His CV suggests that last season wasn't the norm, why should we go through another season like this one to find out what we already know? I don't care about his CV, mate. I'll make my own judgement. I find that pretty staggering to be honest. Bit like saying "North Korea are threatening nuclear war!" "Don't worry mate, it's par for the course for them." "I don't care about anything that happened before I last had a steak. I'll make my own judgement."

Pardew really ought to go at the end of the season.

If Wigan score, we're back in big trouble.

Any more evidence of corruption needed? The governing bodies of football are all corrupt. We accept FIFA and UEFA are corrupt, yet expect the our own FA to be free of that? It's naive.

Predominantly due to his distinctive head foliage.

He sure does.

I don't really care who's at fault, so long as they try to fix it.

Shall we start a Release Date Sweepstake?

It was no way a red card offence. Loved the way Perch acted after it, total gentleman. No, but Perch was already on a yellow. Thought he got a yellow from that if you mean the Kone-kicking? Think that would've been his second booking. That was his first. The second (that should have been) was that slide on the edge of the box.

How does that work then? Could be a bad sign if they think his career's over. Not doom-mongering, just saying.

Little something I put together from Twitter. Maybe got a few of the facts wrong (Bardsley's was a second yellow, rather than straight red.. someone said De Jong got booked, I recall him getting nowt) but the point stands.

The linesman's view is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Halsey I can forgive for that one moment, but that linesman should never be involved again.

This. He looks knackered.

I watched the Mackems game (I know, I know) and their luck was unreal. Their player handling in their own box, ref inexplicably gives a free kick outside. And I know the Bassong handball was a handball, but it was harsh. Controlled with his chest and it bounced onto his arm with no one near him threatening.

Add to that De Jong v Benny, Bardsley v Colo, and that Sterling tackle. There's a video montage to be made in there.

Correct me if wrong, but barring the dodgy ricochet at Swansea, we haven't conceded a goal from open play while M'Biwa's been on the pitch.

Honestly, best defensive performance of the season. Both of them were absolutely tremendous. The amount of headers won against Traore was ridiculous. That's what amazed me. They kept floating balls in towards Traore before Mbiwa or Perch flew up past his head and cleared them.

Yeah, sounds like a snap. The pressure on him from the press and fans has been utterly disgusting, in my opinion. He deserves a better club. God, Chelsea are becoming even more detestable than Liverpool in my books.

I love that he feels the need to explain with "Big f***ing nose" as well.

We really need to sort our Decembers out...

What the actual fuck?

Can't believe 'planned engineering work' between Darlington and Newcastle has taken all trains out of action until 12.30 today. Ridiculous.
