He implied the linesman was to blame and stated that he thought they should all be professionals, like referees.

Would be nice if both Ben Arfa and Pardew are flexible about his position. The situation with the defence has made it more important that our best attacking players are on the pitch and if we can have a front six of Jonas-Guthrie-Cabaye-Ben Arfa-Ba-Shola/Best then you have to hope we've got enough going forward to get results. I don't think Obertan offers Simpson much more protection than Ben Arfa will, so this shouldn't be much of a concern.

Class.

Howay Wolves.

Was cringey that wave like.

Jesus.

Can't believe we're in this position where we might have to look at substandard free agents again, no excuse for it whatsoever. At the start of the season I thought Coloccini's nearly always fit, Taylor and Williamson are prone to the odd injury - let's hope the latter 2 aren't out at the same time and Coloccini retains his excellent fitness record. It was always going to be dodgy though, I'd like to see us take Bassong and one other in January. Bassong's versatility is an additional bonus that would do us good, could play him in either full back position at a push if needed. And like someone else said, by January I mean the start of January.

Phillips fucked him over as well, said something like "I played with him for a while and he's a confident lad, sometimes that confidence is more like arrogance", just basically suggesting he's a problem in the dressing room and has probably fell out with McCarthy, hence the reason he's been dropped.

He managed to fit in "or should I say Sports Direct Arena" but the funny thing was (re Sunderland) "they'd be happy to finish 4th bottom every year if they won the 2 derbies, that's what they're like up there". Where is this? Coverage for the Wolves game? Aye, that's right.

Kevin Phillips.

Ties are played over the weekend of Jan 7th/8th 2012. Ah balls, I just miss it then.

Get Balotelli on the next draw please. Anyway Blackburn at home's not bad at all, would be very disappointed not to get through that. When are the games anyway?

He covered Li Tie's arse first time around like, just ignored him and looked at the ball.

Yeah, he hasn't got a number wrong in ages.

Oh no, Lie Ti's done it again.

Haha, wtf, Li Tie said number 22 when it was number 2.

Bloody hell!

Bit on the transparent side, Jonny. Can't be real.

Someone on the Guardian podcast was speculating that he's got a lot of marketing clout behind him and it's not that difficult to believe. Funny though.

I'm not keen on it either but there's nothing stopping him, there's no rule that you can't compliment other teams' players.

Are you into fishing? No more than you are you into making sense
