Udinese Celta Vigo Charlton and Stoke Lille

Yeah, it's all gone quiet on Obertan, can't say I'm in the least bothered. When Marveaux makes his recovery I think Pardew will be hard pressed to play Obertan, especially with Ferguson becoming a more viable winger alternative than Obertan Oh, I'm not bothered/concerned by Obertan's absence - don't get me wrong. It's just interesting to see how Pardew is handling it, I suppose. IIRC Obertan first left the first-team picture due to injury, but Pardew tried to re-integrate him thereafter. I think then Pardew left him out for poor performances, and since then we've heard of niggling injuries here and there, but I'm not sure. My hope is that, behind closed doors, Pardew has been very stern with him and told him to stop being a passenger on the pitch and to develop some confidence if he wants to be a part-of first team football - which is the official reason Gabriel gave for why he came here. To get minutes. You'd think it'd be sufficient motivation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Im sure Ryder tweeted something yesterday about being back for Stoke? Unless I dreamed it.

What are people going for today then?

We really need a one of the Spurs/Arsenal games to go our way this weekend to keep the dream alive. If it happens, Ill start believing.

He looks as though he's loving it at the moment. I thought for sure he was a goner next season maybe 6 weeks ago, now the thought of us not having him next season doesnt bare thinking about.

2 Points off 4th with six games to go

Do they compliment though? They have the potential to be a Cole/Yorke type partnership. That worked because Yorke was happy with his role as the 2nd striker. Not sure Demba will be so happy in the role? Why not? Since he has played there we have won 4 in a row. What wont he be happy about? Personal glory Don't forget his contract is apparently heavily incentivised Really??Where did you hear that from. I'm fairly certain that Dekka said recently they dont do idividual incentives and only do team ones. I'm happy to be proved wrong of course.

yip, im out. to obvious now

Imagine Cattermole being linked with the big boys for £20-25 million!!! In fact he is English, so by rights, he'll be heading off to Chelski or Manure for £40mil :lol: Silly fucking Mackem.

He really fought his way out of that Centre Circle against Everton. His first bad game this season. It makes me sick that you compare this utter abomination of a footballer on par with Tiote. And Hell, Im one of those that would sell Tiote for the right money. But s***, putting this Moron in his level is just insulting. He's better than Tiote, in my opinion marra. You may think differently. Then you may as well of just kissed any respect you thought you'd get on this forum goodbye.

He's shit mate.

This has potential to be an awful game. They have 2 days rest we have 3. I see a beautiful crappy 1-0 win

:lol: Howay man, ive been in three threads and he's winding me up already. Cattermole over Tiote ffs.

Not negative, I accept that he's a top player and bigger clubs are ultimately going to be in for him. I'm not sure I can accept seeing Catermole on our Forum everyday. His face disgusts me. He's better than Tiote like.

Body language experts would tell u exactly the same He's p*ssed off at the moment, form being one, lack of goals the other and Cisse the third Hope he notches on Monday, big game for him! Oh do fuck off please mate.

You're going to be more upset than most if we lose (or draw)..! Only put a few quid on each Im not in any financial position to be betting lots, I just put the odd bet on here and there to make sporting occasions more interesting. Saying that, I tend not to bet on us, because when we do lose it makes it twice as bad. So you put two bets on, both icluding us?

Swansea have the second best defensive record in the Premiership. We'd be more than happy with a 1-0. Yeah, just had a look, they seem to average about 2 goals a game at home. But we could be a bit fragile at the back especially if Simpson is playing at centre half. And we are scoring goals. Tempting. Wait for the line-ups then? Just went for Cisse first goal instead

What do people think of +2.5 goals in out game today @ 19/20?
