In the scheme of this match extra time would probably suit us more (2nd competitive match of 2013 for them etc.) but with sunday looming on the horizon I'd like this wrapped up in the 90mins.

we're making tough work of this shower o shite.

Simpson wearing a pair of his bird's tights?

not long started watching.... where the fuck is cisse supposed to be playing?

Hope he starts v Southampton. Can't see him being involved in Ukraine, although I'd love him to get a cameo to s*** them right up. Hope he starts against the saints on Sunday too. Purely selfish reason though. Coming down for the match and been telling my stepson how fucking awesome this guy is and want him to see HBA play in the flesh and not just on FIFA 13.

Gotta be game of the day on football first no? Wor lass is gonna be pissed. Staying in to watch this.

must be the 1st match I've missed all season. Grrrr!!! Happy to miss the rest of them is this continues!!

Maybe I'm being biased but I would say Krul's spell with Falkirk done him good and I seem to recall him talking highly of the experience in general.

Hope the travelling fans enjoy this one. They sure as feck deserve to bask in the 3 points.

Thank God that's over....i'm away to A&E now. Was optimistic about staying up after the new sigings but on this showing Pardew could still take us down which is unthinkable with this set of players. Didn't expect to coast the 2nd half like we did the 1st but feck me. It wasn't beyond the realms of reason that Lambert might 'go for it' and to me Pardew had no ideas how to combat that and for a manager in the EPL that's criminal.

Taylor what the fuck were you doing?!

This Little bloke is really starting to grate on my nerves.

4 bookings a 'sign of commitment' for them....if it was us it would be 'indiscipline' etc. f*** off you w***!

30 mins more of this? I cannae take it!

I'm so fucking sick of listening to biased commentators.

The Pardew HT curse strikes again?

hopefully the translator's been kidnapped and they'll ignore pardew's usual negativity at HT talks.

Well done Krul! Very confidently done.

wonder how pardew will screw this up. it's going too well.

I'm gonna buy wor lass a cabaye face mask!

That's what we get for sitting back!

Pardew you're a fucking genius!!!

Krul playing it on the deck!!!!

Gouffran's been popping up all over the place.

Tiote been sending him shooting tips?
