Dr Venkman

he'll start to come into things more as the season progresses, as others have said, we wont play well with this 11 all season. especially in january when Ba's not here. We'll need him even more next year with all the Europa League fixtures

For me that makes the over-valuing of English players so completely counter-productive. What we're doing this season won't go un-noticed,Liverpool aren't gonna finish that far ahead of us,if at all,and at some point John Henry's gonna ask Dogleash why Pardew could achieve similar results with 100m less investment. Teams will go the cheap foreign route more and more and it'll only effect young uk players coming through,either that or the stockpiling of young talent by the massive clubs will get worse. Or something.

Or chopra could be bending the truth a bit to claw back a bit of good will in his home town?

You said that he was 'absolutely' the right man for the job. Not the 'best of what is available'. Not a 'pretty good choice, all things considered'. Not even a 'overall good choice' for the job. Two of us have tried to explain it to you He is absolutely the right man for the job but that doesnt mean any of us, even you , will agree with every decision he makes. Cant really put it any simpler. So in your opinion he's absolutely the right man for the job but makes wrong decisions regarding Jonas and ben Arfa on a weekly basis? Or, he's the right man for the job because he's a good manager and your criticism of Jonas and ben Arfa is down to you being an attention seeking bore?

brilliant, hope he gets prosecuted and banned from the ground, the twat

This attitude is really starting to grate on me. Everyone wrote us off last night yet we passed that test with flying colours. After their dominant opening to the season, Man Utd haven't looked great since then and are conceding the most amount of chances throughout the whole league. Nevermind having an outside chance of a draw, we should be going there with the belief we can win - they aren't unbeatable. Thankfully it looks as though our players have this belief in themselves, just wish this would transfer to some of our fans too. i actually do believe we can beat man u, same as i believed last night before the game that we could beat stoke, and said so, i'm posting what i think will happen not what i think we're capable of if we perform to our highest standard every week.

some idiotic not realising that he's trying to out a troll there

problem, stoke fans?

that lot goes without saying

on that note, i criticised the signing based on his fitness worries, on this evidence i needn't have been worried.

think it should it should be given to someone at the end of the season, make them earn it (it'll be him)

totally agree with this, beating a defensive four who are standing on the half way line to a ball over the top is meat and drink to him, it's when we're at home and breaking teams down that he needs to improve. delighted for him that he was so effective last night though, and massive credit to pardew for utilising him properly. it works both ways though and if obertan continues to look blunt at home then marveuax should get more of a chance.

City will beat us comfortably, not that we'll necessarily play badly. If Tiote's fit for Man U we've got an outside chance of a draw, their defence can be got at and we have the players to do it. We've got every chance of beating chelsea at home imo, they're giving away so many chances.

Same here. it's amazing isnt it. I'm sure this season so far is way beyond what any of us thought.

Said before Stoke that we had the players to beat them and it depended on how we applied ourselves, exactly the same applies here. On that basis, due to the massive confidence that will be running through the club, Tiote possibly to come back in, HBA, Marveuax and Santon pushing for places, I think we'll win this, 2-1. All that said a draw would be a good result taking us into the three really tough games. Fully expecting the St James crowd to completely ignore any context though, just take one look at the table, moan like fuck if it's 0-0 at half time and boo if we lose.

Let's not feed the troll anymore

General consensus still on RTG that our players are shite,ridiculous.

Doing a fantastic job and seems utterly determined to be a success,just has an aura about him which seems measured that I really like. Never thought he'd be this good like.

Special mention for Ba kicking off when Huth stuck his knee in Krul,he was getting criticised for it by the commentators but that's what teams who are all fighting for each other do. Great to see as long as it doesn't go too far.

:lol: One of the greatest post match interviews ever that, Jonas looked like a wrestler,kept expecting him to grab the mic and kick off.

So proud of the lads after that like,pressure was on and they totally delivered.

The lads are totally naked there like

balance of play ok? we knocking it around? fucking killing me not being able to watch

GET IN

let's twat these wankers
