Guarantee he'll be on the bench vs City, Arma and Perez will start... we'll sub one and Gouffran will come on and he'll stay sat down. If there was a market from a bookies on that happening I'd stick a g on it

Quite looking forwards to this year's Only An Excuse, particularly the Chick Young/Rangers sketches they always do. Hopefully be some Ashley-ribbing in there.

Could it be... Pardew talking down a youngster even after a good performance?!

Krul, but otherwise you're probably right.

Home-r

what a load of misinformed nonsense that is.

Sensible pair of black leather shoes when stewarting, what's the problem?

the idea that the people who put the most time and effort into running this place would be rewarded by not being allowed to share an opinion.

Had been on for 15 seconds according to the BBC Sport report from that game. Sammy's will have been 7.something seconds? Chopra isn't even on this list and it's from August, though I kind of doubt the list seeing as his was way less than 23 seconds.

Was a brilliant finish, instinctive - like a lot of players of his ilk he seems a lot better when he doesn't have time to think. Still think he's nowhere near up to being what I'd like to see in an NUFC team but then again no-one is these days. I'm 50-50. As someone else just highlighted, back around February he started 3 or 4 games in a row, was the only player really worth a mention, got subbed at HT against the mackems with "illness" or summat and then disappeared until pre-season. He's certainly worth keeping around for another year or two IMO, as he's finally starting to show some end product and a bit of consistency.

Apologies if it's been covered already, but was that the fastest ever goal from a PL substitute?

Two?

Pardew's words seem to have actually coaxed some end product out of him. Outstanding run and finish for the equaliser.

A snip at £2m, like. Such a cultured player for his age and experience.

It's gonna be a humping; by the time the game is over, I will have been awake for 31 hours (including the DST hour) having worked for 18.5 of those. I have consumed so much Red Bull at work that I'm powering through til the bitter end, which obviously means a crushing defeat to reward my stupidity

"We are playing Tottenham on Sunday, Alan." "Are they a team of hobos?"

I have a feeling that Lamela will really "arrive" on Sunday with a couple of goals and a sparkling performance.

Massive lightbulb moment there from Pardew
