Aye. You cant have 8 top players injured and expect the same quality on the bench.

I can see Pards aiming for about 4 points from that run in, maybe 5. Heck I'd take 4 to be honest

Confirmed- he's not playing. Not great news that.

Brilliant effort from Bosnia. This is what makes football special

Rumours about Colo being unfit for this one. Hope thats not true, we're likely to ship another 3-5 goals if it is.

We're already playing with 3 central midfielders.......

Suarez and Sturridge will make him go around in so many circles there'll be a freakin tornado on the pitch. Yeah he did alright at Cardiff apart from that gaffe, but thats just it, he's quite likely to do something similar again.

Perch?

Wasnt that funny when it happened though

Aye, I was just thinking there'd be a riot here if West Ham did that to us. Not trying to defend some of our performances, but its a crazy crazy league these days.

The result at White Hart Lane is a shocker considering how the two clubs have started the season. The league is more unpredictable than ever. Or perhaps competitive would be a better word here.

Im just about satisfied, after having gotten into my head that we have no ambition whatsoever. We'll survive but expect nothing special while Ashley is here. Simple as that.

Well said. Spot on about Mapou, Gouffran and Ben Arfa. Liverpool is going to be a huge test. Their free flowing attack with both Sturridge and Suarez in form is going to prove a real tester for the any defensive improvements we may try to make during the next couple of weeks. Although having said dont we already spend the majority of training on defence?

It was Henry-esque

He's having a decent season so far.

Supposed to be highly rated, obviously you can see why now after tonight. Slightly like HBA in the way he runs with the ball too. Sunderland really are shite, Man U didnt even need to move past the second gear to beat them. Then again they were shite before the derby last season too

Santon and Sissoko were the frustrating ones for me today. Both missed plenty of simple passes. Santon caught out of position a fair few times too, as usual. Still funny though how some people have had a dig at Debuchy and not him, because I didnt see Debuchy do much wrong today. Cisse was better on the whole, worked harder and the hold up play was a bit better. Just wish he would find a premiership goal from somewhere. Lucky for us Remy is banging them in at the moment.

Thank heavens for that, I was sure we were going to throw it away. Nervy second half but a deserved win in the end. Can have a peaceful couple of weeks now.

Despite the fact it happens nearly every week, never ceases to amaze me how we suddenly fall apart.

Williamson :lol;

Class half. Brilliant stuff from Remy. And that freekick from Cabaye, so unlucky We need to perform for the whole game for a change though. We've battered them but this isnt over.

No but the rumours are coming in from everywhere including those people on twitter that got the lineup spot on last time well before the official one came out. I agree. Its just so stupid. Whatever little sympathy I've left for Pardew will be gone if he drops HBA.

No HBA then?

Yikes!

The team around you matters with for every player to be honest.
