Admittedly, I still have my worries about his long term fitness but in any case, welcome back Hatem He's going to be on the bench imo. He'll either come on at half time or the 60th minute mark if we're chasing a goal/still in the tie.

Argh! BURN IT WITH FIRE.

With every good news (the one about Ben Arfa), bad news has to come our way eh? I'm hopeful that because he's been described as being "doubtful" for tomorrow that it's nowt too serious. Knowing us though, Saylor will probably be out for the rest of the season. In the meantime, we need Perch to repeat his performance from the Liverpool game at home last season.

Fuck it, I believe!

Done and dusted.

Tonight just goes to show that anything can happen in football. I believe...

Jizzface.

La retour de Ben Arfa me fait plaisir. Like I've said before though, hope his "old problem" has completely gone away. Would hate to think we're affecting his long term fitness...

Need to get ahead this week at work. There's no way I'm missing this.

How can that cunt Suarez have so much talent? It's not fair really.

Hahahaha. See Harry like that was very amusing.

Taarabt is never going to hear the end of that moment of cowardness.

Well that's quite the goal from Remy.

And so it begins...

Gardner has that look about him that makes me think he's at the right club.

Today's win against Fulham will almost certainly give us a confidence boost for this game. We've got some momentum and it really is down to us - our fate is in our hands. Feeling better about this now than I was on Thursday night. Howay.

Yep, I wonder if he'll have a scrap with Di Canio...

I've been meaning to go since it opened but I just can't be arsed

Attack from the off and we should be looking at a win - here's hoping but you never know with Derby day.

Conflicting emotions for me here, ha.

What can you say about that...

IM not sure if he meant that first touch. Everything Cisse does is intentional

You can't knock Pardew's passion for football. Really enjoyed him jumping into the crowd Today was a more attacking minded approach than usual from him mind which was refreshing to see. Yes, we struggled to convert our chances but we kept going and going. If only we played like this every week...

You'll never win Mike.

"Parentheses". Very posh Mike.
