Surprised that Demba Ba isn't receiving a bit more criticism here. (And criticism is what it should be. He's not deserving of some daft abuse.)

 

Why exactly is he leaving? He's playing in his favoured position and is scoring goals. Alright, maybe we're not preforming well as a team, but so what? He's part of  that team.

 

People mentioning that he was a free transfer and therefore we should be grateful for what he did for us (agree with that part), but let's just remember that it was Ba on the phone who was pleading with Pardew to sign him-up for NUFC. The favour is mutual, imo.

Why should he be receiving more criticism? He doesn't owe us anything and he has given his all when playing for us

I don't like this attitude of having a go at players that leave (it's different when they are cunts like Duff, Owen etc)

We happily accept players that ditch their previous clubs so we have to begrudgingly accept players will do that to us. All I personally want is 100% from the player whilst playing for us

Gutted if he leaves BUT it is out of our hands and at least the whole transfer nonsense will be over and done with

He has been brilliant for us and that is what I will remember

Not too sure Chelsea is that wise a choice, can't see him playing too often

We all know what needs to happen BUT we also know what will happen

 

Wrong thread.

How?

Ashley is the one who decides how much we can spend isn't he?

@OptaJoe 99 - Cheik Tiote attempted more passes today than any other player ever from a visiting Premier League team at the Emirates Stadium. Pass.

 

Yeah. Attempted.

Completed most of them

His problem is holding onto the ball too long, for the goal he could have played a simple pass to Bigi instead he held onto it and lost it

We all know what needs to happen BUT we also know what will happen

The moment that sums up how turd he is was when Tiote passed the ball to him from about 20 yards, at a moderate pace and he failed to control it and conceded a throw in, he then makes a point to Tiote that it was a daft pass. Horrid footballer and it's a disgrace we haven't upgraded

He was shocking in that second half, on current form nobody would want him so selling him is not an option

Let's hope he can get into some form at the ANC

WTF happened

Dat pass

Tiote FFS

Quality from Obertan

Yes, brilliant

Simpson telling Tiote of for passing the ball to him, ffs

Fair play Pards, dealt with that properly

Just goes to show just because you are asked you don't have to give everything away

CB and RB are a must, would be a disgrace if we don't get those 2 positions at the very least sorted

Take the Sir out of the title, he is a cunt

Please don't sit back now, keep on attacking

If Shola is going then we definitely need to sign a striker, 2 if Ba goes. Probably why Pardew wasn't keen on Shola going to the ACN

Why are there two back to back anyway? Can you imagine if there was another European Championship next summer like?

They are doing it this way so they don't have an ANC in a World Cup year

It is a joke that they have this every 2 years

Our number 9 is being played as a winger, it's absurd. He didn't sign up for this and I'm surprised he has been extremely patient about it

Superb ball and finish

3-0 Roma, Lamela

Brilliant goal, that's his one moment for the season (well Mackem slaying aside) like the Spurs goal last season

He is comfortably better than Jonas so he should be in the team

Wasn't a pretty game (Shola goal aside) BUT an important win
