Oh yes. I just turned gay.

Krul 7 - Did well given the pressure, but few outstanding moments and a few howlers. R Taylor 7.5 - Helped out a lot by Jonas, but looked more solid than expected and played quite a few decent little balls.. S Taylor 6.5 - Quite a few silly errors but one or two essential touches. Also looked a threat going forwards as always (would have scored the second if Ba had missed). Colo 9 - Immense Simpson 8 - Looked good going forwards, and had very little to trouble him until Walters went onto the left. Jonas 9 - Unbelievably solid. Looks like a good choice world cup fullback Cabaye 7.5 - Mixed. Some great balls, but lost the ball a fair bit too. Guthrie 8 - A more than capable backup midfielder. Obertan 8 - Mercurial, but looked a real threat on the break Best 8 - Worked very hard; unselfish Ba 9 - MOTM. What else can I say? Subs: Perch 2 - Only gets more than 1 as he isn't Smith. Sameobi 5 - Didn't get long, but what he did get was disappointing. Pards 8 - Poor substitutions, but everything else was absolutely superb.

Man of the match by a fecking country mile! Although I agree he's been absolutely outstanding, it would be a bit unfair not to give this to Ba.

Sameobi

I would LOVE this.

Demba 'Dreamboat' Ba

That is just absolutely ridiculously soft. Two absolute non penalties but at least consistent.

ROFLMAO

Good start perchy

Perch for Cabaye. Srsly?

edit: Aw shit

Aww fuckedy fuck

Best needs to come off for Marveaux I reckon.

Demba Ba, not a wanker, not a wanker

Obertan. We all knew he should start.

k'in ell. Did not expect that

What a fantastic ball from a player with no end product.

I imagine we'll be f***ed with this new home grown rule. Charlie counts

Their thread on this: http://www.allezlelosc.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=91776&sid=a0422ad997594c02cc8be3375cbf0476 So what seems to be their thoughts on this rumour? My french isn't the greatest although it would apear Barton has at least one fan on there Mixed, but most expressing thoughts along the lines of: "Newcastle, WTF?"
