He was fresh and put in a half arsed effort you guys are very generous

Was useless again yesterday. Didn't even defend well higher up the pitch or get tight to any spurs players.

Pogba with a stunning strike. Juventus are such a pleasure to watch, I love the way they utilise space

You're has been appalling today, he doesn't look interested at all some captain

I wish city had there reserve back five playing when we played them. Just goes to show how highly pellegrini rates the mackems

Its shit decisions like that which makes players crowd the referee and ask for cards. Disgusting challenge and should have been a straight red, inbred savages

Great team performance that. Dug in and fought like men

Im no fan of his but he offers more then Cisse imo

Worthless sub. Cisse offers nothing

That stop from Soldado was as good as I've seen this season. Redknapp just said it's one he'd expect any keeper to save. Redknapp is a clown who has no business discussing football

People are frustrated because shola is sloppy when he had the ball. Off the ball he's done well for me, he's even put in a shift. We need to remember like Williamson Shola is a very limited football but he's done well today for me

What a fantastic half for us that has been. Fairy play to Pardew he's got the balance spot on so far. Its especially good to see us playing as a team and defending cohesively.

Spurs paid 20 mill for soldado and could have had Remy for 8.. The mind boggles

We will do that. We have a shoot on sight policy.

That's definitely his trademark these days - if this doesn't work again he won't just tweak it for the next game, it'll be the whole blueprint in the bin and start again. It probably won't even be the next game, if Spurs score it'll be a complete formation change and nobody will know what the f*** they're doing. Plan depends 100% on exactly the same as last week happening - Spurs need to be absolute s*** for an hour. If it does work of course, we'll go with it against Norwich as well. Which is why he's such a piss poor manager. No footballing philosophy which to me is criminal.

I moaned at this against City and they put in a canny performance, i had half a moan at the line up before Chelsea and they won. Can see why he's done it, options are limited, Cisse out of form, Ben Arfa struggled up top, Shola has give us something to aim at. Agree with the person a couple of posts up about the 4-4-2, Norwich played it and hardly seen the ball, hope we can do better than that. Feel sorry for Anita like, he should be starting. Dont' think Ben Arfa/Cisse/Colo can have too many complaints as they have either not took their chance or others deserve to be playing ahead of them. We played for a draw against city and got beat in extra time, doesn't strike me as good gameplan. Shola serves no purpose apart from defending corners, To be fair I would have left out Colo for this and Mike and Mbiwa have looked decent. In regards to Cisse the man isn't good enough for me but Anita should be starting, when he came on last weekend we looked a lot more fluid and attacked with purpose.

4-4-2 With Shola ffs. Anita and HBA left out. Pardew really? Thoughts Brett?

Team news is about 12 minutes away BG

We won't sign anyone unless we are fighting relegation IMO. He's full of shit though, so we are going to focus on players who aren't good enough instead of trying to get the best talent we possibly can. Typical Pardew trying to pander to the public but he just gets it all wrong, we want to see the best players we can possibly attract play to there highest possible level.

I ve watched PSG a number of times this season and I really don't see anything which leads me to believe rabiot is top class. Verratti on the other hand...

Uefa have to give a huge amount of money to the clubs for participating because they fear a breakaway European super league. If there ever was a European super league then both UEFA and FIFA would throw their weight around and demand take charge of it's running. They did the same with the Fairs Cup when it's popularity was growing. Depends times have changed since the days of the fairs cup. With a true European super league why would the clubs even need a UEFA/FIFA. In the modern game money is the dominating factor, not major honours or international caps.

Just got home from the pub I live in Leeds for those that don't know and there was this Geordie lass behind the bar, wasn't bad looking and a Newcastle fan to boot.. She mentioned we beat Chelsea yesterday to which I smiled and replied Pardew is still shit. She replied with he's great and has a gorgeous smile. Brett you don't happen to be a female living in Leeds do you?

Martinez said some stuff about just resting him and giving an opportunity to Osman because the game will suit him. Cheers Ian appreciate it
