Nothing doing today yet. Went in play on Bologna at 15/2 after half an hour, they've just taken the lead. Real-1 also.

Should have been given a bit longer. He won the ball about four or five times in as many minutes, and had that pen shout near the end.

1-1 against the Mackems 5-1 against the Mackems. Wow what an improvement. 1-5 against Bolton. 1-1 against Bolton. Brilliant logic. Right because Pardew only had Guthrie and Smith for CM didn't he? In both the 5-1 loss at Bolton and the 1-1 draw at Sunderland, the respective managers had Nolan, Smith and Guthrie available for CM. Don't even know why I'm arguing with you like, you're talking absolute bollocks and clearly have some sort of agenda with Pardew.

The 10 minutes that came after the sending off were an embarrassment. About five times Tiote got the ball deep and every other player was stood about with their fingers up their respective arses, not moving or wanting the ball.

Not the only one either. What is it with this forum and Gutierrez? He was poor today, but I seemingly forgot that it's not allowed to ever criticise him.

Teeth girl and her mate were right in front of me and my dad. Fucking irritating pair of twats they are.

Very good today, the only thing I'd say is Kuqi should have replaced Best earlier. Best wasn't winning many aerial balls, although mainly down to fucking shit reffing. He was pushed or pulled pretty much every time and we seemed to get a free kick for one of every four.

Both linesmen were. Fucking dire performance from the lot of them. Would deffo like to see the Ranger offside goal again and the Best pen shout that was inexplicably flagged as offside, but only when he went to ground. Harper 7 - fine Simpson 6 - irritating at times by failing to show for the ball Williamson 7 - not aerially dominant but coped well Coloccini 7 - fine Enrique 6 - hit and miss R.Taylor 5 - sending off looked harsh, no way it'll be rescinded though, shit set pieces mainly Tiote 7 - mostly good Nolan 6 - faded Gutierrez 5 - full of shit Best 6 - started brightly, not helped by terrible officiating Lovenkrands 5 - scampered about to little effect S. Taylor 6 - fine Ranger 6 - tried Kuqi 6 - did well, should have replaced Best far earlier

Terry Mac once saw him come out the tunnel clenching his fist and looking really pleased about something at half time when the subs were warming up, I assume his four-horse accumulator must have came in.

I'd leave Leeds alone, Swansea are good at home. Don't let the Cardiff game fool you.

Reckon 2-1 from behind - K.Davies, Barton and then Best.

Came in last night steaming and placed £6 on a Newcastle win at 11/10. Soberly placed: £2 on Watford £2 on Blackpool, Man Utd, Sunderland/Everton draw, Villa £2 on Blackpool single

Pardew's good at banging, he prefers a lady garden to a door though.

Brilliant news this, to go along with JC signing as well.

Didn't he hit the bar and have one ruled out against MK Dons?

proof that you can't win anything with kids

Would love our milk-bottle legged ginger nut to tear shit up in Italy.

I like that.

Against Sunderland at home, 1-1... Bellamy or Robert scored I think. Solano missed a sitter at the death.

Loads of people were saying it in the days leading up to his appointment.

Can anyone explain to me why seemingly half the forum thought Pardew would come in and drop Tiote for Smith?

Went 50p in play on Sevilla after an hour and they came up trumps! 5/1. Man Utd, Arsenal, Stranraer, Ayr, Arbroath - £1 = £15.88 Berbatov Fg, Man Utd 2-0 - 50p = £14.20 Draw HT, Man Utd FT - £1 = £5.50 Inter -1 - 50p = £2.75
