One of two scenarios will play out: 1) Someone activates the release clause most likely in the summer, and he performs well for his new club 2) Ashley defies the odds and give Ba a new lucrative 5 year contract (w/o low basic wage and high performance based add-ons) and his knees explodes after a few weeks, rendering him a mere shadow of the player we have seen this season and turns into our new Alan Smith.

Aye. Doesn't help at all If it results in Pardew dropping him I don´t care. Harsh, sure, as I think it´s more of a criticism towards Pardew than Obertan. People are frustrated, and this is really the only way fans can get their feelings across to Pardew.

Ronaldo is fucking clueless.

The best goal you will ever see.......................

Michael Duberry scoring for Oxford. There is a blast from the modern past.

Great line-up. Let´s hammer these bastards!

And just how would they do that if 1) He actually has a clause, 2) Someone activates the clause and 3) Ba accepts contract offer from bidding club?

Key word is reigning Haris. Keep up.

Doesn't he get a huge "loyalty" bonus if he sees out his contract?

Best reactions you can read on the forum

Corset and a hint of camel toe. Nice!

piersmorgan Piers Morgan @ @Joey7Barton as much contact as Gervinho made with you when you got him sent off?

No way

I'm not sure Jonas was the worst player on the pitch, I think we had quite a few fighting it out for that. Im usually backing Jonas when he gets flak for "no end product" etc. but today he just didn´t do one thing right, I don´t even think he worked that hard which is usually his saving grace if the rest of his game is not up to his standard for whatever reason. Even Obertan had a few decent touches and occasionally his passes hit a team mate. Raylor got a few tackles in and and assist. Ba had a shot cleared of the line after a superb chance and battled hard with Skrtel & Agger the whole game. Those were the closest "contenders" today I thought, and they weren´t even close.

shut up man. Too do something he is dependent on 1) receiving the ball, 2) have team mates who don´t lose the ball the second he gives it to them to be able to build up any play He closed players down when they had the ball in his area, and opened himself up to receive the ball but rarely got it when we were in possession.

Worst player on the pitch was Jonas by a good margin. No pace, no energy. Can´t remember he got past a Liverpool player once, more misplaced passes than completed passes (even counting 2-3 feet passes), no crosses and a few unnecessary fouls right outside our area. Looks like he is in dire need of an extended resting period. Obertan was his usual self. Other than that I can´t complain too much about individual performances, as I think the tactics were probably much to blame. We never deserved any points today.

Without his pace I imagine he will be pretty useless in the PL. Will be interesting to see him in an Arsenal shirt again no matter how good/crap he is though. Still think Wenger would be better off using Walcott in a striker role. There is enough AMC/R/L/none defined players in their squad to cover the flanks temporarily.

ouch

Any of Bellamy, Kuyt & Carroll has the ability to hurt us. Funny this, but not very encouraging anyway.

........as long as he receives the ball along the ground. Some of his touches when he tries to control Cabayes long passes have been abysmal,

Not sure if people outside of Norway can watch this, but try anyway. Fast forward to 20:53 to see the "Diouf-man" http://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/england/premierleague/gjenopplev-det-beste-fra-fc-footballhoesten-3667609.html

A pleasent reminder of the Souness days when Shola played as a left winger. Fond memories.
