Boom.

Great goal from Hazard.

I like his rugged look. Our lack of bite attacking-wise is worrying mind. But that's another win from behind, the spirit has come back and our heads aren't dropping and that can only be a good sign.

Such a poor game. It was a good thing that Stoke were shitter than us really. The first half really reminded me of the Swansea game - that is, us being the better team by some distance but the lack of end product upfront being our main problem. The second half was pretty shite though so like I've said, good thing Stoke were shit and didn't do anything of note. Luck was on our side though and I'm going to enjoy this result.

A very cool and collected player - something you need at CB really.

Unfortunately he's very prone to having a rush of blood to the head, don't actually think we can coach it out him - Tiote's head is as unpredictable as they come. Decent game today though until his moment of idiocy. Still a starter for me btw.

Today was actually the first time I've seen him play! (Missed the Europa League games in which he played because of my staying late at work). Definitely got a great prospect here and he slotted in very nicely. Looks like we're going to have nice bit of competition for LB.

His poorest game yet. Having said that he got the winner Worrying signs though but we'll leave that for another day, time to enjoy the result.

He's such a crazy f***er but he's been great since coming back from injury. Keep it up

Feeling a bit déjà vu about this game. A lack of end product is again the main problem.

Cabaye looks in pain...

Positive.

I feel dizzy like.

Chiles' interviewing skills as good as ever.

I expect a chorus of boos at the final whistle .

Aye, we give him a 4 year contract which a fair few didn't expect us to give him, within a year he's wanting to leave. We convince him to stay until May, he gets injured and goes home anyway. Absolutely ludicrous isn't it. I just hope he's replaced. MYM has probably shown enough to say he can be our main defender but like f*** do we want to be relying on Saylor and Williamson AGAIN. It could actually work out well, he might be able to use his time to sort his family problems out while he's injured, we'll see. Perhaps too much wishful thinking there but fuck it, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Agree with this, but not sure he is effective enough coming off the bench to change a game Thought he gave us a bit of energy when he came on against Chelsea at St. James'.

With regards to Marveaux, I still think he's a talented player and one I would have no qualms in starting. Thing is though, think it is definitely the case that he got injured at the wrong time. He basically lost the momentum he had when he was on that brilliant run form. In his case, think he's one of those players who needs to play week in, week out if we really want to see the best of him. Looking like a bench role for him in the near future.

Same sort of game as last season please.

Think yous are better off without me actually, my reflexes haven't been up to scratch recently, out of practice!

So another professional Europa League performance then? (Missed the game).

I'm officially ruling myself out. Apologies to all and apologies that I've let yous all doon. Next time though, next time.

Lucky yous. I'm doing a very long shift tomorrow.

Spam goes well with instant noodles like. I'll leave now.
