100% expected that.

I think the through ball and low cross are the types of deliveries he thrives on, not knock downs by tall centre forward partners.

All captains material as well (Nolan, Barton, Butt, Smith). Our only captain now could be gone in weeks.

Nigerian int'l tbf.

Nigel Adkins anyone?

I was already in bed when I got up to watch the second half.

In Pards' eyes it's Cabaye, Anita and Marveaux who offered f*** all.

Pardew -1000.

Shola was the OBVIOUS choice to go off. Striker playing in midfield off for a defensive midfielder. Textbook stuff.

I must say, I bet the crowd are just more sad than angry at our current plight, hence the muted booing.

Typical coming back from injury/lacking in fitness excuse.

It will be nothing like that this time, we'll stick down there for a while. My thoughts too. We went down with a s***load of absolute leaders (Barton, Nolan, Butt and yes even Smith.) We're going down this season with our only real captain looking at going home. Damn it all.

F*** of Alan. Just get out of my f***ing club. As quick as you flee to the tunnel.

Shola

Glad to see that they recognize only James Perch as back-up to Colo and Saylor.

Our potential strongest XI if this goes through won't have local lads.

Hope we get him on a direct flight to Newcastle, no more of those London stopovers.

How many times have we actually pulled of an "agreed deal" this season?

My word.

1. GW 23 Chelsea 4-1 Southampton Liverpool 2-0 Norwich Man City 3-1 Fulham Newcastle 3-0 Reading Swansea 2-1 Stoke West Ham 1-2 QPR Wigan 2-2 Sunderland West Brom 2-0 Aston Villa Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal Tottenham 2-2 Man Utd Southampton 1-2 Everton

Krul - 7. Top notch handling with their crosses, and saved their best chance. Debuchy - 6.5. Still clearly unadjusted to England but did fairly well. Not much on his supposed attacking intent, but the same goes for the team. Williamson - 7. Solid performance. Depressing when he hoofs the ball but decent game defensively. Coloccini - 7.5. Professional performance given the circumstances. No way past him, and his chance at our corner shows his excellent technique. Santon - 8. MotM. We've been slagging him off for poor defending lately but he gobbled up everything thrown at him and was decent going forward. Perch - 7. Good defensive display, summed up by his clearance to bail us out of Norwich's best first half chance. Anita - 5.5. Worst game in a while. Set pieces were terrible (That corner ), poor touches and not much key forward passes. Obertan - 5.5. Same as Anita that this performance goes against his current form, though he had a decent shot and did okay with Debuchy. Marveaux - 6. Not at his creative best today, but he was the tidiest passer and had the neatest touch in our midfield today. Jonas - 6. Went invisible at times but better today. His run in the first half at least gave me hope that he hasn't lost the attacking ability. Cisse - 5.5. Nothing came his way today. Doesn't work with hoofball as he's not that strong and it fatally isolates him from the team. Cabaye - 6. Looked unfit but had glimpses of quality that we missed from him. Bigirimana - 6. Not much to say. Pardew - 6. Decent team selection, the subs weren't that baffling, but the attack plan of hoofball is where he's not my fan today.

Not a bad result I guess.

Krul's gloves really do have some glue in them.

f*** me.

Anita today.
