but at the SAME time?! Shola's brain will implode. Haha,shouldn't be anywhere near the pitch

Well we know you can beat Chelsea by moving it quickly and running in behind them,we can do that

Argh! Ahh well,we stay third :-)

Chelsea are poor like,no rhythm at all,looks like they've been told to just knock it long.

Adam just kicks someone,for the second time in the game.

Why are more teams walking out in tracky tops? Purely about merchandise? They should walk out wearing club hats,scarves,gloves and tracky bottoms as well

I'd renew his contract personally,good cover.

My god do I hate Liverpool

He's moving to London AND Manchester? Does that mean we'll get two transfer fees?

Absolutely right Mick

Dont think Pardew's said anything wrong. If the club think they can get a better right back for the same wages then they should do it.

So sell Tiote and replace him with someone just like Tiote was when we signed him?

Agree. Allthough, I still think Marveaux will turn out to be a success. He won't have to retire, or won't 'do a Dyer' imo. He'll be back in February and will play his part this season. I'll think he'll be a success if he can keep himself fit, there was a massive question mark over that when we signed him and it just got a bit bigger.

I hope so, he's certainly good enough to play in the champions league though and i couldnt blame him if he moved for that.

generous, he's having an operation on the part of his body that kept him out last season isnt he?

yep, I doubt he'll even change it for Man U, but then it does beg the question what has ho happen for Santon to get a chance. I suppose a couple of games against lesser teams conceding a few would do it.

got a bit of a dodgy feeling about this, i wonder if he's holding out to see where we finish? if the worst happens I hope Graham Carr's got his eye on a couple of centre halves to bring in sharpish

interesting watching that

No surprise is it,could've spent money on a transfer fee for someone without the injury history but that's our transfer policy.

How do we know that? Ba and Ben Arfa have played one PL game together. Well we have quite a few examples of how well these two work together. IMO Best will be even better with HBA, but Ba is our top scorer and shouldn't be dropped on current form. I agree that we haven't seen enough of HBA and Ba together, but I'm not sure OT is the place to try it. You're right, the Etihad stadium was the place to try it,and they did well against the best team in the country,both had chances. All this clamour to fit Leon Best back in the team is making my eyes burn, we should give Ba and Ben Arfa a chance to work because they're better players.

Not convinced we would tbh,in a world where Jordan Henderson goes for 20,tiote's worth much more

Delighted I'm going to this like,best chance of a result in years. I can see both sides of the Raylor/Santon debate,only Pardew knows if the latter is up to speed.

Do we want a draw between Chelsea and Liverpool tomorrow then?

Derek knows his stuff

Whoever mentioned that Ba doesn't have to be a 'hold up' striker to link with HBA is absolutely right btw,we can work it forwards these days
