The bright lights of the Toon

I think the fact you have to take such a higher ground and look so hard into the unnoticed is its own answer to the question of is he really shit or not.

Indeed, was looking for that on the replay. No contact with the face at all... But of course that's the first thing Valencia went for.

Colback doesn't even dream of attempting that kind of pass. Let alone actually trying and pulling it off.

The first he lashed at and straight at keeper. Anything across goal would have had a much better chance of going in. Second one he doesn't properly side foot. Seems to come off his heel... Not necessarily height the problem, it wasn't aimed anywhere near the corner.

I'd agree with Moyes there. No handball for the pen, but got to blow the whistle for the Villa goal.

Great stuff from the goal line tech that. No need for either ref or linesman to be focusing on the goal line.

Shola-esque.

Chamakh... What a cunt. Been at that sort of dive for years. He's that sort of player who would rather hoy himself at any opportunity rather than try anything football related like a pass or a shot.

... Absolutely nothing.

Wow. When's the last time Chamakh scored... saw he got booked today. He's had a brilliant time in England just picking his wage.

Massive result. Good football played at times. Phew.

Nah, there's so much hay all over the place that we can't even see the donkey anymore.

Takes a lot of effort to hide on a football pitch.

Thought Mitro should have done better with that power shot. Just went all lashing out and little control. At least it was on target, but keeper just stayed big and didn't seem too troubled. Shot across goal and could have put the game to bed.

8 shots on target in the first half... It's a revolution!

Aye.. both teams.

Been told he's involved today, or just standard good will message? Man, I really this guy manages to be decent

Wow, didn't even know this was on the cards. Will be interesting to see how he does straight away. Southampton have done well. Not having the best of seasons but acting before things get too desperate.

Insane. Choose football, choose life, choose Ben Arfa.

What I was thinking yesterdat when I saw the Pavel programme cover. They are class.

We've taken the exact same approach with this guy than with Cabella 12 prior. We might as well have kept the first one. Nice little futile exercise that has cost the club 12 million.

Well, that's one theory. http://i.imgur.com/oZCSMjj.png

Any time Rooney needs a few goals. He knows he can count on us.

Much like Neymar's goal earlier, as Messi let it go he was clearly interfering I thought.
