Does he see himself as a centre half in the future? Does our coaching team? If yes then I'd stick with him at CB since we've got Haidara and Santon. Willamson will always be below average at best and I think its about time Taylor did something massively stupid again. A couple of games is too early to judge of course. But given what our options are at CB and the cover we've got for LB it make sense to give him a few games there and see how he does.

Agree with that. We'd still finish higher

Hard to talk about Newcastle as it always ends with 'we're screwed as long as Ashley is here'

He did win the Champions League with Porto you know.

With an additional defender or two he could do it with ManU. Not so sure about Liverpool and Arsenal. Would need to spend some serious funds with those two, especially Liverpool.

Mourinho would have gotten Yaya that cake.

Spot on that. Some common sense at last.

Oh really? NATO's been known to carry out bombings inside Pakistani territory, a prime ally on the 'war on terror', thats the official position anyway. International law Do you follow the news at all? 'International law' has been blown to bits and then some over the last couple of decades. If you think the likes of the UN have any real say on the matter you're only lending credence to ewerk's opinion of you. They cant do shit, you dont bite the hand that feeds you.

Aye. I actually like both Williamson and Gouffran but the fact they're not playing has done the team the world of good.

Cue Williamson and revenge of the hoofball

if there's anything we've learnt about the Pardew era its that the 4-3-3 seems to work best for him.

I agree. He does get bullied a bit and needs to learn you cant just lie flat on your arse and wait for the ref to give the foul though. The downside about this young attacking line up is that they're naive at times, give the ball away too much. Good sides will make them pay for it. Hopefully its something that will go away with game time.

Both cracking goals today. Janmaat now really showing his quality after a slow start, much like Debuchy, quality tells in the end. What a finish from Perez as well. HMHM makes a valid point about Williamson too. Most of this form has to be down to us changing the system since he's gone out and reverting to the 4-3-3.

Spurs

I think there's a fair few after him but Dortmund will have wanted to hang on for this season at least considering the players they've lost already.

What happened to Taylor? Dummet starting at CB. Cabella getting a start too.

West Brom draw a lot of games at home. Will be the most likely result.

He was incredible last year, just doesnt seem up for it anymore for whatever reason. You'd think they'd be gunning for the Champions League at least.

Aguero man...

Based on last week's performance you cant drop Dummett. Funny because a few weeks backs I was one of those who thought Haidara should be starting ahead of him. Interesting to see how he fits into all this, Dummett is far from an established full back and there is that potential in Santon that we've been talking about for years. Kitman's probably right, it'll be typical Pardew to try and sell him off.

Cant help but feel sorry for the guy. After finally managing to break into the side after years on the sideline. Somethings just arent meant to be.

We're wondering how long before one of the new spinners gets reported. Governance in cricket is a complete joke.

Excellent

Damn it I'd forgotten about Ken. Where is he? Quite an incredible series. Records tumbling right, left and centre. Thoroughly entertaining watching Misbah not declaring yesterday, batting just for the hec of it and ending up getting the fastest century record to really rub it in. What a surprisingly wonderful week of sport this was
