How is he suspended? 5 yellow cards. So he'll be back for our game then.

How is he suspended?

Think it was a booking. He knew what he was doing though, lucky Colo didn't make more of it.

That's the best team they've fielded all season. Fuck off Ferguson.

When we have the ball aye. He is so right footed and it reflects in his positional play which is why we have Jonas doing what he is doing. Its his right foot thats keeping him in the team. Its a weopon. Im sure Santon would offer more. He likes to attack also. Cabaye should be our "tekker" now. Disagree with that. He obviously favours his right foot but he's far from just restricted to using it. But being right footed affects his position too moving into positions where get is getting the ball on his right. This leaves big gaps...dont you watch the games? This ties Jonas down. Santon has played LB most of his career to date id say he was more occoplished really. Where on earth did I say Ryan Taylor was a more occoplished [sic] LB than Taylor? You said it was Taylor's right peg that was keeping him in the side and he was so right footed which is just wrong. Obviously I don't watch the games though.

Yep.

Hope he was getting centre half and centre mid mixed up.

Nice choice. Didnt know Stevn Fry supported Norwich City. Norwich is also a very nice place. I too quite like FC Basel for the same reasons. Also because they have Derdiyok and that other young swiss lad Shaquiri who looks quality. Two quality players who, if we qualify for europe we could possibly get. He plays for Leverkusen.

He's back in full training. I thought someone had already said he doesn't feature in any training pics and Pardew has already said he's out tomorrow? He is out tomorrow but someone posted on here yesterday he's back in full training.

He's back in full training.

What kind of bellend comes up with the phrase 'have the intelligence to banter with me'?

Surprised Wireside's up at this time tbh, got to be up early in the morning to run his business.

Even his house is boring, look at those curtains ffs.

Quite an honest admission from Barton there. A change from his massive ego I suppose. tbh England could do a lot worse than Barton on the right wing. Last season, yes. Not this season though.

No it shouldn't. Ben Arfa will scare the life out of them. Too many teams go there cautious and then lose but, by playing HBA, we have an attacking threat. I was referring to it been Best or Ba. There isn't even a decision to be made there and I'm sure that's how Pardew will view it too.

Still think he'll play.

No it shouldn't.

You can use that fact, if it's not the players natural position. It was his positional sense that let him down not his touch or balance. If he was correctly positioned he would have been correctly balanced and potentially made a better first touch. You can't use it as an excuse for him though. It's the same as putting Demba Ba in goal and letting him off for fucking up 'cos he's out of position'. What the fuck? Certain you could let him off if that was the case. Terrible example to use.

No Rooney for Man Utd tonight. Bet he plays on Saturday though.

Aye, as well as a corker against Wolves too. Aye I'm referring to last season as it says in my post, twice. It was a decent effort against Spurs but it was down the centre and it went over, mostly those shots just result in dramatic saves.

Absolutely.

Aye, as well as a corker against Wolves too.

Agree but I do think the fullbacks are contributing to a shoddy looking defence at the moment. Cole seems to be struggling with direct players which will hopefully bring a big performance out of Obertan (I'm sure you'll be the first to point out Routledge up against Cole last year). If we can get the three I mentioned running at their defence and worrying them, Ba could have a field day up against Terry and Luiz. Ben Arfa will certainly scare the hell out of them if we can get him on the ball in behind their midfield.
