OTF

Agree. It needs to be addressed as we're far too predictable as it is. Obertan should be brought on for Perch IMO.

Oh boy Tiote.

No more free-kicks for you today Demba.

Have a sook M'Bia.

The majority of our attack is coming down that narrow left channel so their defense is set up to clear it, we should be mixing it up and switching the ball through to the centre or the right.

Tiote is having one of his better games this season. Almost some good link up play between Ba and Cisse.

This commentator and his love for Fabio is quite frankly embarrassing and is wholly annoying.

Thus far we've had nothing down our right hand side.

Good linkup play between Ba and Jonas. This time the corner was to Williamson at the back post - oddly enough he put a dangerous header across the face which we can only guess is what the plan is.

This QPR strip is not nice, mainly due to the sponsorships. Pardew has called this game a must win - must win or what is the question? We just had a set piece where the ball wasn't targeted at Williamson at the back post and in fact Williamson was not even at the rear post.

Creativity and this midfield, hmmm. Looking at it I wonder how they're going to dictate the pace of the game.

Don't think anyone is assuming he's anywhere near a done deal, just offering their opinion on him IF he were to come under differing circumstances.

I've had the flu with a very painful throat and continual headache since Monday also. Nowhere near as bad as yours by the sounds. I'm getting nothing done on my holidays as coupled with that I'm looking after a sick and sore Mrs and a new baby. I'm not complaining though apart from this post that is. Still very much looking forward to Christmas with the family, gorging myself.

Losing to QPR would be bad enough alone, but Harry Redknapp... ugh. We have so many vital players out though, so I'm prepared for any result.

Some of the pro-gun arguments that I've heard in brief snippets of news feeds from CNN have been hilariously bad, made worse by the fact that the people making the arguments strongly believe them, so ingrained is the gun culture. My favourite was the guy who was suggesting that by being anti-gun you were somehow inherently pro-crime.

Ouch, you poor bastard. Hope you get some relief before Christmas.

I'm confused, are you for or against LM?

I perfored a 5 second cover my butt google before I posted, and subsequently shoved in the word 'same' as a covert coverall caveat. Would normally have looked into it in greater detail, but was on my way somewhere. A Remy and Debuchy par deux would be encouraging. If it's a stagnant window it will only hurt the performance of our existing players.

If Ba goes, he will be a big loss. Very few forwards have the same knack for scoring that he has. Have only seen very little of Remy. I'd say that Ashley will be less than reluctant to do the deal because Remy is younger, doesn't have the same injury cloud, and will be on lesser wages.

That about sums it up.

Someone needs to let Tiote in on it.

We've paid this season for having a disrupted defensive unit, not just our back four but also Tiote who was instrumental in forming a first line of defense. This season Williamson has made many costly mistakes, and Coloccini too has had more poor moments than we've become accustomed to over the past few seasons. Jonas has been moved around more than ever before and doesn't seem to know what his role is out there. Tiote in comparison to last season has been horrible, the bad aspect are still there but now instead of making smart percentage passes he's looking to pick out intricate passes, or worse, to shoot fruitlessly from distance. The same rings true for Cabaye, he was forcing things, routinely trying to hit impossible volleys or make perfect passes. This was the core of our team and we just do not have it this season. We're even missing Guthrie, who was able to step in when Cabaye was unavailable.

Strange for you of all people to highlight why LM is no longer here.

I looked at this picture long enough to see CT leering in the background. Butter face though.

He couldn't defend himself when he was here.
