Great save from De Gea there!

QPR are f***ing s***.

So is their ground and their fans. Horrible little shithouse of a club.

Van Persie goes off injured

 

1-0 Wigan

How serious was the injury? Who came on for him?

Rooney on the bench

Jonas 'the most important thing' Gutierrez

mot importan ting

                                    Krul

                Mbiwa.        Saylor.    Coloccini

Debuchy.              Cabaye.    Tiote.              Santon

                  Sissoko.                      HBA

                                    Cisse

 

In all seriousness this would, theoretically at least, look plausible. It would allow both Santon and Debuchy to attack more regularly, whilst also allowing HBA and Sissoko to be central where they are more influential. This is Pardew though- tactical experimentation? 

Maybe it's not a formation to start the game with, but possibly one to change to, bringing on the extra CB during the game to turn a result.

What a beast, that final save of his 3 in a row was outstanding.

The one-handed save from Willian, his first meaningful save, was the best of the lot imo.

The signing of Haidara shows exactly why we should try to keep Simspon tbh. The luxury of being able to rest Santon and Debuchy (in theory, in this case), is one we can immensely benefit from. Not to mention the competition for places of course.

As for last night, I thought he came in and did an ok job. He wasn't the obvious weak link in the side, and in a match like last night's that's good enough for me from a back-up fullback.

The human bottle opener will be gone in the summer. He's not going to hang around any longer playing in the euro second tier cup.

Cristaldo that odious little shit cunt

What a fucking shit player.

Get well soon Timmy. Crossing all limbs he's alright. Was imperious tonight.

Powerhouse. Awesome defender. So so promising.

Been a great game so far. Kroos is unplayable, and Walcott is so dangerous.

Say whatever you like about Wenger, I would absolutely kill to have him at NUFC this summer.

Not enough in the world for that RAWK post.

:煩悶:

I think TT's jizzed on them, then shat on them and burned them.

Now torn between captaining Walcott who is at home to Villa, and Nolan who usually does well in derby games. Hope Le Fondre plays the full 90 at home to Wigan, for once.

Was so close to moving off the bottom of my league until that c*** Sturridge got given the penalty to take. I've had to perform miracles to be in a position to catch up with those above me though. At some point before xmas I was nearly 200 points below the geezer above me. I've now narrowed it down to 16. Another good week next week and I'm right back in the mix, and no wooden spoon.

Cheers. Highlights is probably pushing it a touch though, the game doesn't even start until ten minutes in.

Marvelous patter.

No no, Marveaux's twitter mate.

But

interdasting 

f*** me, and the lino was in the best possible position to see that there was no offside. Fixed. No doubt in my mind. That, or he was trolling. The worst part was that the c*** waited until Sissoko touched the ball before raising the flag. f*** off.

It was actually a beautiful move all around. Great ball from Obertan and excellent movement from both Sissoko and Cisse.

Neither was offside. The day that a forward's fucking boot is offside is the day they should all pack it in.

Looked like it was bloody fixed. Ref and his gimps doing everything in their power to give us nothing. Atrocious from UEFA having an amateur like this wanker ref a top class game. Completely out of his depth. Only decision he got right was booking that diving twat in our penalty box.

Mbiwa at right back has worked out well. They haven't had a sniff down that side.

Yes he's been outstanding.
