From Pards' recent interview. Can't say I agree with that myself, will usually play 4-4-2 I would guess so not many minutes for him. Can't see how you can justify players like Obertan and Lovenkrands playing out wide instead of HBA Exactly. Perhaps Pards would do well to watch that Everton game where HBA started wide left and tore them a new one. Wish he'd consider this - its obvious HBA hasn't looked even remotely up to scratch (bar one or two moments) so far. He needs time to adjust. What's more, we've got to put up with Oberwank for the foreseeable.

Same. Looked excellent in the game against Forest. Would be very interested to see how he does alongside Cabaye.

Fucking hell. Why all this cloak and adagger shit? If he's going to be out for 3 month or an even longer period, just bloody tell us.

Nicky fucking Butt, man. What an atrocious player. Will always remember that utterly pointless overhead kick clearance, in our own half, under no pressure, against some mediocre opposition, mind.

As much as I would love to get one over on these inbreds, I can't see it the way we're shaping up with injuries. They're a good side - hard working and know how to pass the ball about. 1 or 2 nil I reckon. Pardew needs his head examined if Santon doesn't play some part in this fixture.

Unfortunately. Can see them doing well in the cup this year.

Skirge and thomas - superb avatars chaps

Absolutely. The guy's not even being a chance to acclimatise even by way of sub appearances. Absolutely inexplicable why he's not being a fair crack of the whip. Its a fucking joke tbh.

Just out of interest, how many minutes has Santon played for us since he joined?

Jesus. He doesn't half like the cloggers ol'Pards.

Who else would you have played at CB though? There's no one, unless you count reserve/youth players. You're right unfortunately, there really is no other option atm. Was a risk not bringing in another CB in the summer.

The most irritating thing about this is that these twats were here for the taking.

The quicker we get shot of that fucktard Perch the better. Awful player.

Injury to Colo? What happened?

Surely we've got to see Santon - even if from the bench - this week.

From whats been said he's training but clearly isn't involved in much of the full contact training. Ligament injuries are a bugger though. That's what I thought. I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere that he was training. Oh well. Thank fuck Guthrie's in form atm.

Is Tiote actually training? Can't say I've seen many of the training pics lately.

Mum's cock.

Gonna be a shit final ffs.

Fair play to Palace, played very well. Man Yoo's lot were fucking shite.

Palace fans have been great to be fair. Sure I heard them singing a Speed song earlier an'all

That Diouf is shocking like.
