He's always injured.

Injured in the head.

Was on target wasn't it? It wasn't clear cut by any means. Not sure it was criticism worthy is my point.

Was certainly impressed at how easily he lifted it into the box and on target with his weaker foot.

Made you wish his crossing was always that good.

Wouldn't really classify that Jonas chance as close to being a goal.

I don't understand that personally, why would a player go back down and stay down after the card's been given?  Especially for that long?

No, agreed that's when it started getting embarrassing for Wilkins as he kept going on about it.

Meant about the way Cabaye was down then up to moan and went back down again. Once it lasted and lasted, clearly something wasn't right.

It's obvious why he said that to be fair (about Cabs). Would have thought the same had it been another team.

Once it became clear something really was wrong with Cabaye there was no reason not to say you were wrong. But he didn't. That was the most cuntish part.

Even when we had quite a few strikers, Shola was one that needed replacing.

He painted himself into a corner with the Cabaye thing. Could have easily just backtracked and admit he was wrong but he never did and it just got worse and worse for him after that.

Aye, on the radio Pardew said they didn't think it was anything too serious and that hopefully he'll be back running around in training in a few days.

Maybe Dr Wilkins was right then!

Pardew really praising Hatems effort and defending.

 

Setting us all up for more disappointment next week.

They were saying ankle ligament at HT.

Out of all his horrible performances, this is the worst one.

Actually it wasn't... but then that's not saying much

The last 20 minutes was a complete breakdown though!

Knee?! Shit 

Pardew will bench him for Fulham, i'm certain of it.

If he doesn't start next game then there is something very wrong.

Nah, now surely, surely this is it. Definitely the end of him being on the bench. Surely.

Book him.

I wonder if it was Ray Wilkins that destroyed Joe Cole's natural flair and creativity.

My word Joey, you've got to play the odds, son!

Ben Arfa battling for the loose ball again.

Edit: Shut the fuck up Wilkins.

Pardew is just a jammy bastard, isn't he..? His tactics and subs are baffling, yet he can't stop winning..

A bit harsh, it certainly isn't luck but there does seem to be an air of defiance about him. Like he wants to win in spite of not playing HBA, or leaving Shola on the pitch...

Our better player at holding the ball and creating something up top is taken off... My word.

Best kind of gave it to no one there. Could have slipped it back to Ben Arfa.

Jonas' crosses are rarely as good as that left foot attempt was!

Ben Arfa could be really good for us. Just needs to use his brain a bit. Can do the lot with the ball, though.

A run in the team would go a long way to help that!

Arfa actually fought to get the ball back too in said incident.

My word Hughes was a wonderful striker. And my word didn't Blackburn do well yesterday. Well done lads.

Surely this is just from where the banner has been sitting on the icey pitch?

Yeap. Thank goodness for that.
