Demba's knee, Hatem and Pardew, Obertan's ever expanding cranium, we need to keep that guy from 24 on call or SJP will end up a smoking crater at some point.

Everton getting a bit close for comfort.

We're gonna have to change giggs to iphone at this rate.

The more he can learn the better really. I found it quite strange he didn't celebrate the first goal, but did for the 2nd (3rd also?). Maybe he had a strong word with the team on what he expected from the game. Really happy with him tonight though, team and tactics seems spot on He's talking about ATB. Alan Pardew, ATB, what's the difference? A winning smile and a way with the ladies.

Oh, well, good performance and a good result. Impressed with Obertan, looked a different player tonight. Shola had a good game too and Fergie gives us another dimension on that left hand side.

They went about seventeen unbeaten before this, right?

Neither side gives a shit anymore.

Wasn't he about five miles offside?

Yeah... getting injured for example. No need, we're 3-0 up. Rather get some of the fringe players on. Or keeping sharp and match fit. Don't be such a fanny.

Would like to see Ben Arfa tonight, think he could do something against this lot.

We haven't floated one to willo yet have we?

How can you be in football for more than thirty five years as both a professional and a pundit and not be able to say the word 'penalty'?

yes

Have we gone back to four four two?

Our movement has dropped, the man on the ball is struggling for options at times now.

Cheiks down, quick get the spare.

Cabaye looks much better pushed up the field. He has more influence on the game than when he sits deep.

Should have scored

Big responsibility on Cisse for goals. Nobody else in that team is in any way prolific.

Kind of sums up football fans really, everyone thinks they're going to get beat. Geordies, mancs, redcafe, N-O, everyone thinks they'll lose Guess the natural state of the football fan is cynical pessimism three one to them by the way.

For chinese visas we were told to use IPS, FCO or UKPA.

Full strength team please. Lets try and win something.

All these fantasy formations are pointless. We'll play four-four-two and the only question with Benny is how much freedom he'll be given to roam.

This is exactly it for me. I wouldn't be so concerned if we'd gone to Reading, played well with some kind of plan and fluency in our passing and movement off the ball but come away with a draw. It's the fact we looked so disjointed with no passing game to speak of and ended up fluking a draw off Ba's hand. Really I just think we should be playing a lot better than we are with the players we have.
