Finally worked for Zoggy... not like there were any warning signs

Guthrie Taking the piss. Been very good all half.

Sky commentators saying it was just unlucky and not a bad challenge. Don't think I agree. Yes, it went really quickly but he threw himself with both legs into Raylor as opposed to into the ball or in front of it to block it. Edit: Ok, not both feet.

Quality by Obertan. Beat his player then put the ball in when he could and should. More of that please.

What the fuck is Warnock doing? Lost the plot.

He looked devastated, the way he had his head in his hands... he'd been given some bad news no doubt

Just like after the Chelsea game? Not going to see Ben Arfa play again this month?

Fucking Obertan

Raylor proper took one for the team there

Of course!

Not good when Dunne is the one slicing the team open and making that pass look easy.

Guthrie doing well so far again today.

Ryan Taylor over no one again. Come on man!

Jonas just lying on the ball

Fucking hell, thought that second was going to slip under Krul.

"He does also have Shola Ameobi on the bench"

Unlucky. Good take by Best, good defending by Villa.

Chested down and pass by Perch!

And with Ba next to him. Hopefully they rekindle their partnership.

And with crappy attackers ahead of him. Certainly. Annoying decision. He should be given longer and with Demba and/or Cissé.

Perch has done surprisingly well this season when he's been called upon. Suppose this is Pardew rewarding him in light of Benny's poor form. Still think it's not a good decision though.

No its not. Do I seriously need to put IMO after every post on a forum???! ... So he's just disagreeing. Of course it's your opinion. You posted it.

That's the main positive that outweighs everything else. Still, think we could put more elements in our favour. Hopefully he won't hesitate to change it if needed and doesn't just wait until the 80th minute.

Would like to see him stay stay as back up. If he's asking for something above his station, then no big loss.
