Bakary Sako - An overweight slob who is barely Championship standard.

tx for your support Tez, hope you can still enjoy the victory

Disagreeing with the direction of the club doesn't mean I don't support them. I still screamed the place down when that second goal went in believe me.

Going to bed with a smile on my face but I still stand by everything I said in the first post, we were outplayed and could have been 3 or 4 nil down.

Hopefully this is the bit of luck we've needed to kick start our season.

Many on here seem to think that we are too good to go down, that our squad is better than others, that we'll get out of the relegation scrap in the end.

Without rose-tinted glasses on, can you tell me who in our squad is good enough for a top 10 side?

Let's look at our starting 11 today:

Speroni - Decent at shot shopping, pretty crap at kicking, very small, no command of his penalty area. Should be retired.

Fosu-Mensah - On loan, not convincing.
Tomkins - West Ham reject.
Dann - Shadow of his former self.
Schlupp - Leicester reject.

Milivojevic - Decent enough.
Cabaye - One game in five player. Past it.
Loftus-Cheek - On loan. Never made an impact in any of his loan spells. Anonymous in most games.
Townsend - Look at his stats. Creates very little and doesn't score.
Zaha - Legend. Our only outlet. But so frustrating. Gives the ball away, dives, gives away needless free-kicks. Needs to grow up. He is still a good player.
Benteke - Biggest waste of money in the club's history. But he gets absolutely no service.

The other problem is our f***ing stupid formation and insistence on playing inverted winners. If you play with inverted wingers you need your full backs to overlap. Ours never, ever, ever overlap, so we have no width, the middle of the pitch is congested and we always lose the ball. We never cross the ball, despite buying Benteke who can literally only score with his head.

We aren't good enough and we're going down.
