Not subtle with his answer for longest in the shower.

It depends I think, Owen certainly wasn't helped by the reception he got last year.

Lovely to see our backroom staff openly showing their dislike of the mackems. Also enjoyed Steve Stone's 'Joey Bar...er QPR 1' 

Nathan Eccleston is half the odds of HBA to score first at Bet365.

9/2 for Hatem to score anytime. Don't mind if I do.

Raylor got torn a new one at Anfield earlier in the season. It may even have been by Downing, who is widely regarded to be having a terrible season.

Simpson will be fine man. The only reason I'd pick R Taylor over Santon at left back in this game is because we're missing the skipper's assuring presence. Taylor being the more experienced of the two.

Depends on what sort of experience you are after. If you're talking simply about number of games then indeed Ryan Taylor gets the nod, however, if you want someone who has played international football and in the champions league then Santon is your man.

It'll be interesting to here the opinion of some of the knackers at the match around me that were groaning every time he came on and had bought into Pardew's quotes in the press about him not working hard enough etc.

The old boy who sits right in front of me was moaning about him the whole of the Norwich game and then when he got taken off stated that it was about time. Muppet.

Ref bottled it. My mate picked all 9 premier league results so far this weekend. Stood to win £13 grand if Fulham got a draw tonight.

 

Err, why the hell did he not put some money on Man Utd and Fulham winning tonight?

Not his vibe. Has been surfing down at Croyde so had to listen to it on his radio in his mini. Just got off the blower to him - had to talk him through the penalty decision, was tough.

Just hungover saturday morning and he put a string of random accumulators on. Realised sat night that one was still on and he just needed us and a man u/fulham draw. He had convinced himself it wasn't going to happen and was expecting a comfortable Man U win, however, understandably he is currently a broken man!

He isn't best pleased. Gutted for the lad.

Also Le Tissier is abysmal. Fact.

Man U have made so many unforced errors tonight.

Hopefully Pardew will remember that he had to drag Raylor off for Santon at half time in the game at Anfield.

I would quite happily see a midfield 3 of Tiote, Cabaye and Gutierrez. Jonas has been excellent for us when he has played in the middle, both as the more advanced player and sitting deeper as he did yesterday. Playing in the centre also means that his relative weakness when it comes to crossing probably wont matter as much.

Big fan of McCoist, although for me it is more because of QOS rather than his playing career as I was a bit young. He has put on a few pounds since then mind, particularly around the face!

He blocked quite a few goal bound shots with his body today. Krul was equally to blame for West Brom's goal.

 

Bollocks.  When Williamson should have nodded it back to Krul he left it, then when he shouldn't have touched it he headed it away from Krul.

Spot on. His first decision should have been to head it back. Instead he chose to try and shield it back to Krul, which was more risky, however, it was just about to work out ok when he changed his mind and decided to head it. Muppet

Spot on. I have criticised him in recent weeks, but fair play to him today.

Excellent in the middle today.

Imagine if it's Simpson - Williamson - Perch - Raylor  That could be the worst back four of players not playing horrendously out of position to have ever started a premier league game!

Massive to have Tiote back for this one. Would stick him in there with Jonas and allow Cabaye to get forward again.

Good news

Good throw there Danny

Has Jonas dropped back to protect the back 4?

Was going to say, he is playing DM

I am worried, but we do look like we have another goal in us.

Don't boo him, lads. He tries his best.
