Wish there was a pub open around here, I'm about to commit mass murder

[blue slug]

[eyesalwaysblue]

[Confucius]

Is Rooney still out?

I am sure he is home by now.

[Ramjam]

I am sure he is home by now.

Nice 1, but who’s home in he in?

[Bluedylan]

Going to be a tough game IMO

Not hopeful , expect the manager to rotate a few players with so many games coming up

You're doing a top job of lowering collective expectations, so that every game seems rock hard, and so that people think Allardyce is doing an unbelievable job by getting wins over poor teams.

Hasn't gone unnoticed.

[Silas]

Yeah we should be winning today, Allardyce is doing well but we are a better team than West Brom. A loss would be poor here.

[Ramjam]

Its going to be tough, we are tighter at the back but still lacking in the final third. I’ve predicted a score draw and hoping to be proved wrong with a win. This is a huge test of Sams game strategy going away to a team that we should be beating, has he got the tactics to get the cigar. We’ll see.

We are playing a team desperate for a win at their ground
Add to that the 3 player and manager interviews on their website all discuss doing everything to stop their losing record

Add to that our team isn’t very good going forward
Our midfield is pretty average at best, badly unbalanced with a No.10 playing left wing,
No Gueye,
Davies stinking the place out
Arron Lennon still his ineffective self

To top all that off our main striker is a kid who while trying his best is not good enough


That is why it will be a tough game

Facts and evidence seem to be a real inconvenience to you

Its Alan Pardews West Brom though.

[Macca77]

Rooney's back with his missus. Posted on Twitter with his family. Colleen's got his back.

I wished him and Colleen a happy Xmas on twitter, the twat didn't reply. Then again, neither did Zac Effron, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe or Sly Stallone

Twats

Almost everything you've just said is opinion. Your grasp of 'facts' is about the level of Rafa Benitez's.

In my opinion, we've got better players than them in almost every position. We have a better manager than them (not hard). Of course they're desperate for a win. So what. They've not won in the Prem since August (that one's a fact). 17 games without a win, which is the worst ever winless run in their history. The new manager has 2 points in five games. They're 19th.

You can sell Chelsea as a hard game to win but we should be beating these every day of the week, so let's not pretend Sam will be performing a managerial miracle if we do overcome them.

If you think Aaron Lennon is ineffective then football really isn't the sport for you.

I can see, in a world filled with stats, someone could say he is ineffective
Stats don't tell the whole story tho
