Nobody

Which is why the ignore function is completely useless

Sorry for singling you out Sewelly, as me and pretty much everyone else was against his appointment and we thought this would happen as well, but this tickled me as I was scrolling through the first few pages. It just couldn't be further from the truth

Great ball for Ba that Begovic kept out (that looked like studs up, knee-high to me btw), but quiet on the ball apart from that. Ran his arse off though, remember when he misplaced an easy pass in the second half and he just got his head down and sprinted back to repair his mistake.

Good post

"You got to look at the big picture. Woodgate, Palacios, Upson, Jerome, Crouch for £18m, I don't think that's bad business." Pulis on Sportsweek yesterday. Sorry, but I do think that's terrible business compared to Ba, Cabaye, Obertan, Santon and Marveux for £10m or whatever they cost. You've signed a bunch of cloggers for way massive money, and thank fuck you got showed up tonight you little twat.

Got a lot of time for Everton tbh, they are constantly up there even though they spend fuck all. Can see a similar type of game as against Spurs, both teams going for it and it being very high tempo and some good football on show. And just like the Spurs game, this could go either way. Pardew will have some difficult choices in the week, especially if Tiote is back. Guthrie was magnificent today, but we all know Tiote is the better player, and we'll need him in a game like this.

One thing I noticed tonight btw, when they lumped it to Crouch, we seemed to be more than happy put one man on putting him under pressure but not actually challenge for the ball (unless it was in our penalty area) so we could win the second ball instead. Very clever move from Pardew, as neither Taylor or Colo would have done well in the air against him.

Considering what he did to them last time he played against them, I would love for him to start. Would be harsh as fuck on whoever he replaces though.

Said it in the match thread at half time, can't believe that I can't find a place in the team for one of my favourite players (and not just NUFC-players)

Dear god, their forum is as ugly as the football they play.

Got the feeling that Walters (?) said something nasty to Ba in the aftermath, as he very suddenly got really aggressive.

The thing I was most pleased with in the first half was that you could see the game plan wasn't just to try and out-battle them. If we'd tried that we would have struggled. Instead we used incredible pressing to hassle their very poor footballers into a lot of mistakes on the ball. Even their long balls were misdirected most of the time, they were under such pressure from our midfield and forwards. And then when we got the ball, we clearly wanted to use the pace of Obertan, Jonas and Ba to counter quickly. It's why the possession stats are probably in their favour, there was no point in us being patient today (which we have been in most of our games), we needed to get at them as quickly as possible. That first half was a tactical master work from Pardew.

Both Stoke and Fulham would have been top half had they beaten us btw, so that "argument" can go fuck itself.

And which one do you disagree with? Best could've had a 9 maybe? All 3. How does Best get 2.5 more than Raylor? Best was never .5 points behind Ba, same as Colo etc. Gave the ball away on a canny few occasions, poor at winning it back... Best played a massive part in all our goals and was very good in general play. Deserves his 8.5, I'd probably give him a 9 though. Don't agree with the Krul and Taylor ratings, mind.

I remember last season we had that very problem though, we were a match for any of the top 4/6 but just couldn't get the results against the dross. It's going to be interesting to see this season if we're as competitive with the top teams as last season. Tottenham are probably the third best team in the league atm, their form is fantastic, and we matched them very well. Some might say we were lucky to get a draw in that game, IMO, we could easily have won it as we were at the very least as good as them.

His post match interviews are always spot on, and he never bullshits or whinge about the officials.

Fuck you, haters Best part today was when he wanted the towel, gave the ball just the quickest of wipes and then threw it short Problem, Pulis?

Best I've seen him play for us, was immense. Must've been fucking knackered towards the end.

Was the R.Taylor free kick that almost took him out our first free kick? I can't remember any before that. And while we're on that, how is that not a yellow? He had absolutely no intention what-so-ever at playing the ball, just jumped straight in to Taylor.

That's a 9.9/10. The 0.1 is obviously for bringing Perch on, though I suppose it's nice to give the opposition a chance.

Before I go into how fucking great we were today, let me just say this: FUCK YOU TONY PULIS YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT. How the fuck do you have the audacity to whinge to the fourth ref about our throw ins? Look at your own team you fucking shithead.

Van Persie is the top scorer with ten goals, right?

Cabaye and Guthrie the two that have covered the most distance in the first half. Not at all surprised.

He's been more direct today than recently, lush cross for the goal as well. Best has been fantastic today as well like, playing to keep his place and does it wonderfully. Christ man, I'm a massive Ben Arfa fan, and I can't even find a place for him in our team at the moment

We've been excellent, fucking excellent! They've created nowt, and it's only thanks to Begovic that it's not 4-0. MASSIVE credit to Pardew for this, our tactics have been spot on. The gameplan has been clear as day, and it's working a treat. Hit them hard on quick counter attacks when we're on the ball and put them under pressure as soon as we lose it, and the team has responded to it perfectly. Fantastic stuff.
