Would be astonished if he starts santon or Ben arfa.I think pards will come out of it pretty badly if he keeps saying arfa is not fit when he's clearly a better option than best,shops,loven,Sammy and obertan right now.personally if dropping Simpson and obertan is an impossibility for pardew I'd go with ferguson and santon on the left very soon,maybe not tonight with Valencia though

I watch little Italian football but I'm sure it's Iaquinta I remember from the last world cup. He was absolutely tragic

PhilB is a liverpool fan, not a very level headed one though

http://www.redcafe.net/f7/gif-request-thread-338145/index13.html I can't remember which page it's on, but the last five or six have some. There aren't that many but the ones on there are just appalling Do you have a link to the redcafe thread? Would love to see all of them.

'Never, I never, I repeat never have I tried to con anyone on the pitch, dived, misled people, gone in with horrific intent or acted in a racist manner' You're a fucking liar as well as everything else you piece of shit. I watched some of the gifs on redcafe of Suarez diving and it's just disgusting, worse than Drogba and cRonaldo at their diving peaks. You deserve all the shit that comes your way

Pathetic response from Liverpool. such an embarrassment the way they're so defensive and unwilling to accept blame. People generally respect people who hold their hands up, not people who act in a racist manner then say none of it actually happened

FYP

Suarez playing tonight? If so, I hope Kompany KOs him

Should take some lessons from lambert.play positively not defensively,play an open,attacking game because we can.we have the players to attack teams not piss our pants and just wait for counter attacking moments.he really needs to show some balls next game up and stop making ludicrous decisions in wing positions and full backs to a lesser degree

I know some people think delap is the worst player in the Pl but for me it's jay bothroyd.compounded by the issue that he thinks he's quality

Ferguson's direct and hasnt shown any fear in the past.Sammy in contrast has looked low on confidence at times

Raylor would be better offensively than obertan but worse defensively.Barton could pick a pass,hold up the ball,play it well along the floor,press his man incredibly well and tackle better.our right side is definitely our main weakness and pardew has greatly contributed to this

Our right side would be a disgrace with both raylor and Simpson.raylor can cross a ball and strike it,that's his only real asset.Simpson,I really don't know what he offers apart from good last ditch tackles

Not going to get excited as I think pardew fundamentally fails in personnel.I would love to see ferguson but this has got Sammy written all over it and there's no chance of Ben arfa as he's 'not there yet' in spite of making big impacts in several games

Credit wacko.I feel sorry for honest,thoughtful pool fans.must be a joke arguing with some of those fools on rawk

I don't know a single person on here but I always appreciate the sharing of info and incredible knowledge of many posters.I didnt think forums could be funny until I came on here.cheers lads,especially the mods who tidy up all the shit

they press really well, for anyone who's not good on the ball it's causing problems. Vuckic himself is actually good on the ball but is being shown up today

Just do them lads, just go out there and show some real fight. You can do it NUFC

Yeah it's weak to do the thing that the fans don't want him to, the easy option is play Ben Arfa as that is what everyone is clamouring for. My thoughts are that Pardew is easing him in, and determined not to risk him when he doesn't have to. At the minute he's clocking up experience and time ready for the extended run he'll get when Ba jets off to the cup. I think it's weak to stubbornly believe you're right even if evidence contradicts it. Hatem said he was almost completely fit. Him at 80% is a better option than Obertan and a better option than Vuckic. I really like Vuckic, think he's a great passer and has a cracking shot but he's not as important a player as Hatem is and can't influence a game like he can. I think there is a cowardly element to it because Hatem's a risk taker and not a percentages player

Real insight into Pardew's mindset, obviously quite immature in the way he is not willing to balance things up. Ok, Ben Arfa maybe hasn't tracked his man as many times as (insert any player Pardew likes to put his dick into) but what he offers in attacking play is something other players just cannot. I think it's pathetic from him, just weak

What do you still enjoy about football HTT? I'm sure I remember you writing that you were falling out of love with it a while back. What keeps you there, habit, tradition? Or just the love of the actual game

I totally agree about our passing Johnny. I think we're less of a passing side at the moment under Pardew than we were under Hughton. Losing Enrique affected our passing a lot and we're lumping the ball forward far too much at the moment. Think Cabaye and Santon can be instrumental in making us a passing team, both HBA and Vuckic as well but whether they'll ever all play in the same team or not...

you can see this lad ruining his career completely due to his attitude.

His skill on the ball is great,he wont score many but he'll get assists and do loads of build up play neesy.either way,he's a fairly complete player for a LB

He definitely made a mistake but so did city when they bought clichy.Jose is much offensively and defensively.only major flaw with his game these days is shooting,his crossing has improved loads
