Should have told him to get the fuck out of the ground after he scored.

Ben Arfa can be as selfish as he wants as far as I'm concerned, he's a joy to watch and can always produce a bit of magic to win a game. If Remy can stay fit, I've got a feeling Ben Arfa will get a lot more space and be able to get on the ball further up the pitch too.

What the fucks going on like? We looked fucking good for the last 15 minutes there!

He's amazing. Agreed. He's given us a different dimension, almost like how Bellamy used to. We have actually looked very good for the last 15 minutes.

Ben Arfa can be as selfish as he wants as far as I'm concerned, he's a joy to watch and can always produce a bit of magic. If you can't enjoy a player like him then I don't know why you'd bother watching football.

Get the fuck in! I fucking love Ben Arfa!

For fucks sake someone just fucking score! Aaargh!

Now we look like we want to win. Amazing what a bit of pace and movement up top can do eh Alan?

We don't look like a team that wants to win at all.

Shola and/or Cisse need hauling off before the hour mark...can't see it happening though.

Birtles is right about us not bothering to get in the box, but I don't think he gets that it's more likely because that's what they've been told to do by Pardew.

Fuck off Shola!

This. Shola and Cisse have been awful so far... can we bring Remy on yet?

He was crap last season. Lets hope he's crap today too.

I've just remembered how much I hate Damian Duff... the little cunt always puts in a performance against us (funny considering how little he tried when he was here).

I fucking hate Pardew more by the day. In previous seasons I'd enjoy a newly promoted team beating one of the "big 4", but I'm so sure we're going to be in and around the relegation places this year that even 2 games in I can't enjoy this at all.

Yep, I've got the same feeling myself. Good player but I can see him coming back from injury, just getting into some form then getting injured again (and repeat all season).

90 fucking minutes of this cunt? Someone shoot him please. If he was a horse he'd have been put down years ago ffs.

Still got skinned at least once, also I've yet to see much attacking threat from him, crosses were poor today. Looks slow too.

So our team news leaks out the day before the game, after Pardew has been on about "spies" etc and trying to keep things under wraps. It's just another example of what an utter fool he is. Anyway, happy with that team bar Shola. Just hope we go out and attack them and dictate the tempo...I can dream at least.

What is this shit? It's not as if Taylor's a beast in the air himself, and add in his lack of positioning, tendency to give stupid handballs away in the area, backing off his man allowing a free shot, and now stupidly getting sent off and putting the rest of the team in the shit, I don't care if he's good in the air, he's a liability. But he's a geordie and he likes pumping his chest...seems that's enough for a lot of people.

I'm not sure what to make of it TBH. It could just be a natural reaction to being so badly outplayed on the night. We'll see if we manage to pull it together in the next few games. If not, serious repercussions for Pards. Yeah I agree with that, my next concern is that serious repercussions for Pards will result in JFK taking over...

A win there would be absolutely enormous like as well as, on the basis of last night, a massive surprise. But it's a new week. Who fucking knows? Can't believe NOTHING improved, man. Not even the basics like discipline. It perhaps wasn't the best game to judge us in, as they terrified us from kick off. Just far, far too much pace and movement. Any team out there would have struggled to contain them. Some might have dealt with it better, but not many. We don't play Man City away every week, though. The next four or five games will give us a better idea of where we're at this year. I just hope we get the bodies in that we so obviously need. Yep. It's hard to take watching your team being totally unable to compete with Man City, after the success we've tasted in our lifetimes, but sadly that is the fact of how far certain clubs have moved ahead of the rest. City will hand out comfortable defeats to most of the league this season. I still have mixed feelings about the season TBH, the Cabaye thing is a setback obviously. But on the pitch, we got the inevitable beating and just need to move on now. It's the manner of the defeat that bothers me, half the team looked like they wanted to be somewhere, anywhere, else. That doesn't fill me with much confidence for the rest of the season.

This is even more pathetic than I expected. So, when does JFK take over as manager?

Owen talking about playing with Enrique at Liverpool...what a fucking bell end. Get him off my tv!
