Really hope so too. We need him to return to his goalscoring form. It was mentioned many pages back, it seems that Best thrives on being the "main man". Now that he is it once again, think the goals will start coming.

Probably get stoned to death having virgin on his shirt.

Oh this thread

Thank you Mr Branson

Arguably his best performance for us tonight. Another goal-line clearance against Man U Now he just needs to play like this week in, week out. I guess having someone to help him out defensively contributed to him having a good game tonight. He is indeed this: Happy Birthday Danny

yes if they want to play the midfield 3 like i think they want. anyone know if this kid is left pegged ? Interesting. Yeah if we want to play 4-3-3, then guess he'd be a welcome addition though I would like to see Guthrie/Vuckic in a midfield 3 first. vuckic can't (so far, i know it's early) do the work in the middle, even the defensive positioning and guthrie, for all he's played well, can't play leftish and i'm still not so sure he can do it often enough to be in the first XI. i thought the idea behind going for barnetta was along these lines, why we weren't so desperate to get another striker and the reasoning behind marveaux and ben arfa. Still think Guthrie could do a job as part of a midfield three. His left foot, whilst he is reluctant to use it, is still decent like.

Is that a chant or has he just done that himself? Done that himself I think. That chant needs to sung when Ba comes back from the ACoN.

51 points, one of my best weeks in recent times

Solid defender really. Looks like his understanding with Colo is still there which can only benefit us in the long run. Our defence now has the foundations to become as solid as it did in the early part of this season imo.

I imagine it won't be sold out? no chance, top bit is shut for starters. I need to head down on Saturday!

Shola was simply Shola tonight. Good header to set up Ba's goal.

Ha, more than likely actually!

i'd like to know how far he ran tonight even though he came off early, looke totally f***ed. I'm sure there'll be some stats about it later on.

"A very high offer", sorry can't believe that Do we need another CM though?

Got to get that started at St. James' when he comes back from the ACoN.

Got his tactics bang on tonight. I thought it was a good mix of direct football and passing along the deck tonight which ultimately allowed us to come out on top. Well in Pards

I love Demba Ba. We're really going to miss him when he goes to the ACoN. He is the complete striker for me and definitely the best striker we've had since Shearer. Fantastic technique, works his arse off, great strength, basically everything you want in a striker. Bargain of the century.

Such a class act. Certainly one of the best CBs in the league imo. The best defender we've had since Woodgate. Hope he signs that new contract!!

Great performance from the lad tonight. Made some positive forward runs tonight and worked well with Jonas I thought. An actual fullback who loves his forward runs Can only get better like.

Was back to his usual beast-like self tonight. Tremendous. Absolutely bossed the midfield alongside Yohan.
