I think we'll win but Norwich will get at least a point.

Knowing us we'll win and Norwich will lose to keep dragging it out. Actually, much as I want it confirmed I want us to win.

Has any away team ever had an easier 4-0 win?

On the question of defensive cohesion, I would like to raise a few salient points.

1. If you play Richards as a central defender, you can forget about defensive cohesion.

2. If you want to play a high defensive line and you play Lescott as a central defender, you can forget about defensive cohesion.

3. If you play Hutton at full back and instruct him to bomb forward, you can forget about defensive cohesion.

4.  If you play Cissokho at full back and instruct him to bomb forward, you can forget about defensive cohesion.

5. What is the point of Westwood as a defensive midfielder?

Westwood is the teachers pet. He understands he is limited but he has the perfect kiss arse "I'll do whatever you want sir" attitude that keeps getting him selected.

In fairness he did actually do a forward pass at one point today. Granted it went straight to a Chelsea player but you can't have everything.

Just got back.
Have to say that it was sad to hear the crowd giving the players what they deserve. Sad, but I joined in because this feckless bunch of duds deserved all the abuse dished out.
I thought Gestede and Ayew looked actually half-decent and Hutton delivered his usual 100%. The rest were gash. Cissokho really summed the game up: headless, lacking any sort of positional sense and ultimately far below the standard required of a PL player.
When the new manager arrives - perhaps as early as when we are mathematically down - he needs to give the youngsters and fringe players some game time before exiting most of this shower over the summer.
As for the remaining home games, I hope that the crowd continue the dogs-abuse because people need to understand the depth of disappointment felt around here.

I never cease to be amazed at what a complete and utter bunch of tossers we have in our squad. I then think there must have been an even bigger bunch of tossers who were gormless enough to sign this pile of complete "ineptoes."  If Agbonlahor had played then we could at least have sung "your too fat to wear the shirt."

The players looks as if they have never trained together before;  mind you a reasonable question would perhaps be "is there any training and is their a game plan?" If so there is not much evidence on the pitch to suggest any competent training or planning.

An absolute shambles!

Agree with Mr E, sad but totally deserved and should be continued until the end of the season. Also agreed with, Gestede and Ayew looked actually half-decent and Hutton delivered his usual 100%.

I have no problem with Hutton either. Actually I am looking forward to seeing him play for us next season, I think he will do well.

At least he looks bothered and makes an effort.
