GM

Suits Ashley. Allows Tiote time to rest up in time for the transfer window.

Of course he'll be coming on. Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side.

Tiote in trouble again?

Well at least i can stop watching this turgid shite now.

Dunno like, the Referee definitely held up the yellow card thing...

Must've been some team talk at half-time!!!

Carroll will come on in the 2nd half to score a hat-trick.

The fact that we're forced to choose between Lovenkrands and Ranger every week makes me want to kill myself You're all talk and no action.

Shirt swapping already?

Well it has covered more of the pitch, as the ESPN stats will show at the end of the game.

Carrier bag mentioned again. Thrilling game.

Nicky Butt would be proud of Shola.

WTF was that from Ameobi?

Any savvy manager would do the same in his shoes.

ESPN is such an amateur outfit. They've got microphones down on the pitch sat right next to the press cameras. You can hear them shooting reels of film every five seconds or so. Getting a wee bit annoying now.

With matching handkerchiefs, presumably?

So is he definitely on the way out this summer? Or was that just Keegan speculating out of bitterness towards Ashley's regime?

and that's regardless of whether he plays, I suppose?

ESPN coverage is just so shit. Rebecca Howden included.

Carroll starts on the bench.

I suppose sitting in is the best way to prepare for sitting on a bench. Please someone tweet that to him. Done
