I like the banter between these three

Ah Final Score with Garth Crooks, how I've (not) missed you.

I'd go with this too but like you've said, there's nee chance of that happening As it stands though, think this is Pardew's most likely long term plan.....(if everyone is fit): Krul Simpson Saylor Coloccini Santon Jonas Tiote Cabaye Marveaux Ben Arfa Ba

I'd go with this although a Simpson/Raylor combination down the right is a bit scary..... Well, at least they'll be some sort of end product from Raylor I guess and Simpson can concentrate on defending.

Where did you hear this? .com I agree with you, what a massive shame. (FWIW, I'm still willing to give Obertan a chance to prove himself at the club but simply put, he shouldn't be starting games anymore. A few sub appearances here and there is what's best for now).

Full time, Man U :lol:

Where did you hear this?

3-2 to Blackburn!

Yep People must remember that he's only 23 which is still young in 'keeper years so in time, I'm sure he'll improve his distribution/kicking.

Agreed, it's all very well that he's getting some first team experience on loan but it would be a mistake to throw him into the deep end straightaway. Tavernier struggled in pre-season imo so he's still some way from the first team really.

Meh. 2-2.

Just seen the score, Blackburn's winning? And at Old Trafford? This is rather amusing

@Scottwilsonecho Scott Wilson Pardew defended Cabaye's tackle -"he's not a malicious player" and hinted he still did not feel Ben Arfa was ready to start games. #NUFC

Really? Wasn't loud but you could definitely hear it.

Santon will start imo.

Aye, ludicrous. Just makes the fans look like c***s. Inexplicable why some people have to mention stuff about his family

Like some people have said, the real issue is that he's not being given a fair chance. When players like Obertan keep starting week in, week out and does essentially fuck all then changes need to be brought about. If Ben Arfa had started, it would have been us being more adventurous. It's been mentioned before, we gave Liverpool too much respect last night.

Pardew's comments get more bizarre by the day....

Even when you claim that he did nothing - except his goal - at Goodison ?

Was actually thinking about this before, it's a fair enough point imo. Obertan did fuck all last night so I think Sammy probably thought he (or even someone else) would do a better job than Obertan.

Looks like it's back on.....

Just seen said tweets. Hmmm.

Would love to see this too actually.

Pardew did manage it once last season, albeit against a crap West Ham side.
