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.

Perch and Gos - the 2 MOTM from the Norwich match.

Sorry its really hard to give someone a break when they are coming in to help shore up the CM and given the chance to start and establish something of their injury plagued career at the club. Youth? OK a mistake or 2 - but he put in 2 horrible challenges with 1 yellow and the other at a minimum a yellow. You need to have the f**kn brainpower to realize you are given a chance in a tricky fixture during a time where we are short on numbers - dont make stupid tackles and shoot yourself in the foot even further. No sympothy for sending offs - esp ones like that.

No f*ng CBs in reserve that we were comfortable starting with and Gosling puts in an absolute mare, sickening. Had we had 1 of Taylor or Colo we'd prob have won this f'ng game.

Selfish and stupid. Bottom of pecking order. Let himself, the club, AP and us down.

Not even sure AP rates Gos either. I'd like to see: Ober - Cab - Abeid - Jonas or HBA - Cab - Abeid - Jonas But the latter will never happen.

I love that there are fans on this side of the world that say Lebron James suiting up for Liverpool would be more exciting to watch and he'd be more useful than Carroll. Sad how far Andy's stock has dropped

Ron, you're extra punchy these months man - skip on the annual Florida trip?

Who Davies? Simon Davies?

You're just jelly man. Oy the next time you all run into Steve Stone at Starbucks and Colo wherever, mind asking about Santon?

I was just about to bite, saw Pat Herd and thought Pat Howard for some reason. Brian Pinas?

This. agreed

Loan recall provision on Tav?

Interesting formation - I'd assume this is with us buying a new CB to play with Colo and compete with Williamson and Perch? Santon hopefully will fill in at RB with the idea that he'd do the same as Jonas does on the Left side? ---------Krul--------- Sant-CB-Colo-Jonas --Guth--Tiote--Cab-- --------HBA---------- -----Ba-----Best----

2 of these: 1. Onuhoa 2. Pieters 3. Ridgewell 4. Mbwia Then either De Jong or Maiga for me.
