Ben Arfa hits a post.

NUFC win was always a long shot. Two draws are exactly that at HT. Accumulator has 2 teams won, 1 team 4-1 up at HT and two teams kicking off later. Both teams to score has 6/10 at half time. Plenty of time for everything to go wrong then

what's Sammy been like?

TTWTB is my least favourite football fan of all time. I include all of Sunderland's fans in that, Man U, Man City and Chelsea come-latelys, teeth girl, I could keep on going. The man is a complete and utter pain in the arse.

Amazing work. Nuff respec'.

He follows in the footsteps of former superyouth striker Michael Chopra in being packed off to Barnsley on loan.

A business to run selling meat and tabs down the local pub has never been so glam.

@ Dave's "Go on Ryan" response

Does he say "Lezzers End"?

Sammy is moving closer to a start, then.

It's absolutely critical that we utilise Jonas properly in this game, and I don't think I'd be comfortable trying him in a new position. Certainly not in this match.

Tavernier has played maybe two or three League Cup ties? None of the others have made a first-team appearance for us.

Emre was never actually done for being racist though, was he?

Pards out

Was like that last year, just the two turnstiles open, I got in with like a minute played and there was still a huge queue behind me.

Osman's not a bad player but he totally doesn't fit our bill.

That sentence makes my eyes bleed.

I noticed Martin Samuel used both names in his caption of his article about Pardew.

Depeche Mode - Wrong

Bet all the toothless simpletons and men with eyebrows on their cheeks are fucking delighted.

Agree, he's a fucking cheat with a nose that doubles as a tin opener.

If that Barry goal gets put down as an o.g. then what does that mean re: first goalscorer bets? Does the o.g. count?

Barry and Zamora start and Sturridge left out.
