!! IM IN TEARS, LOVE LOVE LOVE literally in tears, GET IIIIIIIIIIIIIN

fuckingfuck hate football!!!

Look very fluid and well balanced for once. PLEASE keep doing the exact same thing, don't sit back, press high up the pitch. Please don't invite Chelseas into the game. Please!! Very good first half.

Looks a player! Like how he covers the ball with his back against goal. Looks very good and allround if you ask me. Gives good balace. Good work defensively as well.

Xabaye

Come on!!!

NO

Please Colo and Taylor, don't give Ba space in the box, not a fucking inch. Taylor gave Benteke too much space at Villa.

Put Mata, Ramires and Lampard in your pocket, get the ball then run and score. Cheers!

Im 'content' about Taylor starting, and maybe even Perch for now. But Jonas?

Even Pardew himself has said that Jonas hasn't been in form...

Not talking about NOW before some dumbass starts whinging, but Mbiwa wouldn't have come to us unless he was more or less guaranteed to start, that's for sure. Probably will get his chance soon (even though soon isn't always soon with Pards)

WHat a fuckin coward he is

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

Im excited about the line up but still meeh as it'll probably be the same. Surely Marv has to start? Unbelievable if he doesn't Fuckin hell! I really want to see Mbiwa and Anita as well

Would like a draw as well.

Well if Taylor know's Ba's game than surely Ba know's his weaknesses as well.....

I've changed my tune, im actually pretty certain that Mbiwa will start

Pardew 'should' be smart enough to use a pacier and more composed player though, as he has mentioned we'll have a go. s h o u l d . . .

I have a feeling this is gonna be one gung ho game (gung ho???)

Aye, especially as i think we'll have a go at them from the first minute. Our fullbacks bombing forward, us losing possession in their half and us having pretty much no player behind the ball with pace to recover.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's out for a month at least.
