The Prophet

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.

Cracking work rate combined with quality and intelligence on the ball. Love him.

Glass half empty. Second half was poor but you should still be able to take some positive things from an away win against Spurs after winning Chelsea 2-0. Clean sheets on both of those games is amazing and Pardew should get some praise instead of this 'papering over the cracks' s***. Well executed game plan against Chelsea, credit where credit is due. We've seen today's performance before, positive first half, lackluster second. Krul kept us in it.

Paper over the cracks ? I think a performance and win like that pours cement into the cracks and makes us a more solid confident side. You mean like the Villa/Liverpool performances? Liverpool game we were great until MYM went off and even then we battled hard, its a huge turn around from the side that fell apart way to often last season. Spectacularly missing the point there.

Mike and Tiote have been outstanding of late, long may it continue.

Criminal at times in the second half on and off the ball, he's clearly talented but he's isn't learning from his errors.
