Lots of papers going with "Tiote & Krul wanted by Chelsea" today. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/chelsea-to-bid-30m-for-krul-and-tiot-7578111.html? I can see it being very hard for us to hold on to him. While he always raises our game to another level - we rarely loose with him on the pitch - he's been away or out so much this season that I think we'll manage without him. I reckon the way he stood up at Arsenal might have convinced some of the bigger clubs that he is actually worth >20m

Valencia is such a brilliant player.

Excellent. So much effort and commitment. Man of the match for me.

Great to get the three points, but we could have had the better of them playing wise. Cowardly coached by Pardew again.

We've handed them the ball for 45 minutes. That's why we have to defend. Because they ALWAYS have the ball. It's not fucking rocket science. It's embarrassing.

Such a coward. We play well to begin with, then sit back for 75 minutes, grinding it out as if we were in a relegation battle with poor players. Pathetic.

Shola doing well as a sub, as usual.

Horrible, just begging for it.

Nothing new.

Guthrie has to come off.

Absolutley shocking now. Not only our possession but work rate and positioning. Guthrie incredibly wasteful.

Can't we just play well for once?

Where is Simpson? Why is he not putting Drury under pressure? Wank.

Krul...

We look so nervous

Perch is our best player so far, excellent.

This is so stupid.

That's us back to hoofing, Williamson's fault.

That finish!!

GET IN

Decent start.

Simpson, ridiculous passing. Perch really puts himself about.

With both Cabaye and Guthrie out of position? Please not. And, please please not Guthrie on the left wing.... That's pretty much nobody out of position. Diamond in my mind is = no wingers.

I think it could be a diamond Perch Cabaye Guthrie Ben Arfa

A midfielder who can't run? Don't think he'd get a game there. Technically he's superior to Britton and Allen. Rodgers could probably help him develop as well. Sigurdsson is obviously a better player though.
