Aye, round three. Fight. He's attempting the hat-trick (in terms of traversing opinion over 1000 pages). Bad-Good, Good-Bad, Bad-Good?

Been too long since a prolonged period of HBA.

You're right like, he's been toiling in the midcard for far too long and with Ronaldo's recent face turn there was a pretty big gap to fill at the top of the card.

Beat me to it. Glad he's been sussed for what he is these days though, his bollocks went unnoticed for far too long.

I love how much the cameraman's arse drops when challenged by the might of the Raider

I'm pretty convinced it's going to be judged as 'rubbish'. He's basically saying there that because West Ham and Southampton have had good seasons (by staying up), if we catch them, by default we must have done well too. Astonishing really. The most bizarre logic. Was typing this earlier on but got sidetracked. Norwich, Southampton, Swansea and West Ham appear to be the benchmark

Howay.... You wanna deal wi' me?

Who wants some?

You want some?

Is that for real?

Certainly would have its merits, but there's also the downside to think about in terms of losing an extra man out of the midfield, etc.

Ben Arfa and Marveaux supply craft and guile don't they? We're regularly without one or both, sadly. I was talking predominantly in the most advanced area as well to be fair, with all the talk of a Carroll or Aubameyang signing. Carroll/Cisse could work but it looks a horrendously basic formula on paper.

Edgar Davids.

Wow.

All the best Bruno. I fucking hate Fenerbahce after we played them a few years ago, hope you dick them all over.

Do you not reckon we're crying out for a bit of craft and guile up front? Not sure I can stomach too many more signings of the mostly "athletic" variety.

I also put Marveaux into Twitter to see a few Subway pics Couldn't see him on any of the training pictures or any of the spliced-in video of the session from the press conference. Think he's out, sadly.

So there isn't a cracked rib according to Pardew.

Short memories?

So: Ben Arfa, Cisse and Tiote fit enough to start, Coloccini possible for the bench. Nowt on Marveaux yet except that he's just been in Subway in town.

Second time I've seen it done, but I'm assuming people are just confusing Debuchy and Santon?

Aye. It'd also leave him with too much of a dilemma as to who should be brought off midway through the second half.

That smiley is unreal.

Oh my

Just looking back to page 1 as we're not far off thread #3 for Pardizzle. This guy knew.
