  1. Don't worry, he'll be back if/when Blackburn and/or Fulham beat us.
  2. Sadly, the fact that we're fourth at the moment means very little because there's a metric fuckton of teams concentrated right about where we are. It's a nice symbolic position to be in though.
  3. Nailed on loss and "what happened at Newcastle wasn't my fault" speech from Fat Sam.
  4. Should be singled out for arguably being the best player in an outstanding defensive line today. I didn't think it was possible but he's raised his game to the Premiership.
  5. What a game. One genuine super save coupled with Unbelievable! aerial ability and control of his area. The first time I've been genuinely impressed with him this season.q
  6. The Korean commentators are normally completely clueless (still think Ben Arfa's first name is Ben and last name is Arfa ) but they made two very good points today. One, we have absolutely no fear of giving Arsenal corners or free kicks that are reasonably far from the box because we know that their midgets have no chance whatsoever of winning a header against us. We've become staggeringly good at defending against set pieces: Carroll, Williamson, and even Colo are winning everything in the air. Two, with Carroll's goal today we are now the leading scorer from set pieces in the entire Premier League. Carroll's obviously a monster in the box, and we've got enough big bodies alongside him (Willo, Shola, Colo) to completely saturate the opposing defence. Couple that with Barton's delivery and Nolan digging for second balls and we must be utterly terrifying to defend against from corners. After our loss to Stoke I mentioned that we needed to figure out what our strength was and play in a way that maximized it, and obviously Hughton has figured it out. When we were relegated we were one of the smallest, softest, teams in the league. But slowly we've assembled a squad full of big monsters that will give any team a hard time. So Howay Newcastle, the... new Stoke City? :colo:
  7. :fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap::fwap: I have more good memories from this season than the rest of my time supporting this club combined. Life contract for Hughton.
  8. Arsenal resorting to long ball against Newcastle, who would've thought
  9. Jesus I can barely watch this. We're going to concede to the white Ameobi, nailed on.
  10. Thank you Fabianski Thank you Mr. Wenger for refusing to buy a keeper.
  11. shocking, shocking challenge from Clichy. Perhaps Wenger has decided that he'd like to get in on the leg-breaking?
  12. Your ability to pick an argument out of thin air never ceases to amaze me.
  13. I see both Ki and Cha started in a 9-0 Celtic win today. Good day for the Koreans all around.
  14. What a goal that is from Park, looks an even better finish upon repeated viewing. @ McCarthy shouting "FUCK OFF, JAMMY CUNTS!"
  15. Park scores ...but that means Man U are ahead...
  16. Wolves are playing Man Utd off the pitch here
  17. Blackpool have got to stop picking up these random ridiculous points
