started well in the 2nd!

you know its coming dont you!/?

by saying he's playing well?

Easily better performance than the villa one for me. we have been excellent. and the fact its away it goodison. Please god let us keep it up in the second half.

FUCKING HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im smiling watching us play here, some fucking excellent stuff.

Tiote is just sitting the spreading it about lovley. he alone will make a massive difference compared to smith

playing really well. keep it up lads.

So we've moved on from the knee-jerk reactionary opinion of "useless" in the OP to the person who should make way for the new signing? ive said for a year Nolan shouldnt be in the team, so there is no knee jerk from my end.

at the end of the day, someone has to make way for Ben Arfa. Nolan imo is the only option.

but the last time we were in the PL we were relegated, so its not that much of a reality check to be fair.

Me too, it feels like the start of the season. the whole day man, beers at 12 while watching rooney get slaughtered only to pop up with the winner, few more beers, few more beers, up to the ground, new signings, hopefully a good win. arrgghhh i cant wait. then a chinese x factor

cant wait for tomorrow. ive got the old excitment back. .... for now

I Why is it a tricky game? Its really not. If we play like we did against Villa and Wolves (from what i saw), in fact, if we play like we did against blackpool last year, we should breeze this game. Dont be fooled by Blackpool beating Wigan. 2 or 3 nil for me.

all else aside this is my fear with Ashley, i have the nagging suspicion that he's currently 'succeeding' (used very loosely) by good luck rather than good strategic management and the wheels will come spinning off again before too long a good season from Carroll / Enrique for example, they'll be sold to the first good bid that comes in imo, might be wrong and i'm aware my opinion is skewed by hating the guy so much It depends on what you class as a good bid though. If a top 6/7 club came in with say £15 million for Carroll for example, are we really in a position to turn it down and would Carroll himself not want to make the move. Its not just a case of he'll accept if we get a good bid.

TBF apparently Smith is told not to go over the half way line by Hughton, so for him to be making any sort of run into the box is a surprise. How are you allowed to be in the dressing room before a match? As i said in another thread, i spoke to Alan Smith's grandad last weekend. He told me this. Obviously we live in a world of wind up's and ITK's but i have no reason not to believe his grandfather. What? Didn't know that. If true, Hughton goes (slightly) down in my estimation. Telling a player not to go over the half way line. jesus.

That's the long and short of it. nice problem to have. i would hate to see Jonas or routledge dropped. Nolan really is the only option in my eyes. not sure how CH see's it though.

eh????

fucking sevilla.

Ive went, makems/seville/toon. £15 returns £34 ish

That's Abdul Keita.
