Doesn't seem to have 90 minutes in him, should have been subbed off today I reckon. Played decently in the first half but hit the wall after an hour, improved on last week though for sure.

You wouldn't have saved that first shot which Krul saved. It looked easy, but it wasn't. Yes I would.

I'd have kept a clean sheet today, tbf. Had very little to do, which is a great indication of how well we played as a team.

Made the right changes after last week, and clearly found a way to get the lads focused again so they could come out and play like that.

Useless display, thank fuck he didn't cost us.

Nearly shat myself at the end there. Brilliant performance and a well deserved three points. Things looking good.

Right, hold the fuck on lads. Be criminal not to get three points after what we've done today.

Dirty cunt Fellaini. Ref takes no notice, of course.

Jesus christ, what a stonewall penalty that was. Fucking ref is a cunt.

Ben Arfa is class.

All over us here, I reckon a change might be in order.

To the Haddaway tune. WHAT IS LOVE?! It's Hatem Ben Arfa Ben Arfa Howay!! Ideally the entire crowd then starts moshing and singing the tune.

Better than Villa? I'd say so tbh.

What is love? It's Hatem Ben Arfa Ben Arfa Howay!! Fucking cracking performance first half, same again in the second please lads.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ what a goal!!!!!! Halftime glorywank for me I reckon.

Playing great so far. Need to score though.

Good start so far. Thought Routledge should have done much better with the header.

Can see the arguement for a home game where we're expecting to have the better of possession, but I think we'll be under the cosh a fair bit and Jonas could have relieved that a bit. Hopefully I'll be wrong, excited to see the new lads in action!

Nice to see that Hughton has the stones to make the changes, would rather that Jonas had started ahead of Nolan but can't really complain about the line-up too much. Howay this particular group of lads!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA How many fans would tollerate his minging football tho. I love how that's the hole you see in his plan, rather than the notion the useless cunt would do anything other than humiliate himself at one of those clubs.

Ryan Taylor does give you something going forward, arguably the best crosser of a ball in our squad. He's an absolute liability at the back though, but then again Perch has been as well so far. So I'd be tempted to start Ryan Taylor as he at least contributes something positive to the team. Steven Taylor is the best RB at the club though and the only one I think is good enough to play there in the Premiership without being a weak link.

Aye it's a big test for him. Much as I wanted to see Ben Arfa start last weekend, going with the same team that played well two games in a row was probably the logical call. But with so many desperate individual performances and a bad overall team performance against Blackpool, I'd like to see change. Tiote in for Smith seems like a no-brainer, and Ben Arfa in for one of Nolan or Jonas should happen too. I'd be inclined to take out Nolan, because I reckon Jonas' workrate will be needed against Everton and Nolan will likely be a passenger again if he plays. You can make a case for either of them getting the boot though. Very hard to see that same 11 getting anything other than a comfortbale beating tomorrow.

The Yankee stadium one was true, they even went and dug the thing up. http://gothamist.com/2008/04/14/red_sox_jersey.php Sold for $175,000 at auction.

Good to hear Nicolas Anelka's opinion about how a young player should best go about settling at a club.
