Is there any radio streams kicking about? The last thing that NUFC news bloke seems to have put up is a dance music compilation. Hopefully he gets the match up.

It looks more like it'll probably be Perez playing off Mitro rather than Perez being in Diame's link up role, it's what a lot of us have been hoping to get the chance to see for a while if it is that. I agree that Yedlin and Lazaar will probably be held back for the next home game.

Is this on TV anywhere? I assume the fact Champions League matches are going on is going to fuck up much hope of that. I checked Bein sports over here and they've decided to put the Derby v Toon match on at the same time we play QPR

Aye they look pretty fucked tbh, no doubt this will continue until they inevitably sack Moyes. Hopefully he fails to collect many points meaning any bump in results from their manager change isn't enough. Very confident we'll be swapping divisions with them for next season and honestly it's exactly what they fucking deserve, they've been hanging on to the bottom rungs of the PL since they were last promoted a decade or whatever it was ago.

I'd be more worried about tiredness if I didn't think Rafa had intentionally rotated the squad for the Derby game. I think there's a definite positive attitude in the side and I think we are going to see a bunch of lads vying to prove they belong in the usual starting 11 (whatever that is under Rafa).

I had that match on and I heard the commentator scream "SISSOKO!!!!!!.... Oh that was close", so I watched the replay and all that happened was he went to cut a pass back coming in from the right side of the box and he mis-hit it bad enough that it bounced off the defender and went towards goal. The initial pass was actually away from goal .

3-1 To Jamaal and the lads.

Well he played for Villa didn't he, it's just so he can feel a bit better about himself because he was too much of a fucking pisshead to be a proper pro. He's an insignificant tramp and can barely stay literate during his soccer Saturday rambles. Villa are irrelevant to us imo, points wise we were miles ahead of them last year and we will be again this year.

They're shit. They were 20 points lesser than us last season, have a pretty poor manager and haven't bought a whole lot of quality. They'll be a championship side next season.

Hopefully he scores one like that past the utter tramps Villa the match after we pump them 3-0. If he can show he can still get amongst the goals at this level like he did the level below I think Rafa will have a good problem picking out of him and Gayle.

Villa are shit, I said somewhere before the season started they would need a complete and total overhaul and a far better transfer window than us, neither happened. They have an average at best manager and a squad that finished 20 points worse off than us in the Premier League, if there are people among them that actually think they will be above us in 3 weeks time they are complete fucking idiots I still don't think they'll get out the division this season. Shit club, shit fans, where they belong nowadays.

Aye happy with that, dreadful game of football but it meant a comfortable win for us without expending much energy. I think it would have been a different game if Gouffran hadn't have scored quite early on. Derby are a fucking dreadful side mind. As I said before the game there were some odd choices in the side but I thought we'd win, most likely he was keeping players back for the game against QPR and if that's the plan then it has worked out well.

The ground is packed to the rafters, who can blame them mind they are perhaps the most boring team I've ever seen, do we really have to play them useless twats twice this season.

GET IN YEDLIN! What a crease that goal was, we time wasted so Derby never bothered putting defenders in the box.

That's what I was wondering as well, brought him on as a sub for a winger twice now. I'm not against it mind as he's rapid but apparently suspect defensively.

Aye Atsu started for Ghana, I think Lazaar can play wide left and we have Perez as well. We just need to get some possession though, I can't hack another 45 minutes of Derby making Jack Colback passes back and forth.

What a dreadful half of football, Derby are fucking tragic to watch as their only aim seems to be to keep the ball and never risk it.

Aye, to be fair he did score some decent goals when he first came before Pardew got his 'tactics' training into him. He'll be okay at this level if Rafa can get him attacking like he has the last two games, it's a truly shite division.

I don't mind Gouffran too much, Atsu was just away on international duty but Colback over Hayden is a real confusing one. The full back situation is getting daft as well, both Anita and Dummett still starting, Gamez isn't even getting on the bench now. I still think we'll win simply because the league is total fucking shite but there's some odd choices in that starting 11.

It looks like he gets his shirts from H&M the tight cunt. The black and white tie in all ffs

I agree that this is how they saw it. Also fully agree with DK and others that a major shake up is needed but it simply wont happen. For me Allardyce has already started getting them playing his way and the goal showed evidence of that, for the last 25-30 minutes of the match we were slinging balls into the box and packing it with as many players as we could which in the end is what got us the goal, a scrappy ball bobbled around the box until it fell to Lallana who swung a boot at it. We'll qualify but it'll be utterly shite, of course once we get to the tournament it'll no doubt be business as usual and we'll get KO'd by the first decent side we come against.

Walcott looked fucking shocking by the way, I know he was offside for one of his misses but Christ it was terrible.

Aye was about to say, it's all exactly the same. Total shite not that any of us expected it to be any different.

How do people like that get through life?
