who else is missing? Chelsea are still in.

Man Utd are at number 5 and 15, on this list.
Chelski are number 15

so for me if we avoid 5,7,14 or 15 we have a decent draw.

Avoid other prem sides, and hope they all get drawn against each other. Ideally Man U v Man City and Chelsea v spurs, Southampton v Leicester. Then us against anybody at
Home. That would ideal

Well done to Josh Labadie for his performance against Spurs today for Newport

Did you see the crunching tackle he made on Kane?

Frank Nouble not quite so hot.

How in the hell was Silva's goal not allowed for Man City?

Sane had nothing to do with the play, the shot etc......even if he was offside when the ball went forward he had no part to play in the goal at all

Refereeing is getting worse

Totally agree Tom, but I'm sure the match commentator (or it might have been added to MOTD commentary) said that Sane might have impeded the Cardiff goalies view (personally don't think he did).
He wasn't offside when the ball was played so even that spurious argument is wrong! Terrible decision by Mason and the assistant ref.

Any idea what time the draw is? I'm sat watching the One Show here waiting for it, and life seems thoroughly depressing as a result

Home draw happy with that..

City United Chelsea and Spurs kept apart.

Annoyingly all the big teams have easy draws.

Not a terrible draw for us, could have been better though

home draw against saints isn't a bad one. typical how all the other big guns avoid each other.

Swansea spanking Notts the way I wished we would had handled Exeter, they're in so much better form than us right now.

We were fine against Exeter considering it was a way from home and Kanu should have scored a double hat-trick.

Your second point... Yes they are, excellent appointment compared to ours.

Blues ahead and Rochdale ahead in the other games.

Swansea have the second worst scoring record in the league with just 19 goals but theyâ€™ve scored eight tonight. The opposition has been poor but the goals will give Swanseaâ€™s confidence a real boost, which is no help to us. In fairness theyâ€™ve looked really good despite resting some players.

It's a fair point. I think as well you only have to look at how bottle necked the bottom half of the table is and how far away Citeh are in points to see that this League is bent out of shape - sorry if this moves a bit of FA topic. I think the Premier League no longer makes any fair sense.

That's true. But they spanked them after drawing to them. Our display against Exeter was comfortably efficient; compared to some previous years struggles as well against lower division sides.

However will admit; on the past few weeks Swansea have really ramped up into some very good form alright.

Newport County was fascinating vs Spurs last time out and they are very interesting again right now, good game 15 minutes in. Exiles are fearless.

vrabbit · « **Reply #97 on:** February 07, 2018, 08:22:46 PM »

well that didn't last long :-/

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #98 on:** February 08, 2018, 08:30:44 AM »

I haven't seen any footage from the game but a 2-0 defeat away at Spurs must surely credit Newport in some way? I would imagine their fans were expecting a lot worse.

gavinrussell · « **Reply #99 on:** February 18, 2018, 06:16:35 PM »

Wonder if Pardew and the rest of our lot were sitting down watching Rochdale draw with Spurs. Commitment, passion and a will never to give up...cant remember the last time I saw that from us...
