Classy.

Just seen Pavlyuchenko's goal. What a hit.

Nice.

It means that whereas the others leave the training ground pitch, Ben arfa stays for doing more exercices. Extremely encouraging, that. Certainly sounds like he's determined to make a big impact on the league this year, from the soundbites. Seems like his injury might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise long-term if it's ramped up his desire.

Basically Cabaye says that Ben Arfa stays behind and does extra training when everyone else has left.

Great Q&A that (bar that mong who didn't have a question).

Ah, missed that bit.

Pardew confirms that Ben Arfa's position is the number 10.

Ah, a question about Ranger.

Sounds like Obertan's starting against Wigan.

Criticising Leon Best

Wants to send out one of the keepers on loan

Ridgewell.

Williamson out for another 4-5 weeks.

Good question there about CB cover....

Talking about Simpson now. EDIT: Pardew wants him to stay.

The fact the lower club is potentially worse off from this new rule is not on. I see how it might be a good idea for the player (better facilities, greater chance of development) but I'd prefer them to develop at their local clubs - local pride and all that.
