This is a bollocks selection, typical of the coward that is Pardew

It probably is true BUT he would have got some before the cut off date so he will need to hit 10 for a suspension I think

Was pleasantly surprised to see him beat players for fun down the wing

True, before the goal there was a moment where he chased the ball running like made for about 50-60 yards whilst Shola just strolled like he does best

He is actually, though it's tough for him since there is a lack of movement in this team

Some of the things he does frustrates you (offsides, not passing, daft shots) BUT he is a goalscorer

:smitten:

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Love you Cisse

Pardew ffs

Can see this being a dull half

WTF

numpty

I think that Byrne woman had a dig at him when she mentioned political circus

Think the SSN guy said he's got 8 now. He's only played like a dozen games though hasn't he? 8 in 19 in all competitions

WHAT A GOAL!!!!!!!!!!

Great news, miraculous his knee is still intact Amazing comments from Haidara, takes some strength of character to forgive that challenge, could so easily have ruined his career/life

I think Haidara and Sissoko might be

Think I might send an e-mail to the FA with the problem? face and QATAR 2022

Exactly, Savage is talking shite as usual The tackle itself has angered me BUT the reaction of others (former players, refs etc) is pissing me off It was a horrible tackle, baffled why some are reluctant to admit that

Was quite miraculous that he didn't get injured

The Nolan one was disgusting and the Guthrie on Fagan was bad Few other bad challenges which were/could be red BUT nothing as bad as those 2

Richard Keys is a prick

Firstly the pass is made is irrelevant, it was a cunts tackle on Haidara and secondly it was Yanga-Mbiwa that made the pass to Haidara not Tiote

Did he? The view they showed on MOTD2 was with a zoom lens which foreshortened the distance. In practice, the lino would have been standing in the other half of the field, more than 30 yards away. What's more, at the point of contact Haidara was between McManaman and the linesman and it would have been difficult to see with the right degree of confidence where the contact was made. We're all angry about a tackle which has put a young lad's career in jeopardy, but we have to be realistic about what we can expect from officials. They can't give what they don't see. People saying that Halsey could have sussed out what happened by what was going on before and after his view was blocked are in cloud-cuckoo land. No-body can say how long his view was blocked for, and in any case he can't send a player off based on supposition. That's basic. Wow

Used to be a fan of Martinez and wanted them to stay up BUT fuck em, hope they go down and if Haidara is out for a long time then I hope McManaman gets a lengthy injury :rant:
