Chicane

So he's gone from starting games against Benfica and Manchester United to (unsuccessfully) being shipped out to Yeovil Quite the career trajectory. If he keeps on this path he could be playing for my local pub team by the time he's 25.

I've got a feeling this guy will replace Ben Arfa for me as my favourite player. You need players like him, players with flair, guile and that bit of fearlessness to try cheeky shit like that yesterday. It's what makes football exciting. I don't give two fucks about paying to see Gouffran track back. I want to see players doing things, remarkable things which I could never do. AYOZEEEE

Coloccini has been individually responsible for several goals we've conceded this season, you can't blame Williamson for that. And since he is, you know, the captain of the club, the senior centre-back, almost certainly the highest-paid player at the club and he has been consistently poor up until the last few weeks and yet is seemingly undroppable I think it's fair that he come in for a bit of criticism.

Would hardly say he was immense like. Anichebe was giving him the run around for most of the game but it was a definite improvement on the awful displays he had been putting in in the first 6 or so games of the season. About time he put in a performance tbf.

Not long till we're hearing Pardew giz a wave, guaranteed

Great cross that

Cabella really is the new scapegoat isn't he

Tiote-esque effort

Cabella gonna be sent out on loan to Hull in January at this rate

Sammy doesn't look happy at all, like he doesn't give a fuck

Janmaat has such an ice-cold steely glare

Got the Chuckle Brothers playing on our left flank by the looks of it

What's Sammy doing there? Looking for his mam in the crowd?

Really liking Abeid

Pressing well early on

hoofballs up to Perez already

You don't get much for £12m in football these days tbf

Abeid has had a great couple of games but that's all its been - two games. I wouldn't go writing off Vurn's career here completely just yet. I mean look at Bigi, came in to the team and looked like he'd be a part of the first-team going forward and now look at him.

Probably a proper weirdo like Yanga.

I still hate the cunt and want him gone. Liverpool were absolute dogshit today, the Leicester game could've gone either way and we were awful against Spurs in the first half. I will give him some credit for the second half turnaround at least but I'm far from fooled into thinking we've turned things around that much. I could of course point out that Spurs had just played in the Europa a few days earlier but we would never used that as an excuse, would we Pards?

Paul Ince saying Mike Ashley should be given credit

They don't include transfer activity in those accounts, right?

Right then I blame Andy Murray if we lose this one. Too much momentum caused us to get overexcited.

Pardew is an unbelievable wanker. Throw out a makeshift team of kids, reserves, players just back from injury and/or out of position and then after the inevitable thumping throw them under the bus with some shit like "they weren't as ready as i thought they were" or whatever to protect his own back. Fuck Ashley as well, you know he probably had a word in his ear reminding him how cups aren't the priority. Cunts the both of them and the it's the young players who will take all the heat.

Four full-backs in the team
