ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS

Jonas has been absolutely murdering Hibbert all game

Hitting a ridiculous amount of balls into the box, surely one of these has to fluke in eventually

Tiote really does have brilliant delivery. Is there anything this man can't do?

That was absolutely brilliant positioning from Nolan, just a shit finish.

Come on lads, plenty of time to do this.

We're fighting for that equalizer... Come on let's fluke it

Pardew's had his arm around Ferguson for what, a full half hour now?

So what's Steven Taylor's best position now? Winger?

He's only been letting Barton take them till now so the poor lad feels like he has something to do

Fuck it, Hibbert should be off there

A goal's coming here.. You can smell it

Taylor's getting rear-ended on that right side every single fucking time.

Where's the foul there? Saha was already on his way down when Colo's hands touched him

Shola with another one of those first touch's that are so bad, they're good

Don't think either team has been playing fluently enough to merit the description "in control." At the moment it's just two shit, depleted sides banging their heads against each other. There will be more goals in this. Possibly many more.

Best striker we have by a country mile, like it or not.

As long as we're being negative, can I be the first one to argue that he's just played our last match for us?

Routledge would be handy right now though. We don't know what went on there personally between Routledge/Pardew/other players etc. The decision is inexplicable enough that it makes me think that there was some other reason that we'll just never know about.

Pardew has done enough to make me trust his tactical decisions. He's being asked to put together a car with sticks and stones here though.

What other choices do we have? Well he's selected a winger for the bench. We could bring him on. Guthrie would be more suited to the right than Lovenkrands, n'all. Ferguson will definitely be involved at some point in this game I think

Man, we're so fucked I can't even put it in words

This is going to end 3-2. To whom I can't say.

What a delivery. Nothing you can do.

Given the state of both defenses we'll be seeing plenty of goals today.
