Fulfilled.

No it doesn't, it doesn't at all. It does. It's been ineffective.

Of course it's an unbelievable statement. But the fact it's being made - and by more than one person - tells you just about everything you need to know about Hatem's run in the side.

Same.

Ah, right.

They'll control the game if we don't get Tiote back.

We know that Santon can play football and Raylor can't. Well yes, which makes Pardew's hesitancy to start him quite inexplicable, doesn't it? Never said it didn't. The Raylor v Santon debate is inescapable; Pardew has repeatedly got it wrong.

Kadar playing in his natural position and having the extra height would've helped, though. Depends if we can use it or not. Neither Hughton in the Championship nor Pardew in the Prem want him anywhere near. It probably isn't a coincidence.

We know that Santon can play football and Raylor can't.

We don't really know if Kadar is better than Perch, we'd just like to think so. Smith came on in injury time. He's irrelevant.

Seek help.

Which youngsters would you have played?

It's stupid , ben arfa plays on the wing CL OL OM FRENCH TEAM and he was a good protection fullback it is not colo but he was better obertan in protection Then why did you attempt to cultivate an argument with me every single time I said he shouldn't be up front? Because ben arfa is very good in 10 (4-4-1-1)but pardew not plays that formation Ben arfa isnt' 9 (for kick and rush ) In other words, you just wanted an excuse to write more rubbish. No reason not to play him on the wing, as you've just said. I says ben arfa is good 10 and 7 11 but if 10 he have more influence nufc isn't real or man u kick and rush team ben arfa on the wing is a solution (but with tiote ben arfa plays in 10) What are you talking about?

Well it was abit unlucky that Williamson got injured (was it after the window closed?) but yeah, to an extent. Oh, and for him actually buying Perch! Nope. Take that.

Yep, posted something similar on Twitter before. We owe him an apology, though. #nixon

Pardew hates ben arfa that's reality why a player it's verygood vs city good vs man u and plays 45 mn chealsea not good but not bad why not play one mn vs norwich Who?

He's not. He's just crap.

Poor man's Routledge.

That's the thing, though. Once again Ba looks a different player with a striker alongside him. Got to get him on the wing instead of Obertan. He won't do it.

All out attack, can't wait.

Santon and Perch will start. Beyond that we don't have a clue.

As much as I didn't like him too much as a player - especially during that season - Nolan looked like a leader from his very first game - Sunderland at home. I remember him talking to the other players collectively and organising a group huddle before kick-off.
