Cabo Habo Dembo and Toto

Man, the arrogance at redcafe, "anything between 12-15 mil will be enough to prise him away from Newcastle" fuck off.

Long ball for the rest of the season then.

Has Saha been that bad this whole season? That header when he was totally unmarked, reminded me of me

Best may win a few headers but he really isn't very good at keeping possession. Shola's a far better player in that respect but even then, he's not worth playing unless he's in Tottenham/Sunderland-Shola mode.

Pardew's instructions, imo. He was so persistent with kicking it long I can't imagine it to be for any other reason.

Aye, bit of a mystery why Pardew has done this twice in the space of a week. He has not one attribute needed to be effective on the wing.. Krul was lobbing it long to Obertan a lot that game, Pardew probably thought Shola would be even better for that role.

Don't you need to pick up 5 yellows for an auto suspension?

Its his footballing brain that's lacking, he practically has everything else a footballer would need.

Captain Nani, Man Utd goes on to score 5 and he isn't involved in any of the goals.

Nice one Obertan

Counted 5 or 6 times we had an attack and he passed to a Bolton player. I'm all for being patient with a player but f*** me he needs to be dropped asap. Best has been just as fucking guilty. Best has been comfortably the worst player on the pitch.

1. He's not Pardew's man. 2. Pardew is seeing something others can't. 1. Nor was Best so that argument does not rub 2. Correct - Best and Obertan and shit. Inferiority complex, can't stand letting players better than he ever was doing well.

Should be Ben Arfa coming on, but the only time Pardew's ever made a tactical change at half time was to haul Ben Arfa off, so...

Ba scores more when Best is playing don't you know that?

May as well sub the whole midfield off now.

Of course it is, we have Besty upfront to you know, win headers and shit. He's a goalscorer too.

So uhh, we started Best just to have an outlet for aimless long balls from the back?

Best you donkey

Are we going to try to re-sign Carroll in January?

Based on what? ...and lo and behold. it's my only gripe with him so far that he's become so frustratingly predictable anyway, that team SHOULD be enough to beat them, howay lads HBA to come on at 70 minutes when we're 2-1 behind.

Well, this is the same man who took Ben Arfa off for Shola Ameobi at half time for no apparent reason.

Some of our best crosses against Swansea were put in by simpson, did you watch the game? It was one lucky punt out of what, 5-7 attempts? He has zero consistency at it.

Please tell me you're taking the p*ss. His positioning is arguably the worst thing about his game. FAO Mick, this is what I'm getting at. ^ That's just people mind reading, I've seen no sign of him thinking he's made it. I've seen a player who came to the club on loan and is now a much better footballer. I haven't seen an ounce of improvement in him since his first few matches last season. Even Jonas is a better crosser of the ball than he is nowadays, on his weaker foot no less.
