I think that could work very well.

Don't you mean Ireland?

Sacked.

5 goals in 19 games, man. That's f***ing disgraceful. EDIT: Or 2 in 16. :lol:

At least they've figured out Coloccini isn't a RB.

The Yak has been fed. 1-2.

At this rate I reckon a team could survive with 29 points.

It's the type of statement you'd somewhat expect to get from a small local business with no legal representation. Laughable.

They're the worst of the worst, like.

Yep, apart from that part about Coloccini.

Fantastic if it's upheld.

I'd be very surprised if the midfield get 10 between them this season.

Or against a PL side - the penalty against Blackburn excluded.

True enough. There's nowhere near enough goals in the midfield for us to be playing a striker who doesn't get too many, which is one of the reasons I wanted Best up there instead of Ben Arfa to begin with. I'm sure Best will get one and he'll go on a run again, but we do need a new striker in January.

We currently have a manager who is not playing a skilful player because he’s not grafting enough. That's speculation. And again, I'm unhappy about it too, but there are more differences than similarities with the Robert v Souness situation.

Bit harsh comparing Pardew to Souness; as it is comparing Robert to Ben Arfa. Different scenarios.

Clever people don't always make clever footballers, and vice versa. Shola and Shearer support both ends of the argument.

A box-to-box player by definition has that ability. Of course, he's by far the best in the world in that role imo.

Yeah those c***s seem to pick sporting events and occurences to use as 'examples' quite frequently. Apparently the brutal KO of Larry Olubamiwo by John McDermott (Youtube it, seriously) in February ended up all over that site. John would probably be horrified.

Got to be said, I've yet to see Obertan legitimately contribute defensively. Ben Arfa's mere presence would surely help us to defend from the front, without taking into consideration his far greater attacking ability.

He's a box-to-box powerhouse. Superb player.

I think I'd describe Yaya Toure as being white before a deep-lying playmaker. The rest pretty much hit the centre of the board.

After a couple of shaky moments in the first half he had an excellent game on Saturday. Very encouraging.

Blast from the past. It's a ludicrous comment alright. I tend to think we'd not miss Tiote much against the smaller teams; Ba on the other hand is every bit as important to us as RVP is to Arsenal, if not more so.
