James Perch - warra shite name. Hardly likely to inspire fear in the opposition. Perchinho/Perchkamp ftw.

God I wish we had one of Tiote/Cabaye back. Just a little bit of reassurance in the middle.

A poor, angry, dish washer?

Abso-fucking-lutely. Happens far too often for my liking an'all. Like a goal somehow compensates for wrecklessness.

Options from the bench at least. Disappointed that HBA isn't starting but very pleased that useless cunt Strolla is dropped.

What a crap set of results for us today.

Jesus.

Fuck off Norwich. Twats with your shitty goal music.

Shola's going to be starting on Sunday, isn't he?

I wonder if being out of the side for so long has had a detrimental effect on HBA so far. He's too eager to make himself undroppable and thus seeks to do things on his own. That said, I'm sure he's going to look twice the player when he's actually got players with some fucking mobility ahead of him.

Best looks far better with a competent striker to play alongside. How fucking bent is that Dowd. Disgusting. One of those 'look at me refs' if ever there was one. Never just gets on with quietly officiating a game - always playing up to the cameras and crowd, the fat fucking prick.

We're due one tbf. When was the last, Swansea? So long as that cuntbucket Pedersen doesn't play we stand a fair chance of getting something. That twat always seems to play well against us.

Good player. Certainly needs more opportunities. A better prospect on the wing rather than left back at the moment though.

Absolutely right. Was a good player for us in the Championship and played through the shit after his Dad died an'all. Past it now and certainly not up to the mark for where we hope to be, but wish him all the best wherever he goes.

How much did Onouha go for in the end? Surely for the price we'd be paying to get this chap he would have been better value?

Perhaps Dekka's preparing one as we speak?

Surely buying this guy for £2.5m and flogging Perch for, say £1m is good business?

Yep. Especially considering they'll likely be playing Wigan next year anyway.

Wasn't Lee Hughes also the guy who killed a child after drink-driving? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Pardew's done a great job so far. Just goes to show how much a little bit of success can raise expectations. I'm fucking delighted where we are and, whilst we'll have frustrating games like Fulham and Brighton, it wasn't so long ago that we were playing in the Championship. We've come a long way in a short time and Pardew's played a key role in that transition. He deserves time.

The fans that paid their hard earned to see that bollocks ought to be refunded tbh. Shocking performance, shocking tactics and fucking Shola.

What a shitbag of a striker.

What a farce of a match.

What a great shame. Just goes to show how reliant we are on Ba.
