If he is not I will be very very p*ssed off. Should be three matches. Yup. Anyone see Jelavic yesterday as well? Perch got so much stick for supposedly faking injury...coverage of Jelavic? Next to none... It happened in match no one cares about, involved players no one cares about, and occured against a team no one cares about. (in terms on media and the national/worldwide interest) Why would you expect coverage of this? Umm...because its blatant cheating, its got nothing to do with the teams involved ffs There are programmes in England which should cover all games and do, it should be highlighted more. It was actually highlighted on MoTD and they glossed over it.

Aguero hasn't scored outside the North West IIRC. What? Scored against Spurs for a start didn't he? I think that's his only goal outside the North West. The stat is something like that. 2 at Fulham as well, but not far off. Didn't think he was that bad away from home.

I'm not listening to Neville but I haven't heard anyone else blame it SOLELY on Balotelli, he is a liability though, that's clear.

He's still a big part of it, ignoring the sending off. His overall performance was rubbish. Start Tevez in that game and they would've done a lot better.

Disagree partly. Tevez is on a completely different level; if they'd been able to play him more and Balotelli less it would have made a massive difference. I wouldn't swap Balotelli for Ba or Cisse ffs Balotelli has great ability. I'd say with an imroved attitute he could be the best striker of the league - certainly better than Tevez. But Tevez has (normally, when he's on the pitch) the better attitute, fights for every ball and isn't a completely stupid person all the time. Balotelli's ability is overrated. Scores with his shoulder on the line and he's world class etc. etc., Tevez is still better, even if Balotelli stopped acting like an idiot. I would rather have Ba or Cisse like someone said.

Why was Hart timewasting on goalkicks at 0-0 when they need a win? Balotelli is just a mong and still overrated, should've played Tevez from the start.

Scratch that, he said he was nearly 100% fit.

I dunno, I think Ben Arfa said something along the lines of if he gets left out its not as big a deal as it would be in the past for him and he just continues to work.

He said he WAS fully fit when Pardew wasn't starting him.

On the MASSIVE Ba issue of not celebrating, the camera doesn't go on in immediately after the goal so he probably did celebrate after the goal went in...and he's just been part of a massive defensive effort, he's probably a bit knackered....

Can't be bothered to go all the way back...has Lawro's blouse been mentioned?

So not the Champions League...at all...

Downing is a smog

Put the kid who hit the bar on Ben Arfa's face!

Since Di Matteo took over they've beaten 10 man Stoke, lost to Man City, drew at home to Spurs and struggles to beat Villa and Wigan. Di Matteo's luck/honeymoon period will run out soon hopefully

Total twat, hope Barca rape them

Chelsea have got harder games than Wigan at home before the end of the season. Not over yet.

Stupid Dutch

Pardew sees him as a holding midfielder, he could take Ryan Taylor's role from yesterday if need be.

Cheers, haven't got around to listening to it yet but will do now. Enjoy when we get a mention. I've not listened but Top Brass is pretty pro-Toon like, went to Uni here. = Andy Brassell?

Hughton only has one home defeat is almost two seasons of Championship football.

Some Liverpool fan on their forum said they were unlucky because his header hit the post first...
