Silent commentary on that goal

Kebe is pretty much Obertan

Hopefully after they are demoralised from their Champions League exit Hughes will have his usual mob kick everything that moves, leaving them completely fucked before their next game 3 days later...

"O'Shea, Sessegnon, Richardson, Cattermole, Turner, Kilgallon, Colback and possibly Bardsley would all get straight into the team out there for them today." Some of them don't even get into their first choice team, why would they get into one 12 points better off

Class from Tony Gubba: "Gorkss wins the air in the battle with Nolan" How did that make the edit

Hot on the heels of Take on Me at Carrow Road on Saturday, this week's "out of place PA song" comes at Benfica, where I've just seen Gary Neville being interviewed with the strains of "Love Shack" in the background.

His knee could be hanging on by a thread but he'll be playing and scoring here. As usual.

Why why why why why did I leave him on my subs bench. That's 13 points plus inevitable bonus I'll never see. Great performance, you don't see any Pards is a dope t-shirts now

Hodgson

Looks like another afternoon of Sky waxing lyrical over our opponents and then dropping in that we're playing 5 minutes before kick off. Commentators willing the ball into the net and afterall, they are a grand old club who deserve to win, and lovely Roy is the best manager ever (but was rightly sacked by Liverpool, he just didn't fit in you see with such a huge club who deserve success)

Ah the good old Sky balanced pundits

Arghh booo. They might field a footballer now. Like Spearing or Henderson? I hope so.

Had Cahill but left BAE on the bench, I'm 41 points ahead at the top but that can easily get eaten up by some captain decisions.

Carrow Road DJ cracks out Take on Me before the kick off, and why not.

Pass the fucking ball Bale. Fuck me.

Jesus Christ. That's horrific. That's not a million miles off first choice though, is it? Bardsley & Cattermole seem to be the only two obvious missing first-teamers. Evan those two are pretty shite Seb the cunt Larsson is also missing

Bit surprised he hasn't rested a few more with the replay on Tuesday in mind.

Bale is such a greedy cunt

Judging by Barton's twitter I think he's been dropped today. Would be amusing.

A draw or if pushed a Spurs win. 5th would be remarkable, 4th is very unlikely.

Penny dropping I guess but that explains the ridiculous incident with Simpson and Krul in the corner with the freekick towards the end.

Wrong side of 25 so unlikely, but I agree with the sentiment. A no frills winger would give us some nice balance and the striker's the service they deserve.

Anybody else getting a bit sick of relying on Liverpool?

Well, that was turgid. No wonder uncle Alan has us hoofing the ball about as he obviously sees Williamson with the ball at his feet every day in training and thinks..get rid. Anyway, at least we did try to play on the deck today to begin with in what started as a sort of 4-3-3, but it just seemed a bit lopsided. We then took off our pace and put Shola on the wing so I guess if that was plan B it's a miracle we've won today, although other than a 10 minute spell in the second half we were never really under the cosh too much. Krul - Some good saves, the Whitbread header stands out but thankfully it was right at him. Kicking a bit erratic, as usual. Simpson - Not awful but didn't do, well, anything really. Probably should have had a pen for the cross that the defender palmed behind. Jonas - We missed him going forward, did ok defensively. Colo - Steady Williamson - Nerves look shot, not helped by him dallying on the ball for what felt like 30 seconds which led to Norwich's only chance of the half. Perch - Man of the match for me, got stuck in well and kept it simple. Guthrie - Showed for the ball plenty, not a bad performance Cabaye - Fairly anonymous, grafted as you'd expect. Ben Arfa - Never quite on his game, made some horrible decision in our own half which nearly cost us. Ba - Some decent link up play first half, hardly had a sniff second half. Was very deep at times, and raced back about 70 yards to cover for Ben Arfa after HBA and Simpson managed to give the ball away when stood next to each other, which was nice to see. Cisse - Great finish, could have had a few more too. Shola - Good hold up play, cameos like this I can live with. Gosling - Meh Santon - Solid when he came on I thought. Very similar to the QPR game as some have said only we had a few more chances, a wins a win but we've got to pick it up over the coming weeks.

Did against Blackburn in the cup, but sure, sarcastic remarks over fact. Blackburn were in their own half for 60% of that game. They certainly were. Like it or not from the quotes we've had regarding Abeid the club seem him as a defensive midfielder and therefore he's a possibility to play there. I haven't seen enough of him to know if he'd be good at it or not, but hopefully those who make the decisions have.
