Full strength if the Chronicle is to be believed.

For as much as Tiote is wrongfully booked/sent off due to reputation, YoCabs gets away with murder. Nothing malicious but that tackle near the end.....
Sorry if i have mis-interpreted what you were trying to say, but i'd argue there was plenty of malice in that tackle at the end.
Thought it was just late and a bad tackle. Don't think he meant to hurt Dembele.
I guess, but you don't go into a tackle like that without knowing theres every chance you are going to hurt the player. I know what you mean that - I don't think he has thought 'I'm going to do him here', but he is well aware he is going to be late.

Fully expect Shola to be upfront on his own, and pretty much a reserve side. 1-1.
It better not be. Honestly don't think he will either.

Are they trying to insinuate he is x 1.5 the player Carroll is?!
-
Should have been in from the off. Mind you when he tried to hit that volley first time after the corner it was ridiculous - must be mental to be attempting that.

Not worried about Cisse at all. He'll score plenty of goals in this side.
Did you copy paste that from a couple of weeks ago? I keep reading these votes of confidence, and people expected Cisse to pick it up after Ba left, but it hasn't really happened for him so far, has it? I predicted him to score 20-25 earlier in that poll, now I'd be ecstatic if he gets half that.
He's scored three times in the last couple of weeks. He's still off the form of last season, but that was ridiculous form to be honest. 20-25 Premier League goals would have probably seen us challenging for the title btw, it happens that rarely.
Exactly. Hope he gets a start on Thursday though. He could do with one or two for a bit of confidence.

Don't understand why Anita's out in the cold.
I think he's a bit knackered. It may seem bizarre for a professional athlete to be tired after half a season, but he looked it in his last couple of appearances.
It is odd given actually out of all our players, he's been the one that's turned in some big performances against the big side - was excellent at Old Trafford and pretty decent at the Emirates?
Good to know the likes of him, Tiote, Marv, Mapou etc will all play on Thursday.
-
Time for him to step back into being a bit part player I think.
-
Oh come on Jamie, they aren't close to being a title winning side - they were only better than us because of one player.
Contradicts himself - how can they be so near to challenging for the title, but at the same time need to completely change their wage structure in order to do so?

Still getting used to the intensity of the league. Played almost a full game midweek as well. 4 games in the last 15 days - 3 of which will have been of an intensity he's rarely experienced. Not surprising he's running out of puff a bit.

Undroppable?
No. Needs to be phased out gradually, though.
Totally agree. Can you see Pardew doing it though??

I know it's only been 10 minutes and I'm sure he's fired up to be back in the team, but Tiote has been awesome.
Hopefully it has been enough to prove he should be in ahead of Perch.
-
Cabaye lucky to get a booking there.
-
First thing the commentators have got right - Bale has been the difference to be fair. Encouraging given we still have Hatem to come back.
-
-
He's off the pitch, why are we stopping?
-
Just want this match to be over now. Sickened by that injury.
You know Pards will trot that line out if we lose as well don't you.
-
Such a shame, he has been excellent. Fingers crossed though. Tiote got stretchered off at Stamford Bridge last year and was pissing about by the end of the game.
-
Surely can't be broken?

Parker's not looked bad today
Parker isn't bad, but he's no world beater either.
-
Is Wolves away really the last time we scored from a corner?
-
It is amazing how bad Jonas is at kicking a football for someone with as many Argentina caps as he has racked up.

Maybe usually, but given we have a game in the middle of nowhere 2 days earlier it would make sense to know that we have at least Hatem, Gouffran and Debuchy to come in totally fresh.
