No Cech, Nastasic, Mangane or Wilkinson for me. Ridiculous.

Agbonlahor and Weimann dropped to the bench, thankfully. Bannan & Westwood vs Cabaye, Perch & Sissoko HAS to be ours.

Apart from Jonas (which is down to injury), that team is fine tbh. Weak bench though. Calm down.

That'll do, duck. WIN!!!!

HURRY UP!!!!

If we dare lose this game....

So this is how it ends?

Shame but lets wait for Tom Ince.

Pardew's defensive mentality and desire for a 'tackler'.

I reckon he'll go: Krul; Debouchebag, MYM, Colo, Santon; Perch, Cabaye, Sissoko; Marveaux, Gutierrez; Cisse BENCH: Elliot, Taylor, Haidara, Anita, Obertan, Gouffran, Shola 2-1 to us.

It took a while but it was good to hear from Colo. He's still a top lad, even if his father isnt. I have no doubts that he'll be back to his best soon.

I dont mind who starts out of Taylor and MYM but he needs to pick the right one of Anita, Perch and Gutierrez. We're better than them.

He's the frontrunner, I hope you're right! But Spurs playing away has potential

Excited for a relegation 6-pointer, what's wrong with me? The problem is that I'm confident and expecting the win, which never ends well. But the new signings will give us momentum and I think Sissoko will have a Tiote-like debut.

Fellaini (WBA), Michu (sun), Mata (rea), Walcott (LIV), Lennon (nor), Fletcher (SWA), Cisse (vil), Van Persie (SOU) One of these has to be dropped This is torture!

Taylor and Colo at the back, MYM in midfield

Just need to sell Simpson and Xisco then we're done.

4 wins and a few draws should keep us up, really. That'd be 36 points.

As we now have many central midfielders, 2 good full backs and are targeting more strikers, it seems logical that Pardew is trying to go 4-3-1-2.

When is his contract set to expire?

If we can't beat this Villa then we deserve to go down tbh.

Heard very good things about him but that price is extremely steep. I'd much prefer the pacy winger/forward type tbh, as good as Bony is.

I thought it was erehtih backwards.

That double negative repulses me. Best avoid him.
