He would lead my shortlist of replacements, if my shortlist of replacements only included Joe Kinnear and Shola as player/manager.

Thanks a lot Jose. Twat.

Sackometer officially going from 'unlikely' to 'possible'.

Ok Jose, six points off Sunderland and Liverpool please.

Liverpool winning the title is going to be even more annoying when four or five of their squad are deservedly in the team in Manaus and then inevitably look like completely different players.

Acting like they've won it.

I remember satisfaction with 1-1 against these at home wasn't a popular opinion. Something about lack of ambition. Anyone take a 1-1 result here? We're fucking shit. Manager isn't good enough and neither are his players.

Can't let some tippy tappy Frenchman in the team can you? He might get out of position by doing something stupid like making an attacking run or beating a defender. And that would disrupt the finely oiled machine. Hopefully Carver waits the required 75 minutes this time before bringing him on.

Tension building for a scintillating final five minutes of Shola standing offside and Tiote shooting 15 feet over the bar.

Vintage Shola.

They just cannot play at all in the final third. No clue

This is some Wonga curse or something.

Ben Arfa before the hour mark? Carver will be in trouble.

Good first half summary.

They just showed Premier League highlights on US television...Chelsea, Arsenal....then a clip of the headbutt (nothing else from the match). He's such an embarrassment.

We'll lose Remy & De Jong, and start the season with Ameobi up front but with Gomis ALMOST over the line, just personal terms to agree to, for real this time.

It's one thing to be on a bad run of form, but quite another to get skullfucked by every team you come up against. Pardew out.

James Beattie and Dean Ashton

On the bright side, you can't lose your shape and attacking intent defending a 1 goal lead when you don't have one. Maybe the shit finishing in the first half will force them to play two halves for a change.

Plays well, gets injured, Gosling, Pardew blames bad luck.

I'm annoyed but not as annoyed as I will be if we fail to get a result on Saturday and Pardew starts telling a reporter that it's not his fault because we lost Cabaye at the wrong time and replacements aren't "over the line."

He's responsible for fielding a fit, motivated team. Failed in that regard.

Big let down from the midfield today. Worst in a while. Stupid decisions, no quality at all.

Damn it Benny.
