I like to think that, with the way he's reacted to all of this, he's going to keep the team focused on the pitch and ignoring all the bullshit sideshow that has come back as usual. I'd like to think this too. After all, it is Pardew's job to keep the team focused whatever the issue off the pitch and it looks like he's done exactly that.

Absolutely

Anything would look better than Sports Direct tbh.

Well this is going to be massive (albeit overhyped by the tabloids). Be interesting to see how it plays out. Aye.

He does

Wireside :lol:

Obertan and Best are going to have fitness tests tomorrow so could very well end up having the team which has served us well the last few months (well except for Tiote, being ruled out due to injury and all that).

Think if starts it will be in the 10 role, then that leaves a decision for the right of Raylor or Sammy. Judging from the tweet in the pre-match thread, there's a slight chance Gosling could start on the right.....

Can see Ben Arfa starting on Saturday, be it on the right wing or in the number 10 behind Ba.

Canny article that. Good read.

That nufcblog contribution

I'd assume so.

Oh definitely.

Cheeky c***. Aye.

Fair point, well made. If there was one player I could pick at the moment to face a lengthy ban it would this cock. Same.

Ah yeah.

hope it's a very bad cruciate injury whislt trying one of his trademark assaults that fails. Aye.

Another cracking cameo off the bench hopefully. Was in surprisingly scintillating form before his injury. I remember he came off the bench last season at City and looked bright as well.
