We definitely have a future star on our hands. He is improving by the week (especially his defensive positioning) and I look forward to continue seeing him develop. Attacking-wise, I'd say he has clearly demonstrated that he has more attacking ability than Enrique. Would love to see Davide score a goal after cutting inside from LB.

The Ivanovic-Ba incident made me realise that any sympathy I had for Ivanovic for missing out on/being suspended for the CL final was unwarranted. f*** him.

Another thing I like about Pardew is his celebrations. So much passion

Couldn't believe my eyes when he tried to take the Chelsea player on. Did well but was ultimately unlucky in the end. The back 4 were brilliant tonight, everyone were proper rocks.

Cunt-tastic.

What a fantastic result and what a performance to go with it. We were definitely the better team, played some good stuff and certainly kept the ball decent enough. Sure, Chelsea had a few good chances but really thought we were defensively solid tonight (certainly got the Wigan game out of our system). Our midfield were great too, I felt we were quite dominant in the centre of the park. Demba put in a great shift tonight and was unlucky not to get a couple of goals and Papiss, wow, wow, wow! One fantastic goal and one fucking fantastic goal, such brilliance. Again, massive credit to Pardew, his staff and the players. A solid, battling and ultimately excellent performance tonight. The Friendship Inn in Manchester was absolutely buzzing (quite a lot of NUFC fans in there) when full time (or rather Cissé's second goal) came. Wish I could have stayed a bit longer but alas got work in the morning.

We should just have some fun basically. Oh and Alan, such a lovely man.

Tap in tbh. Shins actually With regards to the thread, some truly wonderful goals this year. We have been spoilt really.

Mark Halsey was also the referee who missed the elbow on Shearer (despite the incident being right in front of him, much like tonight!) all those years ago. So, lightning can strike twice eh?

Very much looking forward to this. Might troll the City fans in one of the pubs (if, after 24 hours, I don't post anything, avenge me).

Oh yes, it's definitely still on now.

Great to hear he's okay. Those were very worrying scenes. Look forward to seeing back on Sunday

What a f***ing strike that was for his second goal. Certainly one of the best I've ever seen - the swerve, the technique, oh my! So f***ing good :fwap: (His first goal wasn't bad either )

Just seen the lineup. So, Simpson is actually out... All I'll say is I'm looking forward to Perch destroying Chelsea!

I hope this isn't the case like! (See Betting Thread).

Hoping to see him destroy Cole tonight. Will be quite a sight to behold! Allez Hatem

115/1 Contingency Plan. Safe. I like it. Haha, I actually did get some weird looks in the bookies. But I believe!

Going to attempt to watch this game in a pub in Manchester tonight. Will see how that goes...

Put a bet on us to win 4-3 tonight with Demba scoring first. £1 on odds of 470/1 My contingency plan is 2-2 with Ba scoring first. £1 on odds of 115/1.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised that he said fuck all. He won't mind though, Joey does like the attention. Aye, think the BBC called him up to do the show because he's "controversial."

Oh, that really would be one of the best things to happen ever (if not in recent times). Unlikely it'll happen this season but if Dalglish is still manager next season, then who knows? A man can dream.

So, is he saying anything remotely interesting? (I think I know the answer...)

It's all mind games, nice little mind games...

Progress.

It seems that the main argument against Roy (from what I've seen on Facebook anyway) is that he failed at Liverpool. Shite argument if you ask me.
