What a goal by Tiote, I've not celebrated a goal like that since Oba's against Spurs. I wonder what effect the Fabregas comments had on the way Dowd refereed it. We couldn't have asked for much more from him today.

Wolves equalise

Fox Sports commentator says we made a late move for Terry Henry to replace Carroll?

How many games (sorry bookings) before his next ban?

Thought it was Andy Cole at first glance but have no idea Was it maybe Chieck?

I've not read the thread but does anyone know who the big black guy was on the bench behind Pardew? Could have been Campbell but he was on the bench wasn't he? This guy was in an overcoat and scarf.

How much do we need to spend in the summer to make this a good deal? If we hadnt sold him I would have hoped for £5-10m spent in January and £15m or so in the summer. Considering we only bought Ben Arfa and therefore made £30m in January that means I would be looking for £40m plus spent in the summer but I highly doubt that will happen.

Any word on who Spurs are after?

David Craig already peddling the "Ben Arfa due back soon of course" line

Depressingly true. Who is the first choice front two out of that?

Sounds to me like we tried to sell Carroll to Spurs for £30m+ and they told us "No chance, maybe consider £25m". To which we released that we rejected a £25m bid from them.

Just looked through our results and it is surprising to see that if you take away all 11 of Carroll's goals we would only be 6 points worse off.

SSN saying Elmander

Less than 4 hours to go, I can't see anyone getting to Newcastle, agreeing terms and passing a medical in that.

It will be interesting to see how long it is till he's fit to play for them. Gut feeling is that he will play against Chelsea and the thigh injury was never what it has been made out to be.

Wickham would be a nice addition for the future. Trouble is you just know we will end up with no one, Crouch or Cole, and I am not sure which of those 3 is the worst option.

Who's that CF at Soton who played under Pardew? Lambert?

The wife's cousin is heading down for this from Edinburgh. He is looking recommendations for pre and post match drinks.

And I guess it is round about now that the scousers will be realising this means he too misses the big derby game.

How does he get away with that? His top is different and he is wearing trainers, slipping about all over the place. I love it when he runs straight into the side netting like.

I think there was always a fair chance that the Liverpool players would raise their game for a one off tomorrow, and if they left Woy in charge for that and won then it would make it harder to get rid of him.

L'pool losing again
