Some absolutely ludicrous and over-the-top criticism in this thread. He's a competent Premier League defender on his day; he's just had a rather poor run of games lately. It's certainly possible we brought him back from injury a bit early and he's still playing catch-up a bit.

That post is totally unnecessary when you actually read mine, and see that I said "Pardew rectified his mistake" i.e. not starting Ben Arfa in the first place and picking a side that was too workmanlike.

Absolutely spot on, especially agree with the first sentence. I'm way more vehement in my defence of Taylor because people constantly slate him when he has an areet game.

Williamson's been dead poor lately but I'd still want to see him playing centre-back ahead of Perch, 100%.

Pards looks like a proper lion there.

You and the rest of the worldwide NUFC fanbase. I said 'oh fuck, he might be ill' and about 5 people all said "don't want him playing" etc.

Shit first half. Acceptable second.

Third draw on the spin, I reckon. 1-1.

The second half yesterday was as good as I've seen an NUFC team peform in ages, even before the sending off. They had that double chance, but that was the only time I can remember them threatening in our box within 45 minutes. For making the change at half-time and introducing Ben Arfa, Pardew deserves some credit - many of the gripes in here have been that he doesn't react to a shit performance quickly enough. He certainly did yesterday, and introduced Shola at the right time too. Basically, first half pathetic. Second half great. At least Pards rectified his mistake; with a bit of luck, we'd have won the game yesterday. Optimist here.

Called it right that Shola needed to be involved yesterday.

We're getting all we deserve: nowt. Loads of long balls, ponderous play, slow, no ideas or invention. We're second to every ball and look flooded in the centre of the park. Time for Pards to earn his money and get them playing.

Confident in the lads but got more butterflies than Elefun the elephant

Aye, he landed in a bunker, went to reach for a sand wedge and Dennis Wise handed him a 9-iron.

Pards is Anderson Cooper, man. http://static.oprah.com/images/obc/slideshow/20100527-new-yorkers-reads-anderson-cooper-600x411.jpg

What are people going with for the derby? Gonna go with a few scorecasts for 50p each I think Cisse 3-2, 110/1 Ba 3-1, 50/1 Ryan Taylor 1-0, 55/1 Cisse 3-0, 60/1 Ba 5-1, 200/1

Going to get up early, head for the bookies for 9am and in the boozer for about 10am if I can manage it. Will start drinking earlier though, watching the derby sober is awful.

Akinfenwa. The ultimate shame.

Everton

Kilgallon is playing? Cisse and Ba should be able to take the piss out of a Championship clogger like him.

Get in Everton!

Fucking delighted to see those cunts lose in that fashion. Can't wait for MOTD already.

Parky scores
