there were one or two niggly freekicks that he gave against us, but on the whole aye he was perfectly fine.
-
You'd hope that the Pardy Man has learned about this kind of thing after the Routledge debacle last year.
-
Eh? He scored, and played well. It was absolutely the right thing to do.
-
2-0, and then I think Martinez might get the boot. Hopefully then I can go back to 100% hating Wigan, as opposed to the 50% hatred that Martinez' presence offsets. Team needs to be changed - Sad Taylor at right-back, Santon at left-back, Simpson dropped, Marveaux replacing Obertan and maybe Ben Arfa for Best. The first two of those are pretty vital though imo, the Ben Arfa/Best situation I can take or leave at the moment.
-
Because he's a fucking wanker who thinks he's much better than he actually is.
-
Agree with every word except for me, Tiote just barely edged MOTM from Coloccini by a whisker. Good post though.
-
first thing I said once I'd calmed down from celebrating the goal.
-
Hot and cold first half, absolutely shit hot second half. In great form.
-
That backheel to Jonas in the final 15 minutes (think it wasn't long before he scored) was fucking amazing.
-
Is he down as a defender? Yeah, I think so. That's part of the appeal - other fans probably still think of him as a midfielder and have seen those free kicks he's scored this season. It's the same reason I have Jon Walters in my fantasy team, because he's classed as a midfielder but he plays up front for Stoke.
-
Parker was decent without being amazing, like.
-
It's because everyone is desperate to convince themselves that Santon has to replace Simpson. /sweeping generalisation
-
He's just a speed merchant. His ball retention is embarrassing and he's weak in the tackle. Should be an impact sub at best.
-
He was bordering on adequate today, but it's still the fourth or fifth game this season that he's looked worse than the right midfielder playing left-back on our other flank. Bench time, Danny.
-
His belief in Shola won us a point today. I was raging about that decision but he proved me completely wrong.
-
I told you all that he was better than Simpson months ago and you all laughed. He could have done better on the Defoe goal, but other than that I was very impressed with Ryan Taylor today - his passing was good and his set pieces were quite a bit better than Cabaye's. Simpson on the other hand posted another patchy performance littered with poor positioning. I really hope Santon comes into the side to replace Simpson and not Taylor, certainly at this stage.
-
Routledge was shit in the Premier League, but his ball retention was nowhere near as bad as Obertan's.
-
Cabaye's error left him with the tackle to make, and he had to do something. It was a poor tackle, but I'm not too upset about it. He played very well otherwise.
-
Absolutely fantastic game that, particularly the second half. Was end to end and bursting with full-blooded challenges (apart from Obercunt - more on that waster later) and some excellent passing from both sides. Krul 7 - Good save from Defoe at 1-2, claimed crosses well and did well to get hold of that R.Taylor header that nearly looped over him. Simpson 5.5 - The usual irritating shit positioning. Thought his passing was a bit better than usual today - I was glad he came off though. Might remind him that he's not actually untouchable. S.Taylor 6 - I'm not going to go mad over the penalty because that was Cabaye's error imo. He was solid other than that, made one absolutely mint block in the first half. Coloccini 8 - Gorgeous passing, really drove the team forwards from the back and performed his standard range of class tackles. The last 20 minutes he was sick, just wish he'd buried that late chance. R.Taylor 6 - done up like the proverbial kipper on the Defoe goal, but otherwise wasn't too bad. His long 'hoofing' was a bit better measured today, and his set pieces gradually improved as the game went on. Obertan 4 - full of shit. Weak as water, shirked challenges, and on two or three occasions just gave the ball away under nearly no pressure at all. Disgusting from Pardew that this gimp got 90 minutes again ffs. Marveaux please. Cabaye 6.5 - very bad error that lead to the penalty. I'd be rating him 8 had that not happened because he dictated periods of the game with his passing - those lofted balls for the wide players to run onto are fapworthy. Tiote 8.5 - Man of the match - nearly scored a pearler in the second half. Strong in the tackle, positioned himself excellently - kept it simple with the passing and even heroically tried to cut a Spurs cunt in half. Gutierrez 8 - Very impressive assist for the first goal and won the usual array of free kicks. I feel like he's going to create something every time he touches the ball now, seems very confident and long may that last. Ba 7 - well placed for the goal, hold-up play got better as the game went on. He's a real fret (threat) to the opposition goal at the minute. Best 7 - excellent hold-up play on the whole, won a lot of headers and posted another energetic display. Ben Arfa 6 - showed glimpses but also gave the ball away and nearly cost us a goal with that at one stage. Shola 8 - I pissed and moaned loudly when he came on but he was bloody magnificent with his hold-up play - lovely backheel to Jonas at one point and what. a. strike. for the equaliser. Santon 6 - glad he's made his debut - slotted in fine without pulling up many trees Pardew 7 - kept faith with the same team and it largely worked. The Shola sub seemed pointless but it came off for him. He loses points though for starting that useless cunt Obertan and failing to remove him from the field. Not actually read anything on here or online yet, but for me the penalty looked pretty clear cut, and that handball shout we had at the death could well have been given as well.
-
Lovenkrands and Shola included as subs, but no sign of Shane Ferguson. Mint.
-
Bet Jason Orange and the rest of them take the piss for that.

Left a pie in there more like.

S.Taylor FG, £1e/w at 33/1 Coloccini FG, £1 e/w at 33/1 3-1 to NUFC (forget stake, was small-ish) at 28/1

Serie A looks like fun today.
