Funny if it was. Joined groups - "Nigel De Jong should be banned" "What's the time? 5 past Sunderland"

Asked him when Ben Arfa will sign. "He el sign tomorrow." @Josenufc3 That's it Jose. @AlanBigDickPardew Sorry GAF! I didn't tell hem and dem bout sign Larsson from Birmigan doh.

Taylor did it again!

Well he was past him and he cynically tried taking him out. This Mason guy is a clown though.

Tottenham want him.

Get Millhouse on the wing.

Could Gosling make the subs tomorrow?

In this Barclays Premier League

Same. Nothing to say he'll be the same player, and even if he is this strikes me more of Ashley seeing an opportunity to make easy money out of a resale rather than to improve us beyond the short term. Same as Gosling. It makes me feel sick to imagine Ben Arfa coming back not as good, what an awful shame that would be baring in mind how good he can be.

Spurs today were as bad as any team we've played recently. Bullshit. Annoys the piss out of me how some people think they "weren't that good" just because they weren't pissing all over us with 80% possession. Anyone with eyes could see the difference in class between us and them. That's because we were worse than being not that good.

Smith upfront and Perch at center back apparently.

Probably Coloccini's if he keeps turning his back on play Sorry? Knew that would anger you. For me, he turned his back on the third goal against City, hence the ball went in off his back. It's not a new thing with him, he quite often does it. I seem to remember Shearer bring it up on MOTD after we got beat at West Ham in the relegation season and I've looked out for it since. EDIT: That and I quoted the wrong post. I meant to quote this: I actually thought that when they scored the third goal and it's true, if he doesn't turn away from the shot then the ball wouldnt have taken the direction of going towards the goal. If Taylor had been in that position we obviously would have either not conceded or it would have hit him on the hand and he would have been lying in agony on the floor clutching his stomach like he'd just swallowed the biggest penis ever to be seen and it was unable to be digested.

He's brilliant to watch, everytime I see us put the ball in the box I just expect Carroll to make something happen.

Barton was on Five Live before the game today saying that with a couple of good additions we'd be a decent team capable of finishing in the top eight. He's not wrong IMO. Unfortunately I don't see the owner freeing up the necessary funds. I agree but everything has turned awkward for no reason at all, with a sensible owner even supplying limited funds we'd have a decent squad with players with very good potential (Carroll,Tiote,Enrique). The players were extremely happy together and there would be no real pressure on the manager (Hughton) as we would have stayed up fairly comfortable. Now, not only have we got rid of a manager who all the players liked, but more importantly Ashley who had started to look like he might have learnt his lesson has gone and for absolute definite shown us he's going to keep putting us in the shit no matter how well we do.

Nothing to do with Pardew, but I can't help but hating Ashley everytime we lose because all I can think of is our best players just getting sick of it at some point and fucking off. We have the potential to become a good team with some of the players we have and if only we didn't have a dickhead owner then maybe just maybe we could have gradually brought them along. He just doesn't get it does he.

Brilliant finish.

Only on loan which I'm pretty sure won't be an option. Keane is as you said clearly miles ahead our other options to partner Carroll, however he's only going to get worse and for the amount he'd cost (5m-6m) I think it would be a waste of money considering we aren't in the shit in terms of needing a big boost to improve our survival chances. I don't think it would be a gamble not signing another striker because I think we'll stay up pretty comfortably and then can look at improving our squad short and long term in the summer.

Is there a chance this could be called off?

They suspended bets on that.

Which player is capable of playing very well for all games of the season? Messi probably has 4-5 bad games in a season
