Goal and an assist already.

1:52:30 or so onwards... "Half-back, passes to the wing, wing to the centre! Centre holds it! Holds it! HOLDS IT!!"

We've actually bought in every January window since 2010. So does just about every club in the football league. Whoopy-do. The point is, just because we invested properly for the first time in years last January doesn't mean we'll do it again. We bought Cisse and Ben Arfa in January windows like. It's been a lot more fruitful than the summer, I think that's what people are saying.

Probably why he keeps getting subbed for Haidara... Pards wants a tackle on the pitch.

No wait, I find him informative and witty. Night.

Standard team finding solace in the cup to get away from their awful, terrible league form. They'll get battered by City and hopefully the ET makes them tired for Norwich.

There's no blue pop left kids "Ah fuck, we'll have to have Frewt Shewt"

Demoralising defeat on pens after outplaying Chelsea for all of extra time please.

It is a natural reaction to blame things you do not understand - get the pitchforks and burning torches lads.

There's a fair few of those floating round the pitch anyway.

Another own goal Catts for me like.

I think we'll get Gomis and loan a few out. That'll be it IMO.

Liverpool 2-0 Cardiff Crystal Palace 1-2 Newcastle Fulham 0-2 Man City Man Utd 3-0 West Ham Stoke 1-1 Aston Villa Sunderland 1-2 Norwich West Brom 2-1 Hull Southampton 1-0 Tottenham Swansea 0-1 Everton Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea

1-2 away win I reckon. Pair for Gouffran.

Don't think Sissoko makes better decisions in areas that count. If anything Sissoko always makes the wrong decision in the final third. Like when he won the header against Evra and set Cabaye up for his goal against Man Utd? Or when he scored against WBA the week before? I'm not saying he should be relied on in the final third but he can be useful. Should be his job to pressure the oppositions midfield, win the ball, surge forward and deliver the ball to players who can put it to better use. Or there's the shit pass to Obertan (two mistakes there: electing to pass to that gimp, and doing it badly) when we broke into the box vs. Swansea, and the many times he sort of runs down a blind alley of three or four defenders and loses possession. He's hit-and-miss, the original comment of 'always makes the wrong decision' is pretty laughable, but he could easily improve with that imo.

Was surprised at first and thought it was a crap decision, but having seen that stat of 7 wins in 34 during 2013, that's absolutely horrendous considering they've backed him with a decent amount of funds like.

Aguero captain (10pts pre bonus) and Ramsey (5pts) and Mertesacker (5pts) from that game. Not bad! Mertesacker casually wiping out his shit score with a pointless goal at the end.

Ben Arfa should be starting really. No better time than now to get him involved from the off.

Didn't he compare Ba to Harewood and Zamora though? Ashton when fit was a very, very good footballer, but he doesn't hold a candle to Remy, Ba or Tevez and there's probably a few more Pardew's had too (Carroll actually).

The players never seemed to look too fatigued when we'd go to Sochaux or Breda or some other no-mark side and give them a good three or four goal howking under SBR, and then 9 or 10 of the same 11 would line up that weekend like.

It's the right choice moving the mackems like, a Sunday trip for Cardiff fans would be really difficult but not so much for Carlisle fans.

Does Boruc missing mean Gazzaniga in goal? He's shite, but the last time he played against us we didn't even have a shot to trouble him with.

Accompanied with a picture of Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers films, probably.

The ball! His groin!
