Whatever happens in the derby i hope our fans don't repeat the scenes of last season, was embarrassing. Although more sensible people will realize that a minority of fans behaviour, does not represent the club and fans as a whole.
I still have a glimmer of faith in Cisse rediscovering form, as we have seen him at his best. Shola has been here for 13 years and he has probably had about 15 good games in that time.
Pardew would bench Messi because he doesn't work hard enough defensively, completely forgetting all the things he does which benefits a team. The bloke is a moron .
I agree with this, the fact that debuchy will get the full shafting from the FA for this, is mental considering the tackle on haidara last season. I would be more supportive of the rules, if they were more consistent.
The problem also is that the team expect him to be selfish, and everyone just seems to stop still when he has the ball at his feet, rather than showing for him.
I am all for blood and thunder type players, but how a professional footballer could have such a brain fart, just baffles me. He has been one of our best players recently, and we weren't even losing at the time.
