Christ, we made that far more difficult that it needed to be (as usual). Three points is all that mattered though.

if Sunderland lucky to beat Stoke on Monday give to Newcastle, Wigan and Villa a trouble.. you must remember Wigan have 3 games to go...other 2 have only 2 games! i wonder if Wigan win all and beat Villa in last game to survivor!!

Norwich have to get something against West Brom next week. They have City away on the final day so Wigan will probably only need one win from three to get ahead of them.

As said I think our human shield is Norwich - I don't see them beating WBA or Man City. We should be able to pick up something to keep us up to keep us above them.

I don't feel comfortable saying this as I like Hughton and I'd rather Norwich stayed up than Wigan, but that is the reality of the situation.

The worst thing Newcastle United could do now is gamble on other results going their way.

They've simply got to pick up a win in their last two games.

Well, obviously. They're not exactly going to be sitting around, nice and relaxed, relying on other teams to do it for them.

Well I'm sure plenty of their fans and maybe even some of their players will think Norwich will lose to WBA and City. Something is seriously wrong at Newcastle when you consider the difference between this season and last.

No, of course - as much as I feel worried at the thought of Sunderland and Wigan lapping us by our next kick-off, we have to win at QPR next Sunday. No win is the real doom maker.

I feel like I've had the question "what is going wrong?" being posed every week this season. Everything is going wrong - players aren't performing, the manager is clueless, there's stupidly bad luck with injuries and referee decisions. A huge shake-up is required next year, and that's just if we stay up. If we go down, we're fucked.

Who would you actually get rid off? Aside from Pardew.

You should bring Leon Best back.

They should sack Pardew and bring in a cheaper, French alternative.

René Girard will be available.

Raymond Domenech.

Theoretically you could kick Pardew up the arse and tell him to stop giving the team such a cowardly mindset. We lack attacking nerve - 3 goals in 6 league games is not good enough - and something needs to be done to correct this for the last two games. It's no good saying "we need these results to stay up" if we get nowhere near the fucking goal for the bulk of the game.

A lot of things need changing. We can't afford to stay back almost all game. We can't afford to have the usual slow start to the second half. For QPR at least, we have to go for it. Our defence looked a lot more secure vs West Ham but our attack still lacks something.

It's doubtful as to the merits of Pardew to build for the future - who is getting a kicking from almost the entire fanbase - but surely he can prove capable of keeping us up. Surely he knows relegation would finish him as a credible gaffer.

This is a rubbish game.

Fellaini really needs to stop swinging his arms about the boff headed wanker

I'm not exactly sure what the referee blew for to disallow the goal.

Climbing.

Definitely soft though.

EDIT: Or it might have been for Anichebe standing still.

aye Reina has gotten away with that, just seemed to slip over more than anything

Our teams have been so boring recently.

I was hoping we'd see some ridiculous line ups like De Gea up front or something and a few more of the kids.

Well that was boring.

Crap game.

When Sky gave Jamie Carragher the job as a pundit next season did they forget he's not actually understandable?

They're welcome to him.

Didn't see anything wrong with Distin's header, should have been allowed. Hope this game is better though.

Sky Sports special on Phil Jones' various faces.

This one is clearly best.
