Don't feel one ounce of sympathy for him, he's an extremely wealthy man who's known he's finished here for ages and doesn't care about football enough to have taken a pay cut to get a game elsewhere.

I'm starting to think that isn't even a rule anymore. Almost half of all throws I see look foul to me but I can't remember the last one I saw given. mentioned this in the pet hates thread ages ago, i honestly think they've just given up on the rule

he's 30 now? brain dead fuckwit

If we can keep last nights back four plus Jonas and Cabaye on the pitch and keep clean sheets I think we'll pick up results like, Best/HBA/Shola/Cabaye must have a couple of goals in them over the next month.

hope they get fucking relegated

Racism's en vogue in the Far East. I don't get it, do Porto get the same sort of advertising revenue?

i've seen a good goal

why though? genuinely, why?

Liverpool getting 20m a season what's wrong with the world?

took the plunge and just got rid of ba like, need to go for it so not gonna play it safe

sweet, really hope he's fit enough for the last half hour of QPR at least, we're gonna need him this month

yeah it was great, atmosphere in the last 5 minutes was so much fun. we come out of the ground right opposite the way fans as well, they were spewing.

leave the sexy bastard out if he took a knock

Krul Santon Williamson Perch Ferguson Obertan Cabaye Vuckic Jonas Ben Arfa Best

if it unsettles him we might get him towards the end of the window or in the summer, that's how we roll.

neither is 'the world is flat'. what's your point?

We wouldn't care if we lost you either. Forum spokesman? Anywho, will be a good game and basically the battle of the Champions slayers. A win for us...confident.

the way he looks up and so seriously says 'I love syrup' is absolutely amazing

That's how I feel about Obertan. Seems most other people see him in a different way. After criticising people who were saying he should be in the side yesterday, I'm surprised you have even shown up in this thread. I never said he shouldn't be in the side. I said it's not fair to call Raylor and Simpson crap and someone who had only played 3 games brilliant. There's a difference between being fair and having sound judgement, and a difference between calling two players crap/one brilliant and saying that one is clearly the better option for the team.

We wouldn't care if we lost you either.

The attitude was the main difference for me. Against Liverpool we laid out the red carpet and allowed a much worse team to dictate play. Pardew was rightly criticised for his part in that. At least we put that right last night. Even though we had two big lads up front, the most impressive players were still the ones who held the ball under pressure and passed it. Tiote, Coloccini, Santon, Cabaye and Ba were all outstanding. Yep, good points.

Aye it's early days, but the difference down the flank from against Liverpool was remarkable, lets hope he can do that every game the above quote is not my opinion

I love this man. Please come back Demba. If his contract's up in 2 1/2 years we should be improving that immediately.

That's how I feel about Obertan. Seems most other people see him in a different way. Still though, all Santon's done is run up the wing a few times eh? It's not as if he was very obviously our best full back after one premier league game is it? Fantastic last night, very rarely wastes the ball, sign of a good player in any position. Seems to be pretty good in the air as well which is a bonus.

The most important difference for me was that we got stuck into them for 90 minutes and didn't stand off them in awe like we did against a significantly poorer Liverpool team. Much, much better. Interesting about the 'we had our best team out' comments. I could be wrong but couldn't we have fielded that team against Liverpool?
