  1. The Best one was very unfortunate on our part. Was a quality defensive block.

     

    Warnock was all over the place though, seemed intent on injuring himself the way he was flying into the back of people's heads or throwing his body into ad boards.

  2. Matt are you still in Bordeaux? If so, what do they think of him down there?

    Yeah. Certainly very exciting player when he first appeared in the team, remember vividly seeing a mate after some cup game where Obertan started for the first time and he was telling me all about how he had run the show. Got shipped out on loan the season they were going for the championship because Blanc needed players he could "rely on" and that was the end of it. He was their "one for the future" player for a while but then they stumbled into this team that won the league and was playing Champions League footy, so had better things to think about when he left.

     

    Was pleased for him in the Summer. A move to a club like NUFC was exactly what he needed. Man United was an offer he couldn't refuse. He tried, it didn't work, good on him for wanting to play more. Surprised at just how poor he's been. Few qualities, and those he has, he doesn't seem to know how to use properly.

  3. He did a couple of things really well either side of half time which were promising... but then quickly fell back into being incredibly frustrating in his decision making. He is so slow in his execution that he negates any advantage he gains with his pace. Compare that with Guthrie today who knew how to quickly do what he wants with the ball.

     

    Strolled around a lot too when they had the ball on our right.

  4. There does seem to have been a shift in Pardew's approach in playing Ben Arfa thankfully. He finally seems more willing to do so and I don't think he'll be dropping him. Obertan did well coming on because he was used an impact sub. That shouldn't really make him worthy of a place in the starting eleven again.

     

    Ben Arfa has been poor and sloppy of late but he's also had absolutely no one around him to link up with. He was still our best player in the Fulham game. So he's basically had 1 and a half poor games.

     

    Our next game is at home and with Demba back... would be really silly to drop him.

  5. Will look to catch that.

     

    In spite of the way he left and his falling out with Shearer (which Shearer still seems bitter about) always loved the guy. Was glad for him personally the other night. He was ManCity's best player the season before he got shipped out to Cardiff. Just a shame anything good he does now will help the Racists.

     

    He was also the best player at NUFC the season he got offloaded by Souness. Funny habit he has.

  6. QPR is a team we should be looking to break down and with no Demba we're left with very little creativity.

     

    This could be a repeat of the Swansea game. Especially as he'll probably bring on Obertan before Benny.

  7. Would have been happy with Shola/Best if it meant Benny on the wing.

     

    This is just the worst of each.

     

    Well, at least no Obertan but Pardew is picking some really strange battles to fight. We better win.
