That looks like a punishment for Forster and Willo.

Doesn't help a winger like Routledge that none of our strikers (bar Best) like to play on the shoulder, like.

Simpson's technique is atrocious. He's one of those players who generally does the defensive basics without asserting himself. If the MOTD analysis bunch ever get their hands on him they'll have a fucking field day. Under pressure he's awful, absolutely awful.

Thank Christ we sold Carroll.

The bloke can't run or control a football. It's nothing short of a joke that he's still on the payroll.

The YT vid of the first goal is rather amusing.

Stop this counterproductive nonsense for a start.

Ryan Taylor is as much a defender as Mike Williamson is a winger. Raylor's a decent set-piece taker. Every other aspect of his game is crap, absolutely crap.

How about Raylor? Doesn't get worse than Simpson in defense, but Raylor is much better in attack. Raylor manages to be far worse defensively. How? I don't know.

They'll have already been informed that if the correct bid comes in they'll be sold. Don't see what use handing in a piece of paper will do, other than appeasing the Nees. So that neesy can have the opportunity to slag them off for being disloyal and greedy and being liers. When have I said Barton has lied? Its f***ing you saying that people are lying on here, w*****. Come on, man. You're better than resorting to that.

Simpson needs replacing at some point, like. Doubt it'll happen.

Sounds like a drunk employee complaining to colleague at 3AM. "I could tell you things that would bring the entire castle down, but I won't because......" Pathetic. Ironically it is he who looks like a coward by coming out with such garbage.

Frig off, I can barely stand that lot.

I didn't want him to get injured, just don't think it's a shame. Arsenal and England can suck my left nut.

Ameobi and Ba.

In other words, not a shame at all.

Promised to 'run his bollocks off' for Pardew. Obviously the sentiment doesn't apply to pre-season friendlies.

Hope to see him at home against some of the lesser sides, when frankly Jonas is usually as much use as a traffic cone on casters.

Last time I defend Mike Williamson to my mates, like. He could have learnt a thing or two from Andy O'Brien today. Pathetic.

Sounds like another game in which the 'big players' couldn't have given two shits.

Vuckic is actually pushing for a starting place.

Taylor and Krul pretty safe for Arsenal then.

Taylor for the no.9 shirt.

Simpson is crap.

Simpson getting raped by Championship players? Doesn't sound like him at all.
