this is the only comment i can find that comes close to "it's ok if we're winning" and it doesn't even say that what're people on about man? Did you not notice these? What is the point in getting your knickers in a twist about it for though? Seriously, what good will it do? You cant do anything about it, its going to be there until he goes, so why keep moaning on about it? All you will do is stress yourself out and ultimatley have a heart attack and die. Im not going to cry over it. Its there, it aint going away, get over it.

Has to be the same team, keep playing the way we have, keep the ball on the ground and we should get a positive result. I'm going to be greedy and think we could sneak this 2-1 to us.

If things keep going well on the pitch then we will continue to get decent crowds. Ultimatley, its the football that people pay to watch.

Makes the boards a much more enjoyable place to visit.

Very true. One time, he made some space and should have played it to Simpson to whip it in, but he turned back and tried to take on two blokes. Think he really wanted to impress today, sure he wont be as eager as time goes on. Noticed he was down the tunnel pretty sharp after the final whistle?? ? Yep, him and Marveaux. I notice Pardew says he was going to bring Lovenkrands on instead btw. Yeah, can only assume he was trying to keep Loven spirits up after Tuesday. Not sure for the burst down the tunnel from HBA. Wouldnt suprise me if he was a little annoyed that he didnt score. Maybe im looking into it too much. Probvs just wanted a sandwich.

It really doesnt make any difference to anything. I wouldnt be saying this however if we were third bottom.

Steve Keen complaining because if they hadnt got a man sent off and err conceded the 2nd goal and errr been more ruthless in our box, they may have got a point :lol: On a side note, he looks like a murderer.

Really didnt bother me when I walked out. I care what happens on the pitch, fuck it.

We are playing so well, I dunno, I really have no clue (despite prediciting the last two score lines, true story). Hmmm, lets keep it unbeaten going into two home games. Another 1-1.

Without wanting to be ione of the 'told you so' brigade, i always felt we would play better football without him. He was useless without his goals.

Dont normally do this, but im home early for a change and really enjoyed every minute. Krul - Solid without much to do. Great catch that lead to a counter at end of 1st half 7 Simpson - Had a decent game actually, some great help for Oba. Doesnt take a genuis to work out his weakest moment 7 Raylor - Similar to above. Decent game, couple of great clearnaces, solid overall, although him and simpson lead to a nervy end to 1st half - 7 Colo - Brilliant again. Him and Taylor look like rocks. Great tackle on J Holiett in forst half - 8 Taylor - See above. Great partnership, so far so good - 8 Jonas - Seemed to thrive on some decent players round him, eased the pressure on him. Didnt do a lot wrong - 7 Obertan - Best game for us. He had them all over cutting inside, looked a real threat - 8 Turning p Cabaye - Not as active as Villa, but came alive a bit more 2nd half. Him and Check are going to be fantasic - 7.5 Cheik - Back to his best imo. Getting better every game - 8 Best - Worked his socks off, just didnt have his finishing boots on. Should have had 2 at least 1 - 7.5 Ba - MOM for me. Turning point was 10 minutes in when Samba was on his back and he shrugged him off and kept the move going. He could potentially be great for us. Hope he keeps it up, well done lad. HBA - Showed flashes, kept it simple when he first came on, couple of bursts, then tried a little too hard, need to see why he went down in box? - 7 Marveaux - You know what you get with him, going to be a player. Give him a 7 too. Cant remember of anyone else came on??

Im excited as anyone to see him, but we really have to be patient with him. Not saying anyone in particular, but really need to give him a good 10-15 full games to see him in full flow i'd imagine. Saying that, its going to be great seeing him come on today.

There is so much positivity around the place, it feels un-natural. Nailed on blackburn win. Nah, fuck em, sticking with what i went with at the start of the week 3-1 us. Howay The Lads!!!!! Cant wait to get up there today.

You clearly havent read the Pardew thread lately. It would actually have nothing to do with him, it would be Carr, Dekka and Ashley that would take the credit.

There is some mental shit being said in here tonight. Pardew doesnt choose the players, he is forced to try and play good football by Dekka and Mike, he sits in front of a camera however thats easy anyway. Basically, we dont need a manager.

Shall we not give it another 3-4 months to see how we get on? Its still very earl days.

Eh?? We are unbeaten this season. We have conceded two league goals. We have just played our best game of the season at Villa. Won two cup matches with the 2nd string. Nah, cant see it being that high??

Just a home draw, thats all i ask.

Real test to see how far we have come and how far we can go. When we played them last year, we had two home games on this bounce, these and Fulham if i remember correctly? And we ended up taking one point. They will have a bit of confidence after last week, but saying that, our's should be through the roof. Think we'll do them 3-0 or 3-1

on soccer saturday.

Mental.
