it was almost perfect too to Remy iirc. Indeed. BT expert co-commentator Gary McAllister was adamant he was trying to chip the keeper . Moment of the match for me. About 15mins in, realising there was no Michael Owen I've just spent a full minute cleaning my laptop screen because there's a full stop above the M in moment. What an absolute mong!

I can see the logic behind the substition. Waste a minute and bring a guy on who's absolutely rapid. He's a sprinter though, that's it. He'll never be a footballer as long as there's a hole in his arse.

Might scrape a draw.

They gave it to Remy.

Deserves credit but i wish he'd keep his gob shut.

The crowd will continue to turn up and buy shirts regardless though. If we go on a ten game losing streak, and Fat Mike goes to every season ticket holders house personally, and s***s on their living room floor, they'll still turn up. So why should he spend money when he can do it on the cheap? Surely better product on the pitch and results = justification for higher ticket prices, more season ticket sales, more merchandising opportunities, more sponsorship or corporate revenues? Its a simple business 101 concept that a supposed business genius has failed to grasp. Very odd to me that concept has seemed to be lacking with Mike Ashley; his lack of pride for something he owns is continuing to devalue his Sports Direct brand when its plastered all over the the pitch and such. I'm baffled by it too. When he bought the club we were told he was prepared to put £30mil a season in out of his own pocket, instead this season he'll more likely take £30mil out. For a bloke worth near £2billion that money he initially pledged is chicken feed, and an extra £60mil a year invested in the club would move us forward a milllion miles. He / we could have a club that we could all be proud of, but instead he's determined to do everything on the cheap and as long as we stay in the premier league he's happy.

If we had all 4 CBs fit for next week i'd still start Mapou and Willo, and i'm frankly astonished about that.

Was he reading it off an autocue? What a fucking douche.

I love seeing our fullback charge twenty yards to challenge for a header in midfield, because 9 times out of 10 he wins.

Ba wasn't even the 18 man squad. He's living the dream down there, for sure.

Too slow to be a full back, too small to be a centre half. He's the new Craig Moore.

For a midget he's good in the air, i'd start sending him up for corners and the long Debbie.

After the last two derbys i'd have him back a couple of days a year on a consultancy basis.

Well that's another evening wasted.

Highlight of the night for me was Jolean Lescott head. When most people are losing their hair / receeding they try to hide it. Style their hair in a way that disguises it. This guy basically advertises it!

If we'd offered the extra ten bob for Gomis we'd be in the next round.

Absolutely, total opposite of Cabaye.

That was doing my nut in 12 months ago, now it's just a joke. Made even worse when he complains nobody is passing to him.

Bank balance.

This side would have won at Sunderland.

hahaha Have you ever seen a team so lacking in creativity? Erm, yes frequently. Anyone seen Gangster Squad? Might give that a watch instead.

I was on first shift today and I'm knackered. I've decided to go to bed for a couple of hours but not set an alarm, hopefully I sleep right through this match cause I genuinely cannot be arsed watching.

I know hes prob not a goon like but Eddie Howe is realistic imo Eddie Howe might well be but if he has any self respect at all he'll last less than a month.

If Pardew walked next week Mike Ashley might as well just start picking the side himself, like that galah who was at Carlisle a few years back.
