Boumsong struggled in his debut against Yeading. Was never a good sign was it.

nah not really.

Stephen Carr

I think considering the amount of changes we had to make due to injuries, as well as the tiredness that was clearly on show after monday night's epic display against Stoke, to win vs a good Everton team is a magnificent effort. By the end our midfield was Jonas, Guthrie, Gosling and Sammy Ameobi. A very unfamiliar lineup. Regarding the penalty appeal, I do think it would have been harsh to give it but at the same time, if rolls were reversed we would have all been crying out for a penalty too and been adamant it was definitely going in. You can't blame Everton fans for feeling hard done by. All in all, a vital 3 points which sits us in a great position going into 3 very tough games.

No one believes in Andy Carroll more than Carroll himself, but even he knows he's not worth £35m. I can't decide whether I'd be glad to see him back in a Toon shirt or not, which is hard to believe considering how annoyed I was when we sold him.

yeah definitely wasn't at his best today, was clearly knackered. Credit to him for going the full 90 mins and putting in two vital tackles, one was particularly well made. Time for a well earned rest.

What a player. Absolutely fantastic today and as always so, so classy.

Jonas not had his best game but you've got to love him.

great tackle from Jonas.

well done Jonas

definitely not Jonas' best half, he looks jaded and is struggling to make a mark on the game.

WHAT?! What's to argue about? You can't tell me you were better than us that half. It's been as even a half of football as I can remember this season. I'd say we have been slightly on top. 2-1 is probably a fair reflection.

I just want Mike Williamson, gradually stripping off month by month.

Alan Hansen is probably the best of the pundits, but 40k is ridiculous.

another fantastic display, hard to call MOTM between him and Ba. He's becoming a bit of a cult figure.

Man of the match by a fecking country mile! Well, either Jonas or Ba.

Danny off for Dan.

Jonas has been superb.

if the challenge on Crouch was a penalty than so was the one on Best. The only difference is Best didn't dive.

Reckon Pardew will press "continue" by accident and just sit in the corner ignoring all the fuckers. he'll ask assistant.

how did that corner go?

yeah, that's what he looked like pre-Morrissey quiff.

he's a chav trapped inside an indie fag's body.
