Ghandis Flip-Flop

Think he'd be an Ideal impact sub personally. Yes he was poor in places today but I think people are conveniently forgetting a few of the great runs he did early on in the game. Particularly the one where he flashed the ball across the 6 yard box where Ba and Best were caught on their heals. Certainly not a write off but I think it would be unwise to continue starting him given the way Marveaux has played when given an opportunity

Tell that to a certain Mr Usain Bolt

I am starting to think he has compromising photos of Pardew at the minute as he's been the obvious person to take off in the closing stages of the last two games. If I were Marveux I'd be wondering what I had to do to get a start at the minute

Whilst I see what certain people are saying about it being early in the season I'd say we've been saying the same thing since Pardew took over, it has to be to his and the players credit that since he took over nearly a year ago we haven't really had a run of poor results. The odd one or two here or there but fingers crossed no big post Christmas Bruce style slump.

Can't remember Carl Cort being clapped off the pitch by Barca fans in the Nou Camp during a Champions League game!

he didn't play, what does that prove? That they had the option of playing him, something Wenger hasn't had since he signed for Man City 'durr'

You do remember that Arsenal weren't as weak against us as they were in subsequent games, it was against us that Song and Gervinho picked up their bans and Nasri hadn't yet departed either. Also how the hell can an away derby be classed as an easy game?

Yup coupled with Gilks having the game of his life/C****** and Nolan seemingly incapable of hitting a shot with any real power.

Disagreed there. Showed a disappointing lack of that. In any case, as said, any of Keegan2's qualities were irrelevant given that he had no intention on imparting them on the team. Eh? I'm sure he wanted to but there were 'just a few' mitigating circumstances preventing him from doing so.

I find it particularly amusing that one retard is basing his argument on Ben Arfa getting hauled off in the Blackpool game. Now forgive me for having a slightly different memory of that day it being part of a 600 mile round trip. Ben Arfa was a 72 minute sub for Jonas in that game and as a result I don't remember seeing him hauled off.

Funny that as my main memory of the lad was his eagerness to get forward and even have a crack from outside the box. Was unlucky not to score at least once. As for those apparently getting carried away, Remember just like a certain Mr Sturridge not getting a game in Chelsea's first team doesn't mean you're not good enough for 80% of the other Premier League teams.

Just hope he doesn't get a sheep's heart in this years secret Santa like the last 'next Maldini' we signed

Oh well looks like we can predict the rest of the draw, are Blackpool still in it? (teams that beat us away in 2009/10)

Well he's playing for a two bit London club now so no doubt the recall to the England fold is just around the corner.

After tonight I'd actually like to see it be Nicky Maynard his second goal was pure class.

Someone, who unlike yourself has a general grasp of irony. After most of the crap you post in here, having the brass neck to call someone else immature demonstrates, at best a brass neck of the highest order and at worst a serious lack of self awareness.

So from your general musings on here, I can only presume you're 18 or younger then?

So if you lain to have never seen more blind hatred elsewhere, could it be suggested it is you who is blind. You ever seen an Old Firm game? Ever seen a Liverpool Man Utd game? Any South American derby? Belgade derby? And that's just off the top of my head. Yes we get carried away on derby day, although to be fair I can't remember watching Newcastle fans destroying their own stadium.

That's Ledley king. Since breaking into the scene (1999) Ledley King has only been booked 7 times and never red carded. In fairness he's barely played more than seven games in that period

Youll be like the lass at the match I kept seeing with her adidas blue and black stripe Carroll 39 shirt during the championship season. Grown men should not be getting numbers n names on back of shirt like. I'd agree with you if the club didn't insist in producing shirts that look shit without numbers, I only get them when the club insist on putting blank panels etc on the back.

He bloody better wear the 10 as that's what the wife was told to put on my shirt she's getting for my birthday

just replied to that lying self promoting w@nker Morgan on Joey's behalf. Really can't stand the prick and despise how he is allowed to remain part of the UK media

Surely a limp from this kind of injury would be a muscular problem, which would be easily solved with intensive physio. I'm not worried about how he'll cope physiologically its more the psychological effect this injury could have had which concerns me

Why have they released a pic of the third kit before a pic of the change kit?

Yup what we need is a photoshop genius to construct some pictures of him abducting toddlers or something Get them put on twitter with the tagline 'Not so funny now eh?'
