Looked injured in the Benfica game too. Just can't seem to get around the pitch comfortably. Plus seen him holding his groin (didn't know how else to phrase that ) a few times during Benfica.

What kind of idiot shows Adam Johnson on to his left foot and gives him a free shot?

His role in the 2nd goal was unforgivable. How this guy keeps walking back into the starting 11 like Jonas does is ridiculous

Disgusting performance. Bad reffing aside

Niall Quinn? Nice biased commentary to come then

That Mcmanaman should not be allowed to play in this game the little twat.

I think getting Aubameyang in to play alongside/wide of him next season, as it would seem he is our main target, would be awesome.

his arms have looked big all season because of the way he wears this years shirt.

Annoys me when you see offsides not given every week, even the Dortmund game on wednesday and yet we never seem to get the benefit of the doubt with Papiss. Damn linesman doing his job!

Yes.

Think people are going way over the top with this putting on weight thing. Didn't seem to affect him much plus it's no surprise he doesn't look as lean as he did seeing as he's been out so long.

love dem all black boots

I've thought Real are going to win this after knocking out Man U. Mourinho to leave after winning the champions league yet again

Didn't expect him to look as good as he did. Bodes well for the rest of the season.

Reached a point now where every time he scores I'm waiting to see if he's offside before I can celebrate, was the same against Fulham. Killer on the old ticker

Pretty sure Jonas will start at LB. Pards said in the nutv video that Massadio will start. I'm thinking, Krul Debuchy* Taylor* MYM Haiidara Cabaye Jonas/Tiote Marveaux Sissoko Gouffran Cisse * Simpson will play if Debuchy isnt fit Same with Willo for Taylor Ben Arfa and the derby day destroyer of course to come on later.

Think we did miss some of Santon's attacking play last night. Those driving runs help put the opposition on the back foot. Feel sorry for Santon. Seemed a bit burnt out before the injury and having something of a crisis of confidence, which is to be expected of a 21/22 year old who has made a couple of defensive errors.

Can't wait for this tonight. Really hope we go for it.

I did like that before the Santon injury Pardew started him up top with Cisse and Sissoko deeper in midfield as many had been asking to see. Showed that he maybe knows Gouffran is best suited pushed further forward, plus it showed we were doing for it against Fulham and that he's not totally against playing Sissoko from a deeper position.

pretty sure they did?

The quality of our attacking moves is so much better when he is involved in the build up. Such an elegant player.

Hitting a kid man

I think it's very possible if we come out all guns blazing 100mph and get an earlier goal next week. Problem is I can't remember a time that we have done that under Pardew.

This Harry Redknapp dealing with contracts the same one who said he can't read or write?

Just imagine Shola Ameobi being your dad.
