Yeah, saw that when I turned the telly on. It was 1-1 at the time making it look even more dodgy! Doesn't matter though, missed it completely anyway - just like the Newcastle resuylt as well (thankfully). Didn't realise just how shite Bolton are.

Two goals from wing play not enough for you? I know you're a perfect balance of naivity, piss-taking and attention seeking, but I couldn't help myself.

Williamson second most on the ground covered. Impressive return from him, perfect game to come back really. Hasn't convinced me yet but so infinitely better than Perch there's a goal or two saved a game.

Shola's touches in this game... man.... 3 points and hopefully some confidence for our defense, who weren't really tested.

Impact knock thankfully..... from the look of it.

Why the fuck would you bring Perch on? Seeing him ready to come on has removed some enjoyment from this win.

Second in the league this season, third overall. PL say its his 3rd in the league. Stoke and WBA previously. My bad, underselling his goal creating brilliance

Playing shite the racist gargoyle head. His attempt at a volley in the first half was laughable.

Cahill made to look a mug all game by Ba. Obviously under his skin. Gave him a black eye as well... Haha.

Second in the league this season, third overall. This is more like it.

Yes... Strikers goal from Ba. Another Obertan assist..

...and yet that was fucking beautiful. From the first touch on the interception, to Jonas's lovely slide pass, Taylor's cross and the lovely finish from Ben Arfa. Best would have found a way to be offside.

Not at all. Two teams desperate for a win, no confidence between them trying to score with every possession = embarrassingly poor second half.

60 minutes late Best is off.

Best having a shocker. HAS to come off.

4M they paid for Ngog... Related to Boumsong.

And hooray for our centre backs actually marking their players on set pieces.

Those feet from Jonas.. Lovely

That looked horrible from Best, but upon review it was a tough ask.

Absolutely. His worst performance since...I don't remember. Which of course made it totally impossible for Perch. That's not defending Perch, I'm saying he's a very limited player who needs a reliable defender alongside him. His worst since Bolton away last season. Coincidently that match is up next. He's prone to the odd horrible performance largely against pace. There's no way we should have been playing such a high defensive line when both of their forwards are pacy. Tactically that left us exposed on so many occasions. Obertan is copping stick for nothing in this match. He wasn't great but was effective. Won corners and the free kick that Ba scored from and actually showed some enthusiasm in closing them down. As usual he burnt out in the second half, should probably have come off earlier. Ben Arfa adds a dimension, that's for sure. That's now two ineffective matches from Best so he doesn't desire to hold his spot against Bolton. Perch goes without saying but inexplicably it appears as though he'll be out there again.

Norwich, Swansea, West Brom. 1 point.

This.

sigh

Demba Ba, amazing.
