his second goal that game was class as well. 

Still think it's probably the best brace I've ever seen. The first one gets overlooked because it wasn't as spectacular as the second but the first is still a worldie. Both unbelievable goals to pull out of the same night

 

edit: Maybe Robert's 2 shitpingers vs Spurs possibly? It's close

Santon got a lovely assist for the first too. Wish he'd been a better player for us. He had all the ingredients to be class

I remember Ba still getting chances but he wasn't taking them, whereas everything Cisse touched turned to goals. 

Quite frustrating at the time because if BA hadn't starting being a twat, that Ba, Cisse, HBA front 3 could've been immense. 

Is this official about Ba being a twat? I must admit Ba followed by Andy Carrolls first stint with is still my fav strikers post Shearer.

We do have to take into considerations that Pardew might have been the problem, and that it might not have been any problem between the two of them. If you are to unsettle a player just buy a new one in their position and move them out of their fav position, if that dont work try to swap positions on the pitch a few times.

 

Cisse first 6 months with us was fantastic, remember thinking how can someone that hits the ball so uncleanly score this many goals. The fantastic goal against Chelsea I do believe he is aiming for the top left corner and it goes in the top right corner because it slides of his foot(the first goal though was mint and perfectly excecuted). But after the 6 months he was a very frustrated player to watch sometimes imo.

I don't remember Ba being particularly dickish but I do recall talk that he made it pretty clear he wanted to play central? I would put a lot of the blame on Pardew not being good enough to manage the situation. Whether it be getting him to buy in or reaching a compromise, maybe mixing up their positions in-game but that would've taken genuine management.

Ba was an absolute monster. Thought he was our best striker since Shearer. Probably justifiably annoyed at being pumped out wide, benefit of the doubt given Pardew was a total pest.

 

Cissé was also class at points, and at times majestic, but felt more erratic and mental. Loved them both though.

Can't help but wonder in an even moderately more ambitious team and with a modicum of proper coaching that half season 'hot streak' he had might have been extended. So many players under so many of our managers started bright then mysteriously all the motivation and joy drained from their games...

Doesn’t help when you qualify for Europe and then your boneheaded owner severely underinvests in the team to leave to woefully short for the coming season.

I think that's the one he meant but Swansea was very good in different style.

He scored from a very acute angle with a bit of top and side spin in that game. I do sometimes wondered, if he meant half of his goals, as they were that outrageous.

That game was a masterclass (I know it was Pardew). They had near 80% possession but there was only ever one winner. It was a pisstake
