1 game, and it's their midweek cup match. Wahey

Pardew said that? Fucking hell.

A random thought I had whilst watching MOTD was...how mint would it be if Martinez was our manager and he played his mental 3-4-1-2 thing with our current squad? Assuming we won games before March like.

If he plays 4-4-2 Pardew is asking for a slating if we lose. Played 4-4-2 at SJP and lose 3-2 after being overrun all night. Switches to 4-3-3 at their place, easy win. It shouldn't even be up for debate for fuck sake, but it will be..

Stoke. Wilson got stretchered off just after half time

Getting really fed up of Cazorla not scoring

Maicon & Zabaleta are injured and even Milner is banned, no alternative I suppose.

A fairly uninspiring match, but I've been to worse. The 3 defensive midfielders was just appauling, I hope he never tries that again. I also hope he realises that once he went to 4-4-2 we found it difficult to win the ball, and that playing the formation against a passing side like West Brom will end in tears. Sammy was great for an hour then tired badly, Obertan actually beat his man, grafted and scored (not all at once), Ferguson was great, everybody else turned up. It was cold. Let's move on.

don't think we can actually We'll find a way

What irritated me a great deal was the ref pulling stuff back after he'd played advantage. How long can it go on for? There was a case where I think Cabaye had a hack at Johnson and failed, ref played advantage, Johnson tried to beat the next guy, crossed it, we cleared it, ref pulls it back for the Cabaye challenge. So how long does the advantage last?

I just meant they will lose a lot.

Would play: Krul - It's just good to have him back. If Elliot is fit I wouldn't be adverse to him playing but not Harper. There's just no point. S Taylor - Needs a game after injury Ferguson - Canny left back, deserves the chance to continue Williamson - Probably needs a rest but wouldn't play Perch if he's going to be the Tiote stand in. No need to risk Colo either. Anita - Needs a game, suppsoedly not keen on full back but fuck it, just do it. Bigi - Ideal in this sort of game Tiote - Going to be missing 3 Prem games so may as well utilise him here. Obertan - Bald. Sammy - Flying in training, apparently. Cisse - Confidence must be suffering after no minutes today Shola - Mr Europe

I was just looking at West Ham's fixtures as I was considering putting Noble in my fantasy team, they're in a for a serious ass forkin in the next few months

My worry for this guy is that we prefer Perch to him in the defensive midfield role. And Bigirimana too. Add to that he supposedly doesn't want to play fullback and you start to wonder why we didn't just spend the £8m on Debuchy

"Coco" and "the worst full back in the world" (Santon, allegedly) were excellent, which is pleasing. Unfortunately Tiote lived up to his reputation in their eyes.

It was Lockwood aye. Remember being furious "The Premiership" on ITV didn't show somebody's disallowed goal in their shitty highlights.

Bent Gay and Bender lolz

Match abandoned In Dakar, the Senegal v Ivory Coast match has been officially abandoned. The players have now left the pitch and police are on the field.

FA Cup 4th Qualifying round (last round before 1st round proper) South Park Gateshead away to Alfreton if anyone cares

Can anyone explain why we have only played 6 head to head games? Shouldn't it be 7 by now, it says tables updated?

Jason Roberts you bitter fuckdust

Not been many good goals this month

I think Pardew is really bitter about the way ESPN got Cabaye banned last season and wants some consistency.
