Are you suggesting that the European campaign and missing Cabaye, Tiote, Krul, Coloccini and Ben Arfa for long spells due to injury isn't a valid reason for us dropping points? If Van Persie, Carrick and De Gea had been missing from Man Utd's team for long spells, they may well have dropped a similar number of points to us.

Yep, he has held his hands up on several occasions.

Again, the wrists being bent back because they like to pretend that the pretend phallus has a scrotum attached to it and thus requires cupping.

Ah, found another Dan Levy. He credits "infosportsplus" with the story, even though infosportsplus haven't mentioned anything about it.

Dan Levy? As in the bloke who used to be Spurs chairman?

Nice helmet.

They like to pretend that the phone is a penis. When you look away, they're almost certainly violently fellating the phone.

Bollocks. Someone quotes "infosportplus". Have a look at "infosportplus" - they don't mention Ben Arfa at all.

I thought it was Geordie-French for "I think it would be a good idea if Hatem took this penalty"

Quote from Pardew after the 2-1 win against Stoke back in March: "To be honest, I think we are done. You have got to get 40 points, of course, but we are now seven points from that with nine games left, and you would expect this team to follow through with the standard it has got now to be able to do that." The foot has come off the gas, hasn't it? (As much as I agree that you would expect this team to have followed through)

Coloccini and Taylor (or even Williamson) have a great deal of experience playing alongside each other. Coloccini plays the sweeper role with the other doing the big chunk of challenging for headers etc. I'd have him in the team in an instant.

Firstly, Man City is a cup final, so there's no points available from that one. Secondly, West Brom and Swansea are extremely beatable and I almost expect Wigan to pick up six points from those two games. If we, as I expect, get nothing from West Ham, we could easily be in the bottom three by the time we play QPR. All ifs and buts, but it's far from comfortable.

Cliques formed at Arsenal - the trick is dealing with them. Wenger can manage the big egos but I have no idea if Pardew is up to it.

They're appealing against the red card, aren't they?

To be fair to Neville, who has proven himself to be clued up tactics wise, he's not known anything other than Manchester United. Any club is going to look poor in comparison to their globe-conquering successful strategy.

Hopefully yours didn't come crashing back down to earth so spectacularly. In honeymoon terms, beating us 3-0 was probably the equivalent of the wife giving you a wedding present of a threesome. The 6-1 defeat tonight is finding out the other girl has hepatitis.

Aye, we've got a bit of a headstart compared to last time around. I've done my level best to stay positive, but Saturday has just wiped that all away. It'll all be fine at 2.55pm on Saturday, when we're odds on (in my head) to beat Allardyce's team of no-mark cloggers.

I share your concerns. It's time for Cabaye et al to get their bollocks out for all to see.

Is it smiling at me?

"shit, it's the Jarra lads"

Juicy? If anything I imagine it would be canny dry, given Pardew's rabbit-like history.

I fucking knew it. Pardew's balls deep in Ashley's daughter, isn't he?

His forehead is about to finish melting, thereby blocking his vision and preventing him from seeing. As this would mean he wouldn't be able to distinguish between brown envelopes and white envelopes, he feels his position has become untenable.

We've got absolutely sod all in the house, so it looks like we'll need to have a danger shop. Always buy shit loads of stuff we don't really need when I'm hungry.
