Wrong. Pardew has set us up to play this way from the word go and it was a fucking woeful call. There hasn't been a SINGLE ONE long ball that we have won today. Fucking shocking stuff.

Fucking hell. Is this referee having a joke?!?!?!?

Never ever ever ever ever a free kick. Knew they were gonna score tho. Fucking shite

They've got way too much fucking space. We're not closing them down and we're not holding onto the ball when we have it.

This is fucking woeful. They look ten times more comfortable in possession

Why the long balls? Why?

We need to get in fucking gear

Shit. Another deflection

I don't think we need to do any hoofing to be honest. I'd love to see Ben Arfa on so we can keep the ball a bit better and see what happens. Not really given Ba and Cisse as much as we could do. The two of them look threatening whenever we give them a sniff. Up to fourth as things stand...!

Yeah, I don't see why we aren't just holding on to the ball and sticking it in the box for the Dembas. Seem to be going backwards whenever we have the ball so we can then lump it up there...

Can't remember the last time we had a favourable ref. Not sure if I'm just being a biased football fan or if we have been hard done by lately

Surely no need for us to be playing the long ball from Krul today. Seldom works out anyway/ Just keep it on the floor lads.

Merson's a clueless fucker

What did the cunt Merson say that he's right about?

Obertan having a nap or what?

Wow. Midfield is not there. Simpson very poor. Gosling or Abeid surely a better bet?

Enjoyed a lot of last season with Hughton, Nolan, Carroll, Barton and of course the promotion season as well. This season beats them both though, so probably since the 3rd place finish under Sir Bobby. Just don't mention Partizan Belgrade. It all went down from there. Only really enjoyed brief parts of Roeder's reign and when things began to come to fruition under Keegan second time round between Sir Bob and Hughton.

Anything from this game is a big bonus. As much as I was impressed with Guthrie and Perch on Sunday I don't think it'll hold steady against the Spuds. Guthrie really needs a Tiote type player alongside him to maximise his potential.

Pace isn't his main attribute. He's very fit, as has been alluded to, and we should get him signed up for a few years yet.

haha...

Yeah, I'm impressed with Perch but he's never going to be an imposing figure in the middle. Keane is linking up the play and proving the difference for them. Hopefully we'll break his leg early in the second half.

I think we can still push on second half but at the moment a draw seems the most likely outcome. We've played fairly well since Cisse came on but we are understandably losing out in the middle a little...

Well there you go then. Don't know how but we've won and we're up to fifth. Dembas back next week so we might have more than two useless sacks of shit up front. Happy fucking days. (Except that are central midfield is going to be suspect.)

FUCK YEAH OBERTANNNNNN! Brilliant!

Jesus fucking wept Phil Dowd you cunt!
