Was absolutely brilliant today, good to see a defensive midfielder who doesn't have to go to ground to tackle.

Typically the best kind.

Another great thing about Tiote's performance today, not carded.

This result makes the Blackpool result so much more frustrating like.

Pretend we beat Blackpool last week and lost to Everton today and get on with life.

Thank God. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

They've been setting us up for that all day. Would have been so typical.

Makes up for last week. Tremendous.

I'm going to cry in a second ...

Can't take this like. Awful listening on the radio.

Tried it once, and nevere again. Horrible, horrible feeling. Was a jumpy nervous wreck the rest of the day.

A Jonas goal would be nice. Catch them on the break sort of thing.

It's not fair how poor Smith is. Ideally we should be bringing him on for Nolan right now, but you can't even just trust him to be sensible. He'll just go and give away a penalty or something mental. We need Guthrie back badly.

I'm not watching this, but out of interest did Nolan's obesity prevent him from moving onto that chance quicker because I wouldn't be suprised if so.

 

Piss off man.

Carrying a bit of extra weight too Dave?

I hate it when the refs do this it's just so hard to take. We need to ensure that it doesn't cost us points. So frustrating.

Spurs learning about the effects of the Champions League I see. Has Henry broken anyone in that game yet?

West Brom taking the micky today. We are going to need all three points to make up for last week.

R Taylor on now IMHO.

 

He'll be playing next so give him some game time.

Colo at Rb and Sol at CB. We're going to need height against those brawlers next week.

Mike is having a bad day.

 

I've been impressed with Nolan today, tbh. He's been industrious.

 

I don't think people realise how angry I'll be if Aiyegbeni scores against us.

Believe me I do.

So impressed with Tiote, I had expectations of a hard tackling defensive midfielder but on the top of that he seems to have vision and passing too.

Ivory Coast played him in a three man midfield, where he was one of the two getting forward, and he looked good. Didn't really notice how good his passing was then, but he was good on the ball and got up and down the pitch very well.

Yakubu coming on

As if today wasn't going well enough! A quite sensational day could well be rounded off by a well timed flying drop kick nicely placed on Yakubu's jaw in the 90th minute with the game won. Hopefully by Smith who has come on, getting him a red card to further entrench him on the bench.

Tiote in for Smith is like we've gone from 10 men to having 12. Absolutely eats up the ground as though he's on a 5-a-side pitch.

 

aye we are all having an HBA fuelled w*** and we are forgettign how class Tiote has been.

Tiote's been getting major kudos from the very first page, and rightly so. It's a dream prem debut for both of them, and when you consider it's away to Everton? Pretty awesome.

Bye bye Jonas

 

I would probably bring him on around 60-70 for Nolan and push BA into the middle.

 

As would I. Seems like Hughton intends to play Barfa wide though.

Away from home, yes. Understandably so too.

We're never going to keep this lad.   :'(

If only the match could end now. Hopefully we can even score some more though!

What a potentially great day today could be. Tiote, Ben Arfa and Krul going on to have stormers and beginning a new youthful era at the club.

Let the drama begin ...

The Krul era is here. Excited but very nervous.

Has that c*** Merson said anything positive about us yet?

A lot of very positivs stuff from Merson. Almost as though they're setting us up.

Hate having all the play and not capitalizing 

I know we lost to Blackpool but this season is the best i've saw us on the ball for quite a few years.

I agree. Just hope we can score the goals. Bit of pressure on Carroll to keep scoring.
