He was offside though [/AVB]

I don't buy this at all, I think it's an overreaction to a throwaway comment TBH. Pardew could easily change his mind and play him wide if he wanted, he obviously just doesn't want to. I'd agree if he'd said it once, but he has re-iterated it on several occasions

Ages ago, he's back now though. Where's he at now then?

When the holy fuck did Marlon Harewood move to China?

Pardew has backed himself into a corner with the "Ben Arfa will only ever play number 10 role" comments - but maybe Marveaux's injury for the whole season will give Pardew the get out he needs. He can just say "Sylvain's injury means we ight have to re-think - maybe we could use Hatem on the flanks as Sylvain's injury has left us a little light." That's if he even fancies playing him as a winger of course

Yep

Is Chris Burke involved in every single Birmingham goal? I'm pretty sure he is

Andy Thorn, great answer

Sean Dyche will win voice of the year man

Tony Mowbray North East Sports Personality of the year. Are you fucking joking?

Big Sam doing a classic Chief Wiggum there. "You didn't give an answer, you just started mumbling and trailed off"

it actually belongs to Wham. Used to transport Kevin Nolan. Nolan, Diop, Carew...Big Sam. It's a wonder they don't have a fleet of them

Reading's physios have a golf buggy! Amazing laziness.

Aye. Dexter Blackstock went in goal and we opted not to shoot for the 30 mins or so he was in. Was live on TV for some reason IIRC. Exceptional knowledge http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4703860.stm Well bar the minutes big Dex was in goal but who cares

That keeper...did he play for Southampton against us in the Roeder FA cup run? Won 1-0 Dyer scored but I think the keeper went off injured or something, seem to remember him for some reason.

No they sacked off the dyke. I think it was all pointless anyway, they showed a load of outtakes at the end of the season...but surely it would be live if you could text in?

My favourite part of the weekend, this slapstick look at shit football.

My god does Brian Blessed coach at QPR? Loudest "take him on!" ever

Suarez has 46 shots a game

Shut up man Hansen

That cunt Dorrans got a pen every week in the Championship.

Big Brede hang your giant head in shame

On SSN I heard Merson say "Tim Cahill hasn't scored for a year" - is that true? Or was he exagerrating?

I heard that None the wiser tbh

Swansea shouldn't cause us so much trouble from set pieces, even if they scored from one today. They're a fairly small side, unless they bring out all the giants for this match. They like to keep it on the deck and will pass the shit out of us so it's vital Tiote's fit or else we're going to see some Smudger yellows
