Best of luck to the bloke. I'd love to see him make it big.

Who's Sean Dyche? I could have sworn GG was the Watford manager.

He's having to do a bit less donkey work now as well I suppose. Putting Ben Arfa on the wing liberates Jonas imo.

If we field a team that doesn't include Simpson, Smith, Shola, Obertan and Lovenkrands I'll probably be fairly pleased. Anyone reckon he might start Perch in midfield?

I'd like to see this team: Krul R.Taylor Coloccini Williamson Santon Ben Arfa Abeid Cabaye Vuckic Ferguson Best ...however I'm already convinced Obertan, Shola and Lovenkrands will probably see pitch time, sadly. Jonas needs a rest at some point too, not that he'll get it like.

I'll STILL never forget the bloke who rang and opened with "Hellaw Pards, y'areet?"

Will Pards be available on the iplayer later on?

U-benders.

Beausejour is fucking shit btw. Horrendous footballer.

(nah seriously I was gonna post that!)

:lol:

Quelle surprise!

GG: "been quality all season, calm and collected ball-playing centre-back who'd look a lot better in an actual football team. bit short, which is why he's been overlooked by bigger clubs for so long. would cost at least £2.5m though."

Shame, hope he gets a Football League deal and does well.

Couldn't get a game for Pompey Senegal, clearly not good enough.

He looks to be very competent in the centre of midfield, actually. I know he's only been playing sub-20 minute cameos there, but that's all we have to go on right now. He did well today.

I completely disagree. He had a poor game today by anyone's standards but he's anything but a 'disgrace' of a centre-half. He's proven to be a very competent defender at this level, who has the odd poor game. Everyone's favourite Coloccini was rather shite today too but you don't see many people laying into him. No way can you make a scapegoat of Williamson today.

I don't particularly see today as Pardew's fault, although I can't help but wonder what the fuck he said at half-time. Probably handed round a box of Cubans and said 'job done'.

Did absolutely fuck all apart from drift offside like a Sunday morning player all game.

Just found out that my local snooker club is showing this on their big screen tomorrow, get in.

All I can remember about Mariappa is what has already been said: that he was a midget in centre-back terms.

An optimistic HT/FT bet of Fulham/Newcastle at 28/1, just a quid. Also went: Chelsea West Ham Cardiff Stoke forget the odds, this was £2 and also a 5x2 BTS bet in the Championship and League 1, about 20/1, £1
