Are you serious? The guy steps on Debuchy's foot and falls over. Watch it again.

Also, that was never, ever a penalty. He steps on Debuchy's foot and falls over man. They don't score that, they don't suddenly have the whole crowd behind them and I don't think they get the confidence. Also, I wouldn't say any of Krul's saves were out of this world, you would expect him to make all of them - the Weimann chance was a great save, others were good. Fuck Aston Villa.

Right, I've seen it now - I think a lot of it was Villa being energised by not playing ridiculously unsuitable tactics; but certainly we stood back more than we should have and then hit the panic button with the Shola substitution and it went horribly downhill from there, panic, no cohesion, and just lumping it forward again and again. However, we did tire incredibly quickly, which is alarming considering that we had 10 days between games...

Missed it. Break down what Pardew did?

He's rubbish man. Ah, right then. That's me told.

Seriously, Perch really isn't that bad. Perhaps with a debutant in central midfield it may pay off having a solid defensive midfielder if he struggles?

I like James Perch.

The announcement of it being Neesy's birthday means the Ginger Pirlo may be available on loan for the weekend.

My view on it remains the same; I have too much time for him to denounce his actions until I know what's really happened. I'm so glad he's staying but if it's something really horrendous then I wouldn't have begrudged him leaving. Just putting myself in similar shoes, I have to do 6 months abroad for work at some point, if my girlfriend/a family member was really ill I'd probably want to come home. BUT if it's just leveraging and he wants out, then I will lose respect for him. I don't think there's any other realistic and sensible way to look at the situation.

They desperately need a result. In that situation, we always oblige.

They're black, they're French We'll have a stronger bench New signings, new signings!

He wouldn't get an iota of compensation; there's more than enough evidence to justify dismissal on grounds of misconduct.

Don't boo him, mind.

My French friend says he's a solid striker, we should be pleased if he nets 10 goals a year.

San Lorenzo.

in any normal reality where a board care about the club, he would be sacked.

Wow... he's lost it.

Take a bow, Alan Pardew.

Wonderfully bad substitution.

Really wish Pardew wasn't the manager.

That's the worst corner I have ever seen in professional football.

The only answer can be no.

Where's Tiote?

This is starting to look like the season we went down; absolutely nothing has gone our way
