Same as the weekend, Ben Arfa not even on the bench.

Think we'll manage a draw outa this, they've had a couple of tough games the past week and if Pardew gets the subs right we'll take something. Is Cabaye one booking away from a ban? It's a must he's available for Saturday alongside Tiote.

Getting a bit fed up seeing this, we didn't win them, move on ffs. Beat West Brom and Pardew could be in for manager of the month, when many thought he might be on his way out.

Long time from we put 90 minutes together. Would love Shola to get one early 2nd half.

Any links to this?

See Gibraltar making their International debut tonight, qualifying for the next Euros is their aim!

Awful decision to award a penalty for that, rameires was going down before he even touched the WBA player. Similar to the Arsenal sending off last week.

Boyata probably the weakest player, doubt we will be able to exploit that tho. As Ant says, get ready for a good dicking. 0-3 followed by excuses starting off with "we was...."

Joe Hart going walk about again, gifting Torres a tap in.

Tiote and Cabaye the only players that can come away with any credit from an attacking point of view, Remy and Gouffran did nowt, HBA offered very little until moved out left. Cisse, less said the better. Tin hat on here, I would rather see Shola up top, simply for his hold up play, with HBA and Remy playing off him.

Gave this a go yesterday, not bad. Like that it has a story mode as well as the different missions/races to do.

Didn't realise it was free either. Never a sending off, Chamak ran into him and lay down.

BTSport is free weekend for anyone wanting to watch 2nd half of Palace v Arsenal. Couple of games on tonight Inter pick of them probably.

Planned a day in the barrio Gothic,a visit to Montjuic and the Sagrada. Couple of other places she wants to go, Cuitadella Park and Park Guell as well as some of Gaudi other attractions. Me, be happy enough to get of the game on Friday night, but doubt I'll get to it.

Off to Barcelona next weekend. Anywhere I should go see, or avoid? Mrs going so will want to do all the touristy stuff.

Gerard ffs, was piss 1st half, 2nd he had acres of space to play in. MoM for me would have been Willo or Debuchy, thought Dummett done well in there too.

Lucky you! Local team not much better, only won 1 in 9 league games so far.

0-3, can't see us getting anything. Will try my best to watch, tho if it goes tits up early I'll be off down the park to watch the locals.

This. Might even watch motd if this keeps up.

Can't fathom pardews thinking, if he is dropped on performance, why are the 2 full backs in the team? Anita has done ok, Sissoko should have been the midfielder benched.

Tried it online today, done the first race but it crashed mid way through the next mission. Probably wait on the next update before playing online again.

Looks like Pardew will be playing for a point, dropping your most creative player to help cover the defensive frailties could see the end of him. Feel for the fans travelling all that way, long way to travel to see a team with little ambition in playing for a win. 2-1 to Cardiff, and more bad news over the international break.

I was also joking about Shola, although what other options have we up top. Remy and Gouffran are both better coming in from wide positions. At least with Shola he might hold the odd ball up and the others can play off him.

Will Shola be fit for this?

If someone had said we'd loose this by one goal before hand I'd have agreed, but the manner we gave away the 3 goals and the shite 1st half performance, I think we should be coming away with at least a point.
