Cabaye on the bench. Same team as last week but Elliot for Krul. Remy to be decided post-warm up. edit - Actually, Krul is starting, but not considered fully fit.

Yup, people are seeing what they want to see at this point.

Cabaye was willing to play against City but Pardew pulled him because his "head wasn't right". Cabaye then went in a huff and refused to play against West Ham. #truestory

Probably weren't expecting one of other players to cry off before kick off or for us to have bought someone. How do you know that Cabaye has "cried off"?

If you've got a problem come say it to our faces pal. http://i.imgur.com/Y9diUAD.jpg

Fucking hell.

Don't want him. Any player worth their salt would be doing every thing they can to go to Dortmund.

I think this is a complete misjudgement. He scored 16 and assisted 19 in his last two seasons in France. His conservativeness here is clearly a product of the management. The few times he has been allowed to operate primarily in the final third he's been excellent. This talk of him being a natural "deep lying playmaker" or whatever is bizarre.

mackem alert.

THIS IS A WIND-UP IT HAS TO BE

Ben Afra, Yohan Kabotz...

Anyone who willingly puts money into Ashley's pocket at this point is a pathetic, servile mug who must enjoy the masochism of it all.

Nice one Jonas. Great excuse for the ref to do West Ham a favour.

Is that all a manager does like? Pick the team?

Elliot Simpson Taylor Colo Mbiwa Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Cisse Gouffran Apparently.

Swansea have one goal scorer in double figures. As do Everton. And West Brom. And Liverpool.

@tommygun70 ‏ IF DI Canio becomes next Sunderland manager and they ditch invest in Africa I might go back #88 Could be a good appointment then, re-attract the disenfranchised mackem hardcore.

Crazy timing, is it possible that it's not the club's decision? Marty not being able to face the prospect of taking them down?

First time in 15 minutes we've put 5 consecutive passes together.

The guy has normalised shitness to such an extent that a big chunk of fans are simply incapable of seeing how unjustifiably awful we are.

LEAVE PARDEW ALONE!!

Tiote is so completely unaware of his own limitations.

Clearly pulled out and applied no pressure. Fuck off.
