Ideal scenario is that he plays against England, tears us a new one and Pardew is one of the 'pundits' in the studio. The presenter hammers him for letting Ben Arfa go. If only.

It's nice to have Derek back on the forum.

Imagine backing Bruce over Ben Arfa, man. People are dangerous.

Made of cheese.

He hasn't played since being recalled from Crawley, has he? Makes sense to give him a run out really. You'd like to think we are actively looking for a decent emergency loan option, as well.

It was bad and I hate to see any of our players doing it but the way some people are going on it's as if he blatantly dived in the box for a pen. The Stoke lad was being a right prick and gave him a completely unnecessary shoulder to the dial.

I can only really do Wednesdays, maybe Tuesdays and would need a lift. Good idea though.

Arnautovic (sp) should've been off for his topknot alone. Horrible bloke.

I thought he should have been on in the second half, like. I'd like to see him given something resembling a run in the side and see what he offers.

Satisfying to see that prick Collins get a red.

West Ham's defending, deary me.

CarrLOL.

Williamson got man of the Match for Wolves today and was praised to the hilt by the Sky commentators. So what, man? He's absolutely bobbins and everyone but you knows it.

Class. Top flight, reasonably big top flight team in Trabzonspor as well, absolutely mental.

It's the thought that counts.

The day he leaves permanently.

I said I'd carry him to his next club a couple of years back and my offer still stands. Useless, moronic bastard.

Spot on. Ignoring our recruitment policy, this was a disgrace in terms of refereeing performances.

Agree with this. I was one of the most anti-Steve McClaren on here before and since the appointment but I liked a lot of what I saw today. The high positions of the fullbacks were great in the first half, the narrowing of Sissoko & Gini's roles and the set up of Perez/Mitro. We were incredibly unlucky today. That pen was their first attack and we were in total control. Like 100% in control of the game. Feel a bit for him.

The one positive from today. Thank god he's out the team for at least one match.

Yup. Oh aye, I agree with all that but we were harshly done by today.

We played better football against this rabble today than we've played in years. A yellow card to Colo and we get at least a point imo, regardless of whether it's a pen or not. Furious with the ref.

That's one of the worst red card decisions I've ever seen. The keeper had the ball before he'd even knocked him off the ball. Unbelievable.

Glorious. However, they would be wise to remember that they should be careful what they wish for.
