So let me get this straight, crazy unpredictable powerful winds and we play a team looking like it will be based on crossing the ball and direct long ball? Interesting. Here's to hoping...

Wonder if theyll be re-printed on the players' kits after this match...

Gosh I hope Pards plays him from the start....

Hey if its a good deal Ill be happy with this. Ill be happy with nearly anything considering we would have ended up with SD on the shirts...heres to hoping we get confirmation soon.

Wingers and backs are our biggest problems

Never a starter again, AWFUL. If someone new defends him or someone continues to defend him then they don't know or understand The game.

I'm looking for a spot in Boston, any help would be lovely

In Boston, MA for vacation, anyone know any toon pubs or great places to catch this one? I'd rather watch with other black & white supporters vs Liverpool ones

Golfmag comes on here and drops his yearly bombs!

2 Ball playing CB's would be spunktastic

When Best is on, hes wonderful - and has a brilliant strike on him. But when he's not hit a goal in a while- his confidence dies down terribly.

if we don't manage to get 3 pts from the 2nd bottom of the league we have major f'n problems

agreed - best striker we've had since Shearer. Total package in terms of pace, finising, technique, aerial ability and passing.

1 driven cross all match. Not bothered with him rejecting a contract offer from us, he can go play for someone else for all I care.

Demba Ba is saving his career so far.

this a record for the board?

Sadly, we;ve set our selves up to know that Pardew will go with the most boring squad selection he could think of. I'd love to see him put in Abeid with Tiote to have more steel in the CM, and then place HBA in from the start with Best and Ba but that will not happen.

Obertan's step overs drive me mad

Abs insane how assured I feel with him bossing the centre of our midfield. There were times when he just outmuscled about everyone and kept possesion and moved the ball on.

Nearly spit my drink out, hilarious.

Wha? Shot power I'd imagine.

A RB who could put in a decent driven cross - his floating crosses are abs piss poor.

French kits are superb - the USA one is awful. Brazil too.

building up suspense?

He's very smooth in and out of possesion - will love to see him next to some calm center backs and with our settled midfield 4.
