The Prophet

Some of his comments are excellent: 'It was a half of football that was a bit like kissing your sister...' 'It's Bender... looking for a Bender!'

He's a poor right winger, followed up a poor display against Stoke with a bog standard display today. The pitfalls of having no natural wide men I suppose.

My only complaint is we should of had a go a bit earlier. Sissoko, Cabaye nour Gouffran never really tried to get beyond Remy which is criminal when you have the insurance of two defensive midfielders. There were occasions where if a runner was willing to gamble they may have been rewarded.

Was a cracking ball in from Walcott mind.

'No more goals!'

Injuries are really catching up with Dortmund this year, hope they have enough to see off Napoli on Wednesday. They struggled to put a back four out against Munich.

Probably Giggs... http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/wow-borussia-dortmund-fans-were-sensational-after-losing-3-0-at-home-to-bayern-munich/

West Brom were quite restrained in their reaction to the penalty incident, lynshings should have been dished out, first Mariner then Ramires

We need a decent left footed left back like.

Players like Marv and Ben Arfa are redundant under Pardew, might as well flog the pair of them and buy two hard working wide men with decent delivery.

Aye, let's laugh at Laudrup! Trophy winning, European competition participating wanker! It'll be interesting on a scale of one to Pardew how much of a song and dance he makes of the extra games.

Man United were 8/1 to win the league before today, value. No doubt the Man United fans will start coming out the woodwork again.

Vintage Moyes display this.

Entitled to go for that surely? THUG!! Fil the fug!

Being man marked by Jones, who's s*** apparently, despite Ozil not touching the ball yet. He quite clearly isn't like. He's shielding the back four well at the moment though.

It'll take something special to top the Palermo performance mind.

Spurs could have notched a couple if it wasn't for Krul. They definitely lack tempo in their play though.

This f***ing sentence, man. Is this what some of us have actually become? That's what we mainly did when we finished 5th, just made ourselves a hard team to beat. We are showing signs of that form again. If we come out agaisnt Norwich and play soem nice football, get the 3 points, we will be in a strong position. I think we are improving all the time. You are aware setting up attempting to 'keep it tight' and hoping to sneak a goal out of no where are not the hallmarks of a consistently successful sides?

As bad as the £20 million dished out for Henderson was, £16 million for Jones has to be up there.

I know, I can't believe that that is what is definitely happening. Moaning about first halfs and second halfs because we never really threatened for periods of games against two top sides. People just expect us to control games for 90 minutes agisnt top sides without having any pressure to withstand? We were excellent today and last week, no two ways about it. Oh Brett, you're such a card.

True but the one thing different was we didn't hoof it. A small thing but still nice enough to go with the win. There was plenty of pointless punts/lazy passes flying about like.

Definitely the most pleasing aspect from today's game.

Quinn commentating on Sunderland again, might as well have got me in for the lunch time kick off.

Spot on.

How many times have we led at half time and come out as if sleeping pills have been applied to the half time drinks? Camping out on the edge of the area, kicking it long and inviting pressure have become a theme under Pardew, just because we got away with it today it doesn't make it acceptable.
