Van Persie's attitude has been questioned a few times as well. If Balotelli applies himself correctly and is allowed to the focal point of a team, which I think he will be at Milan and with the national team then he'll have a great career.

I think it's close between the two, Van Persie seemed to be constantly injured at that time and Balotelli has done much more at international level at 22.

Sack her off Yohan. Get in with Cheryl, that Asian lass from Eastenders, her from Emmerdale, the rough bird that was married to Tim Healy or my mam.

Has he got a broken face?

Hopefully Liverpool are involved.

Surely the winners will just have a semi competent keeper in comparison to the horror shows on show.

That Gouffran song seems to require too much singing ability for my liking.

His brother Yaye plays for Team Northumbria

Always looking to stop the cross which makes a change from Mr Simpson

Well done Jimmy, well done.

like a boss.

dat step-over

Did well to even try and play on I think if they'd have been playing a different team he wouldn't have, looked awful.

Another great bit of local journalism, Pardew doesn't mention anything about Graham not being on our level. He just mentions that he's not on the same level as Remy, which is the type of player we'll be looking for in the summer.

In the picture that Sammy tweeted yesterday of the canteen it looks like Ben Arfa, all be it the back of his head.

They still have another week for lower league loans.

being martian, which side was he on ? Ref

15 goals from our forwards in 14 games, I'd take that if HBA, Cabaye etc chip in with a couple each.

Off to our friends Lille, hopefully. Ahh the feeder club.
