On the telly! loving him already.

Some huge positives from the youngsters tonight + Marveaux = things to look forward to.

Credit to Scunthorpe, the bastards are not giving up.

Come on lads, dont fuck it up now!

Sammi, Jesus what a strike!

What the fuck was that!

Sammy lad, what a star!

Ryan man, Jesus you're a hero!

Haris and Sammy putting the others to shame.

At least we're going for it, but the finishing has been shite. Where's Shola when you need him.

The lack of forward play this season getting a bit worrying. Marveaux being the only spark.

Very progressive on the ball, trying to make things happen.

Tim kept us in it there

Liking Marveux on the ball.

Finger firmly pointed at Llambias. He can't hide behind anyone else for this one. Just proves, as if we didn't know, what a complete amateur set up we have representing the club.

Gutted he's gone, especially with the start we've had. Would be astonished if they release any money for a replacement. I'd say a loan is the best that Pardew can expect.

Noticeably rusty for me, caught on the ball a number of times. But he'll only get better.

Hope he enjoys himself. he deserves to tonight. Things could have imploded these last few weeks, and he's done well to keep things steady and help steer us to an excellent four points these first two games.

Really chuffed for him today. He always gives 100%, and I'm glad he's in the squad.

Looked really really chuffed at the end. Can't see any way he'd leave now, and it's great to have him here another year.

Really like him. gets his foot in and his passing range becoming evident.

By the looks of that performance, reckon they might find themselves in trouble this year.

Absolutely great result. Really encouraged that the spirit is still there - to stand us in good stead again this coming season. With another couple to come in hopefully, feel confident now that we'll have a decent season.

Saw in a piece to video that Douglas did for the Chronicle that Erdinc's club wanted 10.5m but we were only prepared to go to 7.5m so the deal fell through - for the sake of that 3m. Was interested because I don't remember him being that precise in print. Maybe we will go back in now, as they do seem to be mostly guided by Carr's judgement.

Actually good to hear from him. Puts all the media madness into perspective.
