The Internet: serious business.

There's a strong possibility that Campbell will be on the bench here imo, especially if Shola isn't fit to play.

Nar, cos ESPN might decide to pick up the coverage before the day of the game.

Absolutely love reading brummie's posts about Villa, like. One of the best things about this forum at the moment, they're class.

Does Pardew have any previous for touchline shenanigans/getting sent off etc? I remember he squared up to Wenger but he was cleared of all charges from that, is there owt else? Could work in his favour if not.

Sigurdsson is a bit like a more mobile and slightly better technically version of Nolan, with about 10x the fanfare.

I thought the second bloke who played the Annoying Devil was a smoggie?

Yep, there's a difference between players I thought were shit and didn't like, and the hatred I feel for this greedy little cuntbag.

He was piss poor once again. He's a fucking shambolic footballer, and anyone who says otherwise can gan boil their head. Spot on post from Beren, I'm assuming some of Simpson's rent boys will be able to explain how it's not his fault though.

The Pard Push

It's easily possible that he went to sit elsewhere in the ground (posh seats, directors box etc) and his mobile had ran out of juice or something.

We only had three shots on target - the two goals, and the long-range effort from Jonas near the end that got tipped over. We were very clinical.

Having a midget like Defoe in their team was probably a factor in choosing Perch over Williamson. Perch is a better bet than the slow-turning Williamson against an agile Defoe. It also helps that they have no Adebayor to own Perch in the air, which is a definite weakness of his. Yep, I was very impressed that Pards hadn't just stuck to a 'pecking order' and chose Taylor's partner to compliment him and also to potentially counteract the threat of Defoe better.

He dug in well today. It was a gutsy captain's performance alright.

Sky's player ratings thing gave Ben Arfa 6/10 and 'barely in the game before penalty' fucking madness

I hardly even noticed him all afternoon, apart from one occasion in the first half when I recall remarking "that was like what Colo would have done there". Him and Taylor were good today.

class.

As if O'Neill even knows who Vurnon Anita is. He probably thinks Harry Potter's uncle has got married to the bird who opened The Body Shop, the senile old prick.

2-0, Cisse and Cabaye.

was waiting for someone to say that, getting dogs abuse for plugging on there.

obviously I need to work on my delivery.

The more I think about it, the less I'd like us to get Carroll back. I'm hoping that towards the end of the transfer window we'll see some of our other targets in the striking department become cheaper or more readily available, and that we'll move to secure them instead. Oh, and done another write up, this time on West Ham's potential bid for Carroll can be found here. Cheers.

I bet if he gets 3 or 4 goals by Christmas he'll extend the contract for a year, probably with a wage increase.
