£10 on Everton & Man Utd returned £23.

The first time I can recall Pardew actively doing a 'harry'. Very unlike him.

I still think there'll be a lot to come from the lad. You don't graduate from the Ajax academy, moving onto playing numerous times for them if you're not a proper footballer. He'll end up being a real asset, I'm convinced of it.

What you would say about Ince Jnr is that he's shown he's prepared to leave a 'big club' in order to learn/ply his trade. He's probabaly one of the few youngsters in the game who absoluely does not need to be playing for the money. He'll be driven by his ability to play regular football imho. If he continues to develop the way he has been, he'll be a top 4 player before long anyway. I don't think he'd be too concerned about having it now this instant.

Never seems to do especially well vs Diame tbh. Wouldn't want him getting drawn into a tackling match with Noble and Diame - think he'll do great in the next Premiership game after this though. I'd like to get our midfield to prioritise moving and releasing the ball quickly to make the West Ham cloggers make all the running. Fair point. I'd forgotten about Diame tbh. Ball retention and sensible use of the ball when we have it will be massive in this game (pointing out the obvious.......). If we're clever, we could really tire the likes of Nolan and Noble, with intelligent use of the ball. Granted, this isn't something which lends itself to a side with Williamson in. If ever there was a game to give HBA a free role, this would be it. Nolan won't track back and Noble, though having a very good season, isn't capable of marking a HBA type player out of the game with that responsibility falling to Diame, leaving Cabaye free to damage them. In theory, we should have the beating of them, but I don't fancy this at all. Behind the Mackems and Liverpool, the Irons are the one team I'd love to turn over this year. Can't stand Allardyce.

Lovely strike. Controlled.

I'd be much more confident with Tiote playing. He'd mitigate the amount of breakaways/late bursts in to the box from the likes of Nolan and Noble. Fear that his absense gives them much more potential to charge forward at will. For that reason, I'd opt for the (slightly) more experienced Anita than Bigi.

Don't fancy this at all. They can be got at but our lack of movement plays right into their hands.

That's good news. Hopefully, he'll step into the side in Perch's absence.

Yes - apparently pulled out of the squad due to a late injury. Perhaps in the warm-up?

He deserves credit for applying himself when he'd been dropped from the squad a couple of hours earlier. I'm one of his harshest critics but I wouldn't say he let anyone down yesterday. That said, replacing him with someone comfortable with the ball would improve our balance, solidity and attacking threat completely.

So pathetic that it's probably earned us the point. 5 more minutes and they win the game. Don't mind after we go a man down but in the first half? Fuck that, not even Stoke are that bad. Can't say I noticed it in the first half but it was certainly justified in the second half.

This. It's like watching chess at times. Another argument for 2 up top with one of them working the channels.

I disagree, if he had commanded his box better Suarez wouldn't have scored. . He's got about 2 seconds to react and Colo was covering him. You funny.

Not bothered. We're not a dirty side. Take Tiote out of the stats and we'd probably be vying for a Champions League spot.

Struggles with the lack of movement around him at times.

You know what, who gives a shit? He's a fucking Argentinian centre half. Of course he's going to have that side to him. He's the best centre back in our recent history. He's been a bit rash. He's absolutely above criticism. He owes us nothing. The only mistake he made today was not snapping the cunt and doing football a favour. Tend to agree. Not having a go at you in that rant btw.

I think he deserves credit for the side he put out and his intended game plan but there's no question they started the game better. Also, that was some occasion, and we've nicked a point out of it when, truth be told, they've dominated. I still don't see how you can accomodate Ba and Cisse is a 4-3-3 but I think he deserves credit for continuing to show faith in them.

No appeal then.

If only.

Fuck off Chris Coleman. Coloccini is 100 times the player you were you fucking sheep shagging cunt.
