Long balls to fucking Hatem Ben Arfa.

Talk about return of the Entertainers.

One way or another, if Shola comes on - he will entertain.

Doubt the ball has been in their penalty area for more than thirty or so seconds, if I'm generous.

'The other guy' is back in with a shout, eh.

Is there a manager who more closely resembles Alex McCleish in the Premier League than Alan Pardew (not in terms of appearance, obviously)?

I hope the fans who travelled all that way have fun with the non-football side of their trip.

Shola is prone to injury on this surface, apparently.

Living on borrowed time as a professional footballer perhaps Can't cut in in the Premier League. Can't cut it beyond the qualifying rounds of the Europa/the group stage if we get a lucky draw. Can't cut it in domestic cups.

Alright, now he's just fucking up everyone else's shit!

*Obertan receives ball in useful area* *Obertan uses fall over* *It's super ineffective!*

I really despise Pardew.

No. Irrespective of the personnel, a complete lack of identity as a team, or guile/strategy going forwards (which we haven't). 0 shots on goal, 0 shots off goal. Pardew wants the 0-0.

Our best player so far, with little competition - other than maybe MYM/Simpson.

but also

Inexperience from Haidara committing himself so fully for no reason.

Anita vs Traore for that dropping ball :lol:

Ah, the familiar sight of us watching us defend a counter attack from our own corner. Oh Pardew, you little scamp.

Aha! A corner. Now they're in for it.

You can really tell HBA has been out for a while. Fuck me.

Good effort Simpson.

Willian just got MYM'd.

I want to change FM and give Obertan a 0 for final ball.

Enough with the 2012/13 NUFC commentary, man. This is CL night.
