Bench: Richardson, Ferguson, Guthrie, Shola, Krul, Perch, Kuqi

Ranger is injured. For christ sake somebody quote that so we don't have 100 people going "FUCK PARDEW MAN RANGER IS MINT"

John Anderson boils my piss. "I'm not too sure about wingbacks. Simpson on the right side of midfield doesn't convince me" WING. BACK. Ranger injured

I'm absolutely livid. After probably the worst first half I've seen all season I went to Tesco, came back, 49 minutes on the clock, 1-1. Fuckers. To make matters worse after I put the shopping away went to get my laptop and Morrison scored. FML.

Think it'll be another draw tbh. Can see it following the same pattern as the first half last week at least

Yes, at the SoL in a few weeks

My team going into this week includes: Onuoha, Vidic, Barton, Carroll, Feillani, Adam, DJ Campbell. All very doubtful/definitely out. Add to that you can only pick one of your keepers means I've got 8 players potentially unavailable and no wildcard to use. Mint.

Looks like it's taken from physiroom. Pardew said he was in contention for Everton.

Ah, gotcha. To be fair that does sound worse.

What did he say like? Pardew said: “We’ll have Stephen and Shola back next week and be better for it. Hopefully we’ll have Joey back, but we’ll see.”

No meltdown just in a loyalty dispute with forgetful people with rose tinted glasses. Go back to bed N-O Mike Ashley has sorted it out, go back to bed N-O Mike Ashley has it sorted out, here's hours of Pardew talking go back to bed N-O Mike Ashley has sorted it out. Post of the year.

1-1 against the Mackems 5-1 against the Mackems. Wow what an improvement. Love how you take away all context from the games. I love that everybody seems to forget his record. It is crap and he always does well in the first season and crap in the second, this is undeniable. Surely therefore you are forgetting his record by saying he is rubbish in his first season?

How many times has Best been offside?

Steven Taylor for Jonas Ranger for Lovenkrands 3 Centre backs, two wing backs.

Steve Taylor on. Flat back 8.

I like it when we score

First you say this, then you don't go to the game. WHY JONNY? WHY?

Shane Ferguson promoted to the bench

Confirmed, fuck

Bolton, August 2008. Nolan missed a pen

Everytime we've got into a position like this (winnable game that could really get us momentum) we've failed to win. Worry our lack of creativity could be apparent here if they come for a draw. I expect Robinson will spend the whole game trying to wind up Barton, hopefully he doesn't succeed.

As Pulp once said, he is not Jesus but he has the same initials.

First match was a Coca-Cola cup match in 1996, about 3 days after we beat Man Utd 5-0. Newcastle 1 - 0 Oldham, Beardsley penalty. Not much happened after that tbh but Beardsley was my hero growing up so seeing him score was great. I would have been 8 incidentally.
