Not exactly a surprise. Besides, whatever pot we're in, we'll be unlucky if we end up in the group of death again.

If you're in the third pot, I think you'll be in the group of death regardless just because you should easily be the strongest team in pot 3. But obviously, I don't think anyone expects you to perform as badly as this year - even if you were drawn in the exact same group.

Ex-Chelsea player, earns stupid cash, looks like he can't be arsed half the time, refused to sit on the bench, cost them 2 goals in an excessively stupid fashion, the Reading smile... take your pick. QPR looked hideously disjointed overall anyway - probably just as well they had no plans for what would've been the most pointless players appreciation lap in history.

As for us, we're safe. I was shitting it when I heard Willo had displaced Taylor in the back 4 (apparently Tayls was ill) but we defended very well overall and we were clinical with our attacks. Hopefully we can sign off in style against the Gunners, even despite Pardew's comments.


I was suprised Pardew came out and said that, pretty silly really, especially given all the flack he's taken recently. But it seems pretty obvious he didn't mean that we won't be bothering next week - just that we're safe now and that's the big goal accomplished and the Arsenal result is more or less meaningless (which it is tbf).

It was a decent performance yesterday, and it was nice to see us not sit back and defend after getting into a good position. Hopefully we can get Cisse staying onside by next season, he must be up to 5-10 offside goals this season.

It was just around when Keegan came back I think.

I remember seeing some bloke on the news whinging that he'd bought a 10 year ticket because Keegan was in charge and then Keegan ended up leaving pretty soon after

Congratulation Frank Lampard! He's gotta be in the argument for the greatest England midfielder of all time with that goalscoring record from midfield

He did alight with Villa tbf, qualified for the Europa League, reached the Carling cup final and a FA cup semi as well as finishing 6th three times in a row which is pretty good for a club like them.

This!

I thought he was doing a good job at Villa despite the money they spent

Surely Sky could have picked better games than these two shitfests

To be fair, that's easy to say in hindsight.

Before the games were played, I'm sure a lot of people would assume the Merseyside Derby would be a good game. Plus United-Chelsea is often a good game and features two of the most supported teams in the season and Sky want big viewing figures as well.

I think you'll beat QPR. Anyone should beat QPR.

We should, but by the sounds of things they made a game of it against Arsenal last night after the first 20 seconds.

At the minute the goals seemed to have dried up for us, so it's a bit of a worry just getting on the scoreboard.

Been watching The League. On the 4th season atm. Basically set around a NFL Fantasy football league but stars people like Nick Kroll & Jason Mantzoukas.

Such a good program - probably my favourite on at the moment \o/

#71956 Your side's best XI this season

We've been so disappointing in the league this season that best XI isn't saying too much at Newcastle. But I'd probably go with ...

Krul

Debuchy - Coloccini - S. Taylor - Santon

Cabaye - Perch

Ben Arfa - Sissoko - Marveaux

Cisse

---------------------

Krul, the centre-backs, Cabaye and Cisse are the only one's I'm semi-certain on. Ba could be in there, despite leaving. I'm not sure Ben Arfa or Marveaux have been particularly great, but as with most of our squad there's been injuries and I'm not really sure who's better.

not enough to compete in UCL.

domestic wise is still ok.

That's just not true though. They were well in contention against Real Madrid until the Nani red card, without the red card it may well have ended up Utd v Dortmund in the semi-finals.

I don't think they're going to be favourites for the Champions League at the moment, but they're certainly good enough to challenge anyone.

I'm not sure about over Santon, but I'd certainly have him at LB over Gutierrez. Plus he can play plenty of other positions, he's a great player to have on the bench. We could have used him the past few weeks.

Ryan Taylor's reinjured/done more damage to his cruciate ligament. Likely to miss the majority if not all of next season

It just bugs me when people just RT these things all the time, its just lazy more often than not. Giving to charity is great but its also alot easier when its someone else's money.

Also most people just do it to be seen to be doing it when they wouldn't ordinarily give to said charity


Then surely it's a good thing, people are giving money they wouldn't normally give to charity. So what if they get a bit of publicity from it if it helps other people.

Passive charity is such a pet hate of mine


Can't see what the problem with passive charity is to be honest. Ultimately the money still gets donated which should be the bottom-line.

Amendola could feasibly be giving $100,000 to charity by the end of the season.

I don't think I've ever seen such a cowardly, rotten, spineless, useless performance from us in one of these games. Fans are arguing Pardew should be fired on the evidence of this and frankly I have no argument to oppose this

Sacking our manager based on one performance isn't the way forward
