Simpson is "touch and go" to play against Ipswich. So, based on how Hughton has reported injuries this year, looks like he's unlikely, but might be back for the next game. Maybe he'll make the bench.

Hopefully it's not too bad. Doesn't look like he'll be playing tomorrow though:

And on Simpson, Hughton says: “He’s jarred his ankle. How bad, I don’t know, but I’m hoping it’s not too bad.”

Random, but just thought this was funny:

Newcastle defender Steven Taylor has explained why he celebrated his goal in the 3-1 victory over Plymouth on Saturday with an X-Factor style arm-cross. Apparently it's all down to his unnaturally white teeth. "I've been getting stick about my teeth from the lads," he said. "They've been calling me Simon Cowell, telling me I've had them chemically whitened. So I gave it the X-Factor sign when I scored. I was going to hitch the shorts up to my nipples. I thought that would have been a good celebration, but the fans would have thought, 'What the hell's he doing?' Honestly, I've not had them whitened. It's just Colgate."

Even though Arsenal are perceived to be a pretty passing side

 

They actually amassed less passes than Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Tottenham.

 

Can anyone give an "explanation" of why so ?

 

 

Because they've had a relatively poor start to the season?

 

And they're still 5th on the passing stakes.

Because they've played one less game.

Anyone know Simpson's status? This could be big going forward.

Lee Ryder:  He latched on to a long ball, took it on his chest and crashed it past Larrieu.

screamer

GET IN!

4-4-2 apparently, carroll and ranger up front.

Hughton is a managerial genius

Hughton for manager of the year! juuust a bit of kneejerk 

good subs actually, Barton has been awful, Loven clearly not totally match fit yet and wasted on the wing. Let's see if this can finally create some offense now

HT

I wonder what all the shouting with Lovenkrands is all about

Pity for Simpson, he's looked solid since joining.

 

This would keep Ryan Taylor away from midfield though, on the plus side.

does it sound like a long term injury? or just maybe a couple of days hopefully?

Simpson sounds f***ed.

fuck

cardiff down 1-0 to QPR

obvious, but we need to put this game away early, can't let Plymouth think they can hang around.

how was the goal scored? off a free kick?

anyone know the LEGAL radio situation?

for the American fans, Jozy is finally starting today. hope he can stay up there.

has there been a foul called this entire half? impressive.

no wonder the server is a bit slow

No TV (no one out watching at pubs and lots of int'l fans have no other way of following for free) + very few away fan ticket allocations, everyone's on the board following along.

Inzaghi goal, massively against the run of play after OM dominated the half. Ugh.

Incredible atmosphere at Marseille since they tied Milan. The call and response was downright spooky. Marseille absolutely shredding Milan right now, Flamini should have had a red for a very very nasty two footed studs up challenge just now, got away with it.

I love the pressure we're putting on them. Not sitting back at all, Cardiff panicking with every pass just trying not to give it away.
