Pretty much, was surprised that Ba took it.

Who has he bought, anyway? Juan Mata and?

@Pardew: You lucky bastard. Also, Pards for England.

Ya know what, I think I've figured him out. If he tries a backheel (and pulls it off) its Shola the Beast on the pitch.

SHOLA YOU BEAUTY

WHAT? Pardew: "You tried to play football. Off to the sin bin now."

I don't particularly dislike him, but boy oh boy does he need taking out of the team. Aren't there any old fuckers like Diatta out there we can sign on a free?

That's what it looked like towards the end of the first half. Cabaye Ba and Cisse went "fuck this shit lets play".

The introduction of Cisse. Completion of the Pardy Dream Team. Seriously, IF we are going to play that long ball tactics (which I think we are forced to do so under 4-4-2), it should be Shola and Cisse. Shola has won lots of headers and is the key reason why the long ball tactics worked before. Cisse's scoring record makes things very complicated. He gave me the feeling of Tino again. Good player, bad timing. Lol, the key to making a shit tactic work is to use shit players. Why can't we just do the sensible thing and play football instead?

Absolutely wasted on the left.

The introduction of Cisse. Completion of the Pardy Dream Team.

The people watching this game with me must be wondering why I'm such an angry person <_<

I suppose Pardew didn't mention what exactly this "new style" he had in mind for us was.

Did I really see Pardew berate Santon for bringing the ball forward instead of hoofing it?

How many other teams pick wingers based on their defensive capabilities? Especially at home, against a shit team. Absolutely shite attitude imo. Ugh, forget that, why are we intentionally crippling ourselves down the right hand side? Spring a surprise on them, unleash Santon and Ben Arfa down the right with Fergie and Jonas on the left, they'll never see it coming (neither will we)

Bah, why did I un-captain Van Persie :|

No, he was describing how we played against Liverpool.

The players always say Pardew is extremely meticulous in his preparation - sometimes I wonder if he ends up overloading the players with information, which results in the random hoofball we get.

If we had this poll in 2009 I'd struggle to pick 2.

Man, its depressing how large the gap is between the teams in the SEA region and the rest of Asia.

So the knee is fine for now, was bricking it when he went down. Hopefully his achilles does not flare up Was surprised that Cisse went off instead of him for HBA.

Well, yes, but chess games have game clocks. You're not supposed to take 70 minutes to decide on your first fucking move.

Erm, Barton was never that useless. Not sure why he never seems to get into crossing positions particularly often, might be down to Simpson's laziness.

Has he had massive injury issues or something? Only 9 games for AS Monaco in 2010-2011

Vuckic hopes so. So does Ben Arfa, but eh, we all know that's not happening.
