#73245 English Premier League 2012/2013
Number 1
Had the team of officials at Wigan-Newcastle disallowed the handball goal, we'd have gone home with a point but more importantly, Wigan would be 2 shorter. This would mean their mountain would be steeper, and who knows where it would've gone if McManaman had been sent off for his alleged tackle - almost certainly not 3 points. Now there's the very real possibility of us being relegated from Wigan on goal difference and all because of the fucking referee.
I had let it go to boot.

Either a 2nd Potters goal or Southampton and Spurs pummel them will help.

Still gotta win at QPR, naturally

Sunderland and Chelsea got 1 point from their 2 games vs them. Impressively. But I digress - if we can't beat QPR our status will be in supermassive trouble. Pardew has to get it across anything less than 3 points and we're stuffed.
As for Pardew, someone in the other threat mentioned Rene Girard should be chased as a successor. French press say we've been presented an offer to appoint him.

I think if we stay up we should sign him. Probably not on our radar given he's neither French or has Premier League experience, but he could do a job for us.
I still think the play-off final will be between Watford and Brighton but the momentum has moved against the Hornets given the way they ended and the way Leicester secured their spot.

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.

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.

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.
#72620 Newcastle Thread

Our only hope is that Norwich take 0 points, which I think will happen. But that's the only reason I see to be cheerful.

This last few games has seen my mood slide down the scale at an alarming rate. If we don't beat QPR next weekend it could well be curtains.
#72550 English Premier League 2012/2013

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?"

Still, well done to Hull for getting into the top flight.

Oddly, I'm at Spurs on FM12 and a few seasons before I joined, Welbeck scored 38 in 38 a few seasons before to win them the league. Which is pretty ridiculous for any striker, nevermind DW.

I've obviously not watched MUFC that much then because he barely scores or assists and often looks like an odd one out up top. So what does he offer?

16 minutes added time at Watford... that's fucking crazy. Though of course, it looked like a horrible injury for the Watford keeper.

PROMOTED: Cardiff, Hull
PLAY-OFFS: Watford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest
RELEGATED: Huddersfield, Wolves, Bristol City
It's been a crazy afternoon so far and I'll be surprised if it stays this way.

Elliott - Simpson, Coloccini, S. Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa - Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas - Ben Arfa, Cisse, Gouffran
How is one goal (two in all comps) better?
He was a useful option last season but this season he's gone backwards and not really offered as much as he's made out to be.

Downing is still not a £20m player but he has shown significant improvement this season.
Lennon is alright but Valencia and Young haven't really impressed at MUFC. Not as bad as Welbeck, but neither have been amazing.

I like the middle kit but it's annoying how willing Puma are to refuse to go beyond templates. Plus that yellow kit is terrible. I'd take this:
#71976 Your side's best XI this season

Debuchy - Coloccini - Steven Taylor - Santon
Cabaye - Sissoko - Marveaux
Ben Arfa - Cisse - Ba
Tbh, there's not really been much to shout about and some of these options I doubt.

Interesting though how little is made of the fact Ferguson regularly bans journalists.
