Memphis

but did manage to put the van in van Aanholt this time. Sounded like he did it under protest, though. "Patrick......VAAAAAANNN.......aanholt"

Colo is fucking class. Everyone else is awful. Despite that, we are still much, much, much better than they are. Ladies and gentlemen, the Championship. Horrendous football.

fucking annoying that he keeps missing the 'van' off 'van Aanholt'. I kept trying to figure out when we had signed someone named Arnold...

Renaming of St James’ Park is a flawed notion which must not and cannot stand

Andy Carroll cannot play any worse.

That was coming.

There's a part of me that's amazed we can put in performances like this - offering virtually nothing - and still be fully capable of winning every single match...and leading the league. The standard in the Championship really is quite poor. That said, Forest should be at least 1-0 up, probably 2.

That was actually a halfway decent move by us.

Their movement up front is really quite good - running circles around the statues we've got placed in midfield.

How did Harewood not put that in the net?

The commentator just got it absolutely right: "Nolan...forward ball to nobody..."

Looks like half the team is still on break. We look as if we couldn't care less.

Has Alan Smith ever stayed on his feet when making a tackle?

Eye-gouging football there.

Only hypothetically speaking of course, but would this potential announcement serve as a definitive end to the sale process? Or would it merely be a recommendation or advisory message or some such, and be therefore open-ended?

What a brilliant cross from Enrique!

If Barton's going to play like this, our midfield is going to be shocking all season. He barely looks interested. And of course Smith's going to get another yellow card. If Graham Poll were referring, he'd get 3 today.

We can barely even string one pass together.

We could not look less inspired right now. Absolutely lifeless.

The only reason I'd be in favor of selling Duff at this stage is if it's a condition to push through the club's sale.

Krul MOTM I'll take a point given the circumstances. Arguably the toughest place to play in the Championship. Now we just need to ensure Real Madrid fuck off away from the legend that is Krul...

Coming on this late Nile will only be able to get two, I'm afraid.

Yep. Barton for Nolan and either LuaLua for Jonas or Ranger for Shola. And KRUL IS A LEGEND!!!!!

Sholinho was brilliant there.
