Spurs away? December sometime..28th?

mackems, Liverpool stand out. Blackburn and Wigan are growing on me, although Martinez makes the latter less disgusting.. Stoke are just sad now so I don't hate them anymore.

We can sum up 937 pages like: He's Linked He's Awol He's coming He's the best player in the world He's injured Hate De Jongh Silence He's back No he isnt Now he is He's crap Pass to Ba Give him time Pass to Ba The end

If he's signed a new contract it's probably one of the madest decisions I've ever seen in football. Their football is on par with Wigan's, his interviews makes him sound like a mental patient and he's obviously not connected to reality at all (quotes in recent weeks guaranteeing them not being relegated, probably finishing in the top 10 etc.). Nevermind the fans perception of him.

Could be the first time we get to see the soon-to-be most feared central midfield in Europe. Ben Arfa Cabaye Tioté

They haven't lost in 43 games!??

I wouldn't say Tioté is better than Ramires. Different players though. Ramiers is much more dynamic and a very accomplished box-to-box player, reminds me of the way Bowyer used to play for Leeds when in his prime, even though he usually lined up on the wing. Tioté has become more dynamic, but doesn't get into the box or provide any deep running options. Mikel on the other hand, more comfortable in possession, but Tioté's energy and urgency makes him a better player I think. I know Chelsea supporters who are almost as fed up with Mikel as they are with Kalou.

Seems so calm and collected in his interviews. Gets his selections right and knows what to do all the time. Really growing on me, and the way he spoke after the game today sort of filled me with optimism. He dares to believe and has a very positive view of our ability. The Ryan Taylor situation will be important now though. Santon needs to come in.

They have CL mid-week as well, good for us. Tioté in for Guthrie Santon in for RT Obertan in for Sammy Otherwise I'd keep it the same way. Ben Arfa is useful against the top teams, he can unlock anyone where as we'd get nowhere with Best/Ba grafting for 90 mins. He also showed signs of vast improvement today, thought he had a brilliant period of about 15-20 mins during the second half today.

Ryan Taylor's cost us this. Very good for 40 mins. Hope it doesn't get ugly 2nd half.

That's it. Fun while it lasted.

Fucking brilliant move. Ben Arfa could have had his shot aswell.

Ben Arfa + Cabaye some really nice combos Good save Krul

Guthrie and Cabaye excellent so far

Have to get hold of the ball a bit more..

Should have gone for the ball and try to get a shot. Plain stupid.

The fuck? What have we done to deserve that?

Go on Sammy.

Best is out (Ryder)

Where? Twitter and forums, no good sources. I'd settle for this: Ba Ben Arfa Gutierrez - Guthrie- Cabaye - Santon

Rumours that Santon and Ben Arfa are starting.

Arsenal have played very well though, think they'll turn this around.

Who said this? I'm sort of obsessed with the way media paint our current run. Today, one of the most renowned pundits in Sweden wrote that "We will see whether Newcastle have the quality to stay at the top of the league after the test that lie ahead." Again, what fucking test? The absence of analytical ability is overwhelming. Why are they getting paid...
