For once, I'm pleased HBA isn't playing.

Pardew & Carver need to steam onto the pitch at half time and fucking rollock Halsey here.

That's a really good save. Gouffran the only one looking up for this.

At least he's not an untested kid.

Carver's just roasted Halsey there.

My sentiments exactly.

That challenge is absolutely criminal.

Yep - horrific.

Fuck off Alan Smith you rancid Brummie cunt. Excusing that.

Has to be.

As nice as it would be, there's no way they'll lose this today. Fletcher to score in a Sunderland win. C'Mon Norwich though!!

Debuchy could be the difference today. His attacking ability could really worry them. They didn't have to give last years RB a second thought in terms of breakaway play.

Seriously debating lumping very heavily on >2.5 goals, possibly over 3.5 in our game which is 3/1. Just fancy both teams to go for it second half like a couple of old boxers.

My E/W pick got done by a 100/1 shot with a rocket up it's arse. Bastards.

If the Stoke game was his debut (and the majority hadn't seen what he was capable of............) we'd be absolutely delighted thinking we'd signed a massive player with the ability to change our play completely. As he got used to the league. He's had a handful of games, most of which he's excelled in, and expectation levels go up. He's going to have the odd off game and play a dozen shitty passes at times. Give a shit.

Thanks for posting that Palnese. Really interesting. I wouldn't wanna be a Mackem fan with those fixtures. Proper squeaky bum time. Though, isn't MoN's record against the bigger clubs pretty decent? They need a win and rapidly. If they get turned over by Norwich, their next 6 look very tough. Also, Reading look fucked and Villa's aren't easy. Still think QPR will survive.

What did he say? I imagine Lerner doesn't give a fuck. Basically said QPR have more quality and a better squad depth citing his naming of 5 defenders on the bench as a reason. This from the bloke that spanked £10m+ on Adam Johnson.

He's having a calculated dig at the board there with those quotes. Dangerous game given the dollar he's blown already. Teddy's will be out of the pram soon between him and Lerner.

His movement has completely changed the dimension of our attacking play. That's a huge reason to appreciate what he's brought to the side, away from the goals:games ratio. He brings an intelligence of movement that isn't always easy to find.

Wonder how the play in front of crowds? Surely they'll be fucked playing on proper turf? If I was the Pardmeister General, I'd be growing the grass this week.

In full agreement with the positively geared salty snack here.

At least we can all watch the "Big Game" now. Can't wait to see Gareth.

Saylor? WTF?

That Red Bull dude hit the ground quicker.

Shola?? How do you manage to handball it off the fucking ground?
