Dodgy hip? Cobblers! He didn't travel to Everton, with no suggestion of an injury until the day of the game, he was an unused sub at home to Sunderland, and he was left on the bench all night again tonight. Why? What the hell is going on?
Stanislas was awful against Sunderland and lasted just 45 minutes tonight. The kid hasn't got the quality necessary at this level sadly - left or right flank. Zola's alternative? Franco up front and Ilan moved out of position again! What a joke!
Tonight cried out for a 5 man midfield with Diamanti breaking forward to get alongside and beyond Cole when the opportunity presented itself. Instead, despite being completely over run in midfield for 45 minutes, Zola sent on another striker at half time! I know he is a tactical numpty but that was beyond ridiculous!
So what has happened? Well Ilan was quoted saying that the "Italians" were out of control. I reckon there has been a bust up and Diamanti is receiving the Davenport treatment. And I fear Zola will relegate us rather than back down!

Diamanti does seem like hed be a nutter in the dressing room. That said his left peg is the only quality we have in the entire squad at the moment so COYI.
Davenport is a case that needs revisiting thats for sure. We could do with somebody...anybody to give Upson a breather.
Get someone new in charge of the team before the vital game with Wigan, please. Anyone will do. Get Brooking to step in for a few games. We have to stop the pathetic and hopeless lack of leadership from GZ before it is too late. The players seemed resigned to their fate. We can't have this team under the leadership of Zola come out to play against Wigan. It is not too late to do something about it!
Sav I have an awful feeling that it is too late, a lot of us were saying he should have gone after the Wolves game even then I thought it was too late but would have been a better option than keeping him here.I think I heard this morning that out of the last 9games we'd got 7 points out of a possible 27 and scored 6 goals and 24 against surely these have got to be sacking figures. What are the D's up to? They must know he is useless.
I have a nasty feeling that although they do not aim the Championship the 2 Ds will be not complain too much if it happens. It will give them the opportunity make savings and of course they sell a lot of players. If we don't go down, not only they don't get to cash in on a number of players but there would be demands to buy more to strengthen a team which obviously is not good enough to survive in the Premier League. HF, analysed this "conspiracy theory" well in one of his recent articles. I know he is accused to be negative and the messenger of bad things to come but you have to hand to him; no-one tells it like it is, and without fear, like him.
You lose alot of money going down to the colaship. Player sales will not make up for the lost TV cash and gate receipts.
Who in the team is worth keeping? a good clear out and the sort of signings Pardew made could be the answer.
We need Pardew back for that!
I personally think up front we are safe in the championship and wouldn't need to invest. Rest of the team would be a major problem mind you.
