Wow. What a discussion.

Good enough for me, I'm lumping on Williamson. Bet you are, crushing over Mike still I bet.

God that's one of the most awful things I've ever read.

Cisse has to earn his shirt for me. Remy in a way, could be the best thing for Cisse - because he only had Shola and a kid for competition previously. I'm hoping he responds positively and knuckles down (although sadly, I don't think his recent malaise is because of a lack of application). He needs to make the most of his substitute cameos and deliver in training to get back in because he hasn't been up to task for too long. He hasn't always got the right service etc, but when he has, he hasn't been good enough - and given his limited attribute set, if he isn't poaching and putting away chances he doesn't deserve pitch time if we've got Remy available to do the business. [/iMO] Agree, he's been wild and sometimes downright stupid with his finishing lately. Like you say, hope he knuckles down and tries to force his way back in. Can see him moving in Jan however, the whole Wonga debacle is still lingering over him I feel. Ronaldo; Ben Arfa's best performances have come at RW, of course, however it's worth exploring the idea of having him through the middle to free him of any defensive responsibilities, I believe he's good enough to be effective there it just needs to take a run of games imo. Beardsley he is indeed not, I was just making the comparison in terms of position.

Agree somewhat there Beren, I wouldn't mind seeing Ben Arfa playing off of Cisse, (in a Beardsley type role), however who would you drop to accommodate Cisse? I'm really not sure at all.

We scored two, they also scored two. Mapou was sent off. Suarez is a cunt. Top man

General recap for a sadlad who missed the game cos he was visiting his Nan?

Is Hatem a false 9?

Don't.

Ben Arfa is such a babe. Everyone loves him.

Loved the Ryan Taylor bit, really do feel sorry for him and it's wicked to see he is at least somewhat involved with the team.

Jack Cork was the year above me at school, played against him a few times during house football

I think Poyet will keep you up this season, be interesting to see what happens in the summer, another wave of new players?

Think Richards is quality, would love to see him here. Would be some much needed competition for RB

Yeah, but it'll be some complete cock and bull story with any truth completely obliterated into the realm of fantasy.

:lol: fucking class "By Caroline" You fucking creep :lol:

Why does that fellas eyes look so strange. He's almost doing this >_<

Get the feeling this will be similar to Southampton away last year, christ that was one of my most depressing away days.

Lunacy to even consider dropping Ben Arfa, yet I wouldn't be surprised tbh. If Pardew does bottle it and revert back to 4-4-2 with the usual suspects, he should be sacked on the spot.

I think Debuchy needs a bit of a kick up the arse though, in a similar way to Simpson, he knows he's got no competition so doesn't have to worry too much. Agree though we need to play the 4-3-3, Ben Arfa back on the right where he's far more effective.

Agreed. Whenever he plays fullback he looks far more comfortable to me, he's also decent at skinning people as we've seen* so it's worth a go. *Can't remember the game exactly, but he was left back and he managed to blitz down the wing a few times and offer some actual width.

Awful player, furious he started.

great fans, sorry I just figured he'd seen that fat lump who loves taking his shirt off all the time.

Big fans, he taking the piss or what?
