I'd take 1-0 to be honest. I'll be at the game, first time since wolves so i'm hoping for a good performance but 3 points is the most important thing.

Do they compliment though? They have the potential to be a Cole/Yorke type partnership. That worked because Yorke was happy with his role as the 2nd striker. Not sure Demba will be so happy in the role? Why not? Since he has played there we have won 4 in a row. What wont he be happy about? Personal glory Don't forget his contract is apparently heavily incentivised When he signed we were lead to believe that his contract was heavily incentivised on playing. A decent basic then a big lift if he plays, due to the knee issue.

His first few game (and goals) for us seemed to be first time shots. Or at least he didn't have much time to think about what he was doing. And when he did have time, there were several one on ones with the keeper that he missed. So it was encouraging to see two goal like todays. As if we needed encouraging.

In the split second between the ball leaving his foot and it hitting the net, i couldn't work out what was happening. I thought he's sky'ed it, then i thought he's just mis hit it. Superb finish.

Leon Britton is up there with the best passers in europe, the Xavi of the valleys. Hardly fucking surprising when every pass goes two yards / backwards. If they won a penalty he'd probably lay the cunt off!

A few weeks back i was concerned Ben Arfa would leave in the summer. He was barely playing and when a big foreign clun innevitably came in for him who could have blamed him for leaving. I think now it's fairly obvious to anyone with eyes he absolutely has to stay.

I've been highly critical of simpson in the past but i thought he played well today. No errors and a few well timed challenges.

Imagine how good we'd be right now if he'd stayed? Oh well, never mind Jose.

If you go in with your head like that, you're off. No complaints. Dissapointing reaction from Perch though, tainted anothwise excellent performance. If the likes of Suarez and co want to hurl themselves to the ground then that's unfortunate, i'd rather our players didn't.

I noticed Suarez defending loads in the first half, trying to protect Enrique. Something that won't show up on any stats but having them shit scared of Ben Arfa definately made them less of a threat. Lovely.

They fought like warrior poets. Or something.

Ashley needs to move mountains to keep him.

Did he skin enrique, or did enrique fall over? I was laughing too hard to see.

It was Raylor he got raped by Downing of all people Aye that was it, knew there was something swimming round the bag of my noggin. All the more reason to have a right go at them. If they haven't got the ball they can't hurt us.

My memory is shot to shit but i can remember one of our fullbacks getting bummed at anfield, was it raylor? Or simpson. God knows. I've forgot where i was going with that anyway.

Couldnt care less about the guy one way or the other. By the time he left he'd developed into one of the best LBs around, but it was clear for 6 months that he wanted away. So fuck him. I won't be at the game sunday, but if i was i wouldnt boo him. That said i certainly wouldn't applaud him.

4-3 to us. Last ditch goal from Ba.

f*** knows. So it's not just me? No, i haven't the faintest idea. Even if someone tried to explain i don't think i'd get it. I'm more focused on my cruncy nut cornflakes anyway.

Fuck knows.

I'm fairly sure he wore nike boots fairly recently. Grey ones. Could be wrong though, usually am.

If we'd have went at them the way did man united a few days later we'd have won.

I shouted "no" when he passed the other way, Cabaye was just about clean through.

Pardew mind games, he'll play on Sunday.

Can play anywhere. The new James Perch, tbh.

If Obertan starts i'm gonna throw something through the tv. Probably the cat.
