Good for him, bad for us as a week of light training and rest would have been good for him.

Canny pitch for the Burkina faso Togo game, its like a beach!

the thing that gets me about the Tiote sending off is that despite giving us the free kick Atkinson didn't take into account the pull on Tiote which as a result was the cause of Tiote missig the ball and catching the player, without the foul initially on Cheick he takes the ball clean.

i would certainly be putting him straight back in the team next week, i watched the first hour of the game today and thought he was very good, barely gave the ball away in that time and seemed back to what he does best, win it and play it simple. NUFC look a much much better side when we have Tiote and Cabaye in the team together, something that has rarely happened and now with Sissoko added to the mix that is a very solid powerful midfield for a tough away game. He should be back here by Wednesday and the other players won't be back till Thursday so time for him to be in the team and Pardew to plan the tactics with him in mind. In regards to the poll, i am pretty sure AVB and the spurs players would be delighted if they find Tiote on the bench and Perch in the team.

He's meant to be going out in town for a meal with Cabaye. Might have been knocked on the head with his nose smashed.

Wish we could pull him out of the international game midweek, with his time out injured and the huge effort he has put in this week in the two games, a nice relaxing week could have done him the world of good. Hopefully Deschamps will only give him a half a game, ideally by swapping him for Sissoko.

Demba kept missing his pocket when he was putting his wallet away

This lad looks decent and actually looks like the player you want Obertan to be, brave and working and positive.

A brilliant performance and two good goals with the icing on the cake him bursting past Ashley Cole in the 2nd half, can't really think i have ever seen anyone burn past Cole like that.

An on form Tiote makes us a much much better team and personally i am really looking forward to seeing Tiote, Cabaye and Sissoko as a midfield, certainly wouldn't want to sell him. Yes he hasn't had the best of seasons so far but he is a quality player. in the same way ba and cisse didn't fit together up front, sometimes the player needs to fit the role. this could be the chance for tiote to go back to what he does best behind cabaye, sissoko, ben arfa and one from anita, marveaux, gouffran. yes agree, just get him back to winning it and giving it simple to the likes of Cabaye. I think part of his problem this season, apart from the lack of match fitness due to injury and suspension when he has played i think he has been trying too hard and with Cabaye missing he has ended up trying to be the playmaker instead of the destroyer.

Yes, though Wigan and Reading will most likely get something in their next match so that gap will be reduced come the weekend Who have they got? think Reading are home to the mackems

Haven't Reading just signed Stephen Kelly from Fulham, why would they buy another RB?

so if we win 3-0 are rock solid, Colo scores and Taylor gets two who are you going to drop??

With all the focus on the french players after our signing spree it'll be just our luck for N'Zogbia to steel the show and tear us apart!!

for all we know Anita may have picked up a slight knock in the last few days and not 100% fit. I am happy with the team, the back 4 is what i expected after the squad had the practice match last week and one of the teams lined up with the back 5 that has been picked tonight.

injured not dropped.

With Villa's weaknesses wit crosses playing Shola and going 442 might not be the worst move in the world. In saying that i wouldn't do it.

Despite all the shit he's been getting on here, today we have Colo, following on from the likes of Hatem coming out with nothing but praise for our manager. While its a results driven business its clear that the players still believe in him and are fully behind the manager, as were the new players who have all commented on being impressed with the manager and his plans.

Unless Sweden has relocated to Argentina I don't see this being a problem. ah thats ok then, someone told me they were playing a qualifier back in Argentina.

I hope when he goes back to link up with the national team in a few weeks he comes back and doesn't go awol over there.

if everyone is fit and on form my team would be KRUL DEBUCHY MYM COLO SANTON TIOTE SISSOKO HATEM CABAYE MARV CISSE

if it gets us a win i don't care, playing 4231/433 in the last few months hasn't exactly had us racking up the points!

wonder if he has watched the DVD yet.

looking at the other games played next week a win for either club could be massive, hopefully it will be us. QPR play Man City, Reading play Chelsea, Southampton are at old trafford, Norwich play Spurs and Wigan go to Stoke.
