Mick

He's not up to your standard but he's not shit.

Coloccini is our best central defender at the minute, we'd be mad to move him out of that position.

I read that and heard him saying it for some reason.

He only wanted to come here.

I assumed that he meant Harper, Krul, Soderberg.

Soderberg or whatever he's called.

Hughton gave him a love bite.

Thomas would have also struggled.

That'll not work.

Harper was injured and replaced in the first half, Ben Arfa had a slight knock and was replaced.

He does deserve credit for today but I think another slaughtering is just around the corner.

Don't.

If he played like that for another team most people would be saying the same about him, he's class and we've needed this type of player for years. If we are guilty of overreactions then long may it continue as far as I'm concerned.

His performance today was a massive bonus, I expected him to defend but he looked like a complete midfielder as he can defend , read the game well and make a pass.

Sticking Jonas up front and dropping Carroll to play deeper was an excellent decision and took a lot of pressure off us in the end.

He would have ripped Blackpool a new one if we'd started him, I can't wait for next week when he's got the crowd to lift him.

I'd let Ben Arfa take the free kicks as Barton is doing nothing with them.

Ben Arfa is better in the middle as he has the freedom to go either side, if we try to play him wide then we'll not get the best out of him.

That was a stunning goal from nowhere, the bloke is class and I hope we can get the best out of him.

What Shearer wanted isn’t relevant, his treatment is.

I'd guess that the mystery man was our MD, nobody other than him or Ashley would be in a position to answer and Shearer reported to him when he was manager.

Don't send her any money.

I remember him keep saying at the time that he was waiting to hear something, why did nobody from the club tell us that they had contacted him it it wasn't true?
