The stuff of (ex) Champions.  Get in.

Really harsh on Friedel and Villa like.

DROGBAR!

Smith to score our consolation in a 3-1 defeat, Pardew to play him alongside Carroll for the rest of the season.

I think there's a beautiful irony in the Alan Smith one having '1000 Goals' on it

They're absolutely shite like.  Should've lost easily the other night and being taken to the cleaners here. 

Get in Nasri lad.

Bad misses at both ends then.

Mad minute for Van Persie, really should've scored too.

Carlisle pull back from 2 down to level against Huddersfield in L1, good effort.

Thankfully I left Van der Vaart as captain instead of reverting to Tevez.  Annoyed with Jagielka though!

Fucking Jagielka, two own goals in a fortnight, not good for my Fantasy League team

Sunderland did the same with Mignolet and Gordon, seems to have worked alright for them.

Dreading whatever we put out upfront though. 

Fuck.

Tamas red card is horrendous, he could have seriously injured Mame Diouf who also looks a tidy player would like us to try for him.

Kalinic's was worse like.

That save from Krul looks better every time.

This is a superb late Christmas present...hopefully

Just seen it on Sky, not a chance it will get overturned it's an unprovoked headbutt to the side of Wilshire's head.

 

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez: "Charles N'Zogbia's actions were unforgiveable but we should look at the positives today, not negatives."

 

Suggests he definitely won't be appealing anyway.

 

Appeal would only see it extended for wasting (ha!) the FA's time wouldn't it?

Almost certainly.

@CaulkinTheTimes George Caulkin

Oy! #NUFC fans - Hatem Ben Arfa will sign for the club on a permanent basis for approx £5m next week. Good news, no? In the paper tomorrow.

 

:omg:

Now George says it, I'm inclined to believe it.....

Shit the bed

Really nasty that from N'zogbia, I assume it will be put up to 3 games as Coloccini and Williamson got.

It doesn't have to be put up, that offence automatically gets 3 games.

If my high school Spanish serves me correctly, it just means "I don't like"

"Don't think they can dispute the decision any further than (the foul being outside the box)"

Except for the fact it was blatant cheating from N'Zogbia.

Fuck a duck.  This season is ludicrous.

Absolute nightmare week for us so far...
