Ashley will sell if the price is right, that won't change based on European qualifications. Qualifying for the champions league would result in more money on incoming players and would also be used to improve and extend existing players contracts.

Yet another reason for us to qualify...

Interesting viewpoint. There will be interest, that's for certain - and I don't think that would change too much whether or not we qualify. Who of note did Villa lose? Gareth Barry?

Can barely believe that we're in this position at this stage of the season. Whatever happens from here it's amazing, but I do think we have a very good chance to finish in that top four. Our team is capable of beating any team in the league and we shouldn't be worried about facing Chelsea or Man City.

Hope QPR can keep this up all game.

Couldn't take that from Cabaye in my book. Two goals and an assist in an hour of football. Tidy. Otherwise would have to give it to the whole defeanive unit.

I've never met a woman called Craig before. safety wink

At this rate for sure.

Knocked the confidence out of them early on. Great team effort, good games by all. Was impressed with Santon.

6 in a row, quite an achievement. Pressure will be on Wigan next week after their loss today.

Married Phil Brown's daughter like...

Or with Jose Enrique there - though the Spaniard is the only premier league keeper this season who hasn't conceded a goal.

Shocking how often journalists and commentators get stuff like this wrong. Good run from Santon, kid has got some skill, could easily play in midfield.

To be fair if they gave you a photo and told you his name Italian would be a common stab at his nationality.

They paid 10m for then 30 year old Crouch.

Pardew also told Shola we're playing the mackems. Expect a goal.

Shola on for Cisse. Pardew giving Ba a confidence injection.

Good interception from Perch results in the corner. Colo puts a free header wide... Whoops

Ben Arfa trying to be a little too cute there in a dangerous area.

Bit of an ankle issue for Cabaye and he's off for Percham.

Cabaye! A beauty!!!!

Looked just ahead on the replay (if you're talking where he bundled Ba's parried shot into the net).

Bloody close to a second for Cisse. Marginally offside.

Another brilliant cross from Ben Arfa.

43 of 45 passes successful by Tiote. 4 interceptions and 2 tackles.
