Shite, should have buried that first and third chance. Nolan would have.

Should have mentioned Perchy, second game at LB looks the business tbh, great decision. Should have dropped Simpson to the bench and started Santon though. Simpson needs that kind of a wake up call, he has had no opposition for that RB slot. Raylor doesnt count.

Some real brain dead use of possession from Guthrie, Williamson, Simpson and Ben Arfa, who is at his frustrating but less than best today. What exactly has happened to Williamson.. he was slow but he used to have a footballing brain, did the mackems abduct him and brainwash him in his sleep or something. He is a fucking HUGE liability. Cabaye reminds me of Scott Parker for us, goes about his job but doesnt appear to do much. Guthrie and Ben Arfa have been hit and miss. Please for the love of goodness, think about where you are passing the ball in the second half guys, should be 3-0 now at least. Dissapointed Cisse hasn't done better but cracking finish our goal. Guti hasn't been amazing but his passing has been on several occassions.

Thank fuck for that, wasn't expecting good news. Hope he can recover swiftly, horrible, horrible thing to happen to anyone let alone at his age. Unfotunately likely to cut short a very promising career. Sad day.

Quite impressed with TFC to be honest, Galaxy were absolute turbo shit. Toronto were smart in possession, moved the ball around well and pressed really well. Totally deserved the win. Had me shitting myself with their insistence on playing a high line, should have been caught out but the gamble paid off.

What I would like to see: What we will probably see: Krul Krul Santon Perch Colo Raylor Simpson Willo Colo Raylor Cabaye Tiote Gutierrez Ben-Arfa Cabaye Tiote Gutierrez Ben-Arfa Cisse Ba Ba Cisse

Thanks for everything Mike and good luck in all your future endeavors.

Don't think Pardew got it terribly wrong here today, protected Cisse a little which will serve as motivation. Obertan didn't really come off which was a disappointment. I think he will be off in the summer. Perch played very well imo. Good sub there. Shola did ok too. Guthrie is unlucky not to be starting, would have done far better than Cabaye today imo. Rather see us change to 4-3-3 that watch this long ball shit again. Guthrie/Cabaye Tiote Gutierrez Ben-Arfa Ba Cisse

Nice, worked hard all game although he was invisible in the opposition half like most of our players in the second half. Can still do with stopping all the showboating and passing the ball rather than doing one trick too many and losing possession. That is something I hope we can iron out of his game, thought we already would have tried though. Wish Marveaux was back to play on the left. I love Guti's work rate but he offers nothing these days as an attacking winger. Think he should play as part of a midfield three in a 4-3-3.

reminds me of the depression i had when we sold him. same with elliott, watson, howey.. Yeah, I was gutted when we sold him and Watson, Elliot and Howey not so much.

This, certainly not getting on Simpsons back for this game. I can't stand the player but Williamson, Cabaye, Obertan were way worse. We are sorely lacking pace on the wings.

Dont understand why the commentators havent questioned it. there has been nothing, yet the Sunderland game with the sending off and way more incident gets 3 minutes? crazy. And fuck off how can the ref blow the whistle with ball about to land in the Arsenal box?? Thought you had to let the offensive play conclude?

I just cannot understand how the fuck there was 5 minutes extra.

PARDEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Cabaye, Williamson and Obertan (second half more so) have been woeful so far.

Masterclass from perch

FFS PARDEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwww

Oh and Ba was getting the key to the city in Arsenals penalty box for the first half hour. They were playing so high and not picking him up. One point Guti should have played him clean through alot earlier which could well have resulted in our second goal.

Plus marks for: Pardew's Tactics and team selection, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Krul annoying RVP Negative marks for: Williamson (we all knew he had no pace but he normally at least had a defensive brain, neither have been evident this year, have to replace in the summer), Cabaye (getting stuck in but some woeful possession and passing. Inability to pass the ball and keep possession, communication and marking at the back. Side note: Other than McMannaman being a prick about the Manure win, the commentary has been decent. The are giving Obertan a hard time, I don't think he is doing too bad tbh, got the assist. Just looks a little out of place at times going forward he is harrassing and getting back better than Ba in that position though. Can take these if we sharpen the fuck up at the back, talk to each other, stop giving needless possession turn overs from brainless passes.

Our fucking defense and communication..

What is there to suggest that Tiote is off? Check the mammoth Lambias article talking specifically about the high possibility of him being sold, because clubs have noticed him and we won't stand in his way if a big enough offer comes in. Granted there is enough negativity around this place and the remnants of what used to be a red panic button somewhere. However, whether Tiote stays is pretty much in his court, I would like to think he will stick around, depends on who is in for him really. If 'Hip' is reading the facts and quotes put in front of you and making a logical deduction let me jump on that band wagon.

Best bit for sure.

This is still far from confirmed right? How come no-one is friends with him on Facebook or looking for him at the airport yet? Disgusting effort from all involved tbh.

Well it doesnt matter you know the first sign of fan pressure and the bottler will be off in a shot.

Shame Cardiff were unlucky otherwise Dogleash would have been put down already.
