Can see a really bad night for us - we have Milner as a wide forward again

Arsenal play Southampton again? They just got dicked by them.

I think it's a reversal of the Boxing Day fixtures? That's when we played Leicester anyway.

Jesus fucking Christ, Ayew. Slow handclap for the most stupid, pointless way to get yourself sent off. Fucking moron. Started well and the cretin commits suicide for us 15 mins in to the match.

I mean, who doesn't want to randomly elbow a guy in the face?

Moss has sent a man off I all three matches he's at St Upton Park this season, Jenkinson vs Bournesmouth, Matic vs Chelsea, and now Ayew.

Battled well since then. West Ham not really pressured much yet. Doubt we'll hold on as we'll tire, but decent effort at least.

Yeah was brainless that.

As predicted it looks like this is the night we can really say goodbye to top 4 - good performance from us but no one to out it in the net. glad we signed Caulker on loan though this window.

A new manager really hasn't made any difference for Liverpool

Leicester are going to win the league folks.

We could have any manager in the world but Mignolet in goal and Milner up front is going to fail.

Awful.

They are a shoo-in for a CL place at least

Football is really fucked. Vardy and Huth can win you the title but not Suarez.

Arsenal fucking up again?

Suarez would have won you the title if Gerrard hadn't fallen on his arse

Actually Arsenal were fucking lucky not to have lost from Southampton again, they were clearly the better team, shame it ended in 0-0.

5 defeats in a row for Palace, and the 2 before that were 0-0 draws. Pards making another late run at relegation?

Looks like it at the moment. They are toothless in attack, doubt Adebayor can change it. Maybe Bolasie will help when he comes back.

They had a good thing going on with f'n Glenn Murray, but decided that they want someone Connor Wickham instead.

Pardew decision to make Wayne Hennessey Palace's #1 goalkeeper is also backfiring on him.

Wow, Lennon has scored again.

What is wrong with him?

We're going to get relegated after spending £80m. We're so poor on the ball, and Townsend looks like Obertan mark II.

We need a gif of what Paul Dummett just did. Retire immediately!

This was really a poor 45 minutes of football.

Not sure what was actually worse - out pathetic attempts of 1-touch football or Newcastle crossing the ball having midget CF like Perez.

McClaren is just a horrible manager. He's one of those that has a reputation as a "good coach", whatever that means, but he can't organise a defence and has no plan going forward, his tactics are shit, and on top of that he can't motivate the players. Easily down there with Souness and Pardew.

Send them all off!

Ugh, despite 3:0 it was a difficult 90 minutes to watch. Very poor match. Barkley will be heavily praised probably in press post match, but for me Lennon was much, much better. Oviedo was very solid too.

Maybe Newcastle will get enough points to stay in Premier League thanks to their home form, but it's difficult to see them getting anything on the road.
