Personally would have loved to have seen this at some point, maybe a cup game but it's not quite right for Arsenal: Santon Williamson Colo Ferguson Ben Arfa Tiote Cabaye Jonas Cisse Ba I do believe we need Santon, Ben Arfa, Cisse and Ba on the pitch together. Ryan Taylor should not be keeping any of them out of the team

I think if they get 7 mil for him they will take it. Add another 7 mil and you can buy a decent player. We ought to have a horrible summer selling him will be one of the reasons for it. 7 mill and take it? Are you taking the piss? The only way we would, would be if there was a definite release clause and we'd have no choice. No way are we selling Ba for 7 mill unless we have to. no one knows the exact details of the release clause but let's just say that it's all been a fabrication (why I don't believe it has), we wouldn't sell him for less than £16 mill

Yeah, mostly this. But let people enjoy him for Sunday and let him go back to being a villain whenever he puts in his awful performances. don't think anyone's calling for him to included much more

Even Simpson? My body seizes up whenever Simpson receives the ball and it dawns on me that he plans to 'cross' it. I'd prefer it if he didn't dash my almost non-existent hopes and just side-footed it out to touch

Poor Keiran Richardson like, you can't recover from something like that performance. Scarred for life the little mackem

Tiote is a sucker for play acting,should get it out of his system although Sunderland were dirty and deserved to be a man down even before sessegnon went

He's argued the point well. I really do feel we have until the end of the season to really see pardew's football philosophy in full,I really hope he starts to actually act on these words about Ben Arfa needing to be in the side but we can't afford to drop santon either.Taylor at fullback against arsenal equals a loss for us in my opinion

Just wanted to say a thumbs up to Beren,nailed my current thoughts

Great player,put in a class cross for Ba at one point.will be huge for us

I don't want him to get any more starts,just the odd twenty minutes but was delighted for him today.lovely lad and a bit of hero in his own poor way

Barton's undachieved on the field during his career none more so than in his time with us.personally,I think him leaving has been great for us.I remember the twitter bust up over the summer where he kept alluding to things and stirring even tho he was still an nufc player.that was pathetic and he must be a nightmare at times in the dressing room.one other thing,he is one of those players who is completely deluded and never takes the blame for things,terrible trait

In response to Hughesy,league position tells you how you've done this season,performances tell you what to expect for the rest of the season and we've been poor for too long now.this standard of play will not get us to a uefa cup place even though we should be ahead of both Liverpool and Chelsea considering how poor their teams are at the moment.I know that sounds silly considering where we were two years ago but I'd take our first eleven over liverpool's nobheads and chelsea's pensioners

Haven't read any pardew debate yet today but I think he set us up poorly in the first half,really poorly.we made all the wrong decisions and had no tempo.in the second the sessegnon sending off was more important than the subs.I really question our style of play but we were very disciplined and Sunderland had few chances.from now on Ben arfa has to start and santon should always be on too.giving a first team starting place to Ryan Taylor is very poor and not good enough.get your selections right pards and get the team working on actually moving it about instead of relying on wonder goals from Ba or Ben arfa to actually carve people up.we're better than that

We need him on the pitch for eighty-ninety mins each week,simple as that.our style of football is crying out for barfa to come in and add some actual creativity.the first 45 watching their centre halves head away every ball we hoofed in was disgusting

I'm on a toilet now,things have taken a turn for the worse

Had some bowel discomfort so far

As per cp40 Fucking come on!!!!!!

Can't even think of anything to write,just trying to pass the time. Just win lads,it's all anyone wants

Will struggle to fall asleep tonight.I hope we can put daylight between us and them and not have a horrible nail-biting finish.after the colo and krul news I'm even more confident we'll win,upgraded from 1-0 prediction to 2-0

Exciting week eh krul?you cheeky little dutchman

Hero,he's going to storm it tomorrow

Immense,f***ing immense.colo will almost definitely go on to be my favorite nufc player by the end of his contract

Howay the lads,give us some great news for timorrow

Expecting a let down here,ba and colo seems way too good.would be buzzing for weeks

Same, didn't read anything beforehand. Tells a story about how great they are
