Obertan must have been on French Crystal Maze, I assume that's where he got the hat.

I love that little Cartoon Pards

We need a gif of the Bruce Forsyth pose for the first. that's what I thought too get in

They've re badged it, you fool! Just reading the match thread, this deserves some recognition. :lol:

I thought he played a decent cameo role tonight.

He wants a Virgin Money patch on that like.

He'll play in the FA Cup game and then retain his place for the QPR match. It's so blatant.

Blinkered fans with an agenda won't appreciate Shola's performance tonight. His manager will.

I thought we played with 10 men, him being the odd one out. Cataracts.

My dad has just told me about a guy in the Ladbrokes queue who had £3 on Ba 3-0. Seems like he saw Skirge. :lol:

The first ten minutes tonight he seemed to have the ball loads, was great to see. He was mint.

He was better than Obertan because his positioning, footballing brain and ball retention are light years better. He did some things poorly tonight but largely was good, I thought.

That ginger keeper is shit but he was unlucky, the way the wind caught that after the bounce was unreal.

Taking the piss with that cheeky flick in the corner on the 90th minute.

Much better tonight. Another great block on the line too.

Flawless.

I remember Wullie saying he'd shit his pants with the team selection, and Mick saying we should get rid. How ridiculous.

Everything this week points to Ben Arfa finally getting a start, but I'm not going to be shocked at all if he's a sub again.

I hope if that's the real deal, it's similar to the West Ham situation years ago where the patches were sewn on at the 11th hour and that in future games it'll not look so slapdash.

That looks like such a photoshop job. Look at his cheeks.

Not entirely the opposite. They're both shit.

you must have splinters in your arse.

They might be going for the good publicity? Would mean very little outside of NE1. If they're paying big money they're looking for national/international impact. However if it were to happen I could see a future sponsor incorporating "St.James'Park" into their chosen name. Honestly think it would have national impact if they changed it back - seeing as the original change made such headlines. 'Saint Richard did another lovely thing today' type stuff while providing coverage of the actual sponsorship itself which is the key aim of said sponsorship, of course. that's what I was getting at with my glass half full and that.
