He will though.

If we lose we're gonna be stuck in mid table for a while I think, very important game for our season.

Hahaha, is that real?

It's not and you shouldn't need telling that, he's a class player and football is about watching his type of player. Well said Mickster. Even if he left I'd make a point of watching whoever he played for.

I want Everton to fucking hammer them.

Didn't Golfmag say he gets a cut of the transfer fee? Think it was he gets rewarded for keeping costs down and doing well financially overall? I don't understand that mind, wouldn't he have to be involved in the budget to have any effect over spending?

They were absolutely gifted two goals at Swansea as well.

I expect a win, the difference that Krul, Colo and Taylor make is massive. As I said before Pardew should have faith in them to cope with problems and let Cabaye and Ben Arfa get forward.

They can't play Stoke every week. He's on his way to being found out, doubt the media will ever admit it like. I've watched them quite a bit this season, they're a terrible team.

If we replace Ba with a wide forward who scores a few a creates a few I've got no problem with that tbh.

As if the Fulham fans have nicked our Perchinho chant for Baird, cunts!

Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Perch Bigi Cabaye Ben Arfa Ba Cisse

They're setting themselves up for such a huge fall with this Taylor stuff.

This has the potential to be a pivotal point in our season imo. We've got everyone fit, Pardew can look to play a progressive system based on passing, take the risks knowing that we've got our first choice back 5 there to mop up any loss of possession. Alternatively we can start with Shola and just kick it at him and Ba so it's away from our goal, we might get the result but there's no longevity in that way of playing with these players imo. I could see the thinking behind abandoning the 4-3-3 in favour of getting Ba and Cisse both on the pitch in their favoured position, but we shouldn't be starting Shola in a brainless 4-4-2, we're better than that.

Trevor Francis - "we've just seen the worst of the premier league".

why am i watching this?

He doesn't, but he will.

Not worried, he still gets the chances and is in the right positions.

Semi's

Norwich deserve 3 points, were the better team before the sending off.

horrendous signing, but we knew that at the time

Well we basically need a 4-3-3, but we all knew that anyway.

Oh god, we've got that to look forward to as well.

What the fuck is this?

This IS an interesting one in terms of the formation debate given that we hammered them a few months ago playing 4-3-3. Pardew's gonna have to think carefully about this one.
