Tiote 5, what the fuck! He had a smashing game today.

My lass doesn't even fancy him that much, it's just me. Getting a bit embarrassing now. Her mate fancies the pants off Pardew though.

Wouldn't even dream of bringing sunglasses out with me in October.

Hugely satisfying win this, looked like it had 0-0 written all over it from about half an hour onwards. And Tiote's my favourite player again.

He is such a fucking dreamy cunt.

If you think that then fair do's, I can't remember him showing up for us at all in the Premier League. Everton away possibly excepted. Maybe my memory's playing tricks. Obertan just needs to be on the bench now, it's as simple as that. I'd forgive him his faults if he showed signs of having a footballing brain with the things that he does on the pitch but I really don't see it. Saying that I'm more than happy with him as a squad player, he's fine in that respect. Marveaux looks so much better that it's getting a bit stupid now though.

Cabaye FGS, 4-1 us - 200/1 Ba & Ben Arfa both to score - 9/1 Us, Villa, mackems-Bolton draw - 9/1

Thats not bad. We're re-writing history.

Wow.

As much as I like Pardew's commitment to playing Ben Arfa centrally I think he's being a bit daft by implying he'll never feature on the wing.

Depends if he's including Ben Arfa.

Lass yapping like a nutter, what did Pardew say about lightbulb-heed?

This guy's not shy like.

"Alan, ah think you're deein' an absolute crackin job".

Yip, i got that impression. Could have easily meant it either way imo. I reckon it'll be stronger than the last couple of rounds but not our first choice side (a few changes). We'll see.

"Millions of emails".

Not liking the strips here, looks like a bunch of highlighter pens.

There are 17 Villarreal fans there?

On MOTD2 first.

Total jinx thread, we'll lose all six of them games now.

Think last season he was reasonably solid, maybe because of Barton ahead of him, and got a lot of unfair criticism. This season he's been very poor, although he has obvious off the pitch issues to deal with. At the minute I'd rather have Ryan Taylor than him, couldn't imagine saying that 2 months ago. Must have completely missed this, what are his off the pitch issues?

Out of our 8 league games so far: Has came on as sub 1 time (46 mins) Subbed 3 times (once on 85 mins, once on 88 mins, once on 90 mins) Played the full 90 4 times Has clocked up a hell of a lot more minutes than I was expecting as I say.
