Debuchy or Danny Simpson. Now there's a fucking tough choice.....

We're just over the line here in sunny New Zealand......happy new year one and all.......I hope 2013 is a great year for you and your families! Message to the fat man: get your fucking cheque book out!

I normally record the match and watch it next day without checking the score. Not this fixture.

Merry xmas everyone

Nil points. Hopefully we can go down fighting and not pick up any injuries/suspensions

Relieved at the result. 3 massive points.

If we get stuck into them and get an early goal, I think we can beat them easily. QPR have a terrible away record, and (according to nufc.com) Harry's pretty gash at our place when he takes over a team.

He can do a job if that means fucking every decent crossing opportunity and letting the oppo have a free run at goal. I agree with you Alex, we'd improve the team at a stroke with any half decent signing. He's not a purple, he's really quite shit.....

Probably not, no

I hope it's smoke and mirrors by Pardew. It's surely obvious that we need to strengthen defense and it's more pressing imo than buyer a forward. Unless Ba is leaving of course.

Pardew saying we're only going to sign one player. Fucking criminal if true. I can't believe they'd stick with Simpson for the rest of the season.....

We'd stand a better chance with 11 men, Aimaad

null points

Being sarcy? I'll get me coat....

Does Alec Ferguson ever let a decent player go? I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't sign any ex-Man Utd players on principle, they're usually washed up or shit. Edit: and Simpson isn't washed up.....

I agree. Would've given Cabaye a lift too. However I think the biggest mistake was making do with Simpson, I can't believe they can't see how poor he is.

I don't think Martin Jol is all that frankly. Fulham were poor and there to be beaten.

I agree Billy. He also got caught out of position up the pitch and I don't recall one decent cross. He also rarely tackles just allows the player to run at goal. We'd massively improve as a team with a decent RB imo, I wouldn't even offer him a new contract tbh.

Did he manage to pass? Ithankyew

You fucking love misery, don't you?

Just coming back from injury, could well have picked up another as he got tired

We're in for a miserable festive season. I can't help but think Pardew is bottling the big decisions atm.

A lot there for Pardew to work on. We give the ball away too easily; no point Cisse and Ba being on the pitch together; Jonas and Simpson cannot cross the ball to save their lives; Simpson is a liability going forward and back; Tiote is a shadow of the player he was 2 seasons ago.

Game over. Very poor. It's going to be a long season. HTL
