He doesn't literally try to take their entire defence on every-time he has to ball you know? If Sissoko made an attacking run, was free with noone marking him them I'm 100% certain that Hatem would try to pick him out if he sees him.

And be playing in a side where "picking out one of the teammates" means laying a ball back into midfield to either Tiote, Gouffran or Shola Ameobi.

What? You claimed that Andy Carroll was "all that's wrong with English football" and then backed this up with the hilarious notion of a "Carroll type" playing for Spain or Holland. Like there's anything actually wrong with playing a battering ram man, especially when he has the ability to score ~ 1 in 2

That's because you're thick.

:lol: Ah man.

The comparisons to Fergie's early Old Trafford days

So is Ben Arfa when he's getting a decent run in the side and has been involved in the preparations for the game, not just tossed on at some random minute and being asked to "make some magic." I'm pretty certain a large portion of our fanbase are Men in Black style mind wiped every time he's dropped for running a ball out of play.

Only every other? I suppose you can make allowances for not controlling every first half of football in a season. You expect to start the majority of your home games like that though, and away to teams like West Ham who are shambolic.

It's the kind of first half we should be putting out every other week.

"coward"

No contact at all the lying cunt.

Does Gary Liniker really need to speak to the players after the game? So pointless.

Sure I remember him scoring/assisting most games at the back end for them. It was that time when he completely poleaxed David de Gea.

Such an obvious wind-up, man.

They do like. Literally.

I'm a big fan of losing games 2-1.

Really strange to be having this conversation now like. He's played twice from the bench after a long lay-off. He was playing well for them before his injury.

Villa have been laughable in possession the last 5 minutes.

Took the ludicrous 9/1 odds for Villa when they were by far the better team, they're still just under evens too.

Never heard of him.

The only viable explanation for him not only not starting, but Ameobi coming on 20 minutes before him, is that Alan Pardew suffers from some form of Paradise Syndrome.

It was one of the best away performances I've seen this season, we completely dominated and played some decent stuff - could easily have been 4-0 at HT Which is obviously where you switched the game off.

He was FANTASTIC today. One of the greatest managerial performances of our time.

Assist

What in the name of Dave was that?
