That Norwich result at white hart lane is a great boost for us as well. Here's hoping the media focus on Chelsea's chances of snatching fourth - with all their distractions between now and then a little added pressure and speculation can't help.

Two good saves from him for sure. Helped by some pretty ordinary finishing. Hatem MOTM.

This run of results is fantastic.

This win is all down to Ben Arfa. Nice touch from Pardew to give him a standing ovation with the sub.

Cisse again. Great work from Ameobi, despite him doing it with the intencity of a training cool down session.

Think Maradonna. Ghost turn and then drifts past 5 to slot. Drooling at the thought of seeing this. The touches throughout were perfect. Just on another run there....

Stadium and the team suitably lifted. Just hope we don't push too high.

Lads, this is how you do it. HBA you fucking beauty!

Still disappointing as he was clapped off the field. No need for it.

Eagles should be on a trick.

Someone give CT a buzz, tell him to put the pie down and give the atmosphere a pep.

Trying to win a penalty off the back of Wheater's defending doesn't look too bad an option.

Forgot Simpson was out there.

Our corners have been woeful.

Nice point blank save from Krul.

All of our shots (5) have come from outside the box. But never mind Ferguson is on, replacing Perch. Positive early move from Pardew

Forgettable first half with plenty to talk about in the sheds at the break. Individually personnel are doing ok but the teamwork and the spark just isn't there. Definitely some hangover from the tactics against Swansea I feel. At the same time Bolton have defended well and look the fresher of the teams despite having played more recently.

A yard off being into the perfect area from Ben Arfa. Not gelling as we are at the moment should be looking to get as many set pieces as we can at them.

Not sure why 'advantage' was played then, 'twas bloody advantage to them!

Colo takes it on himself after some pointless Swansee-esque passing and very nearly lays one on for Ba.

Bit of a hangover from the Swansea match, and credit to them also for keeping their intencity up.

Also in Australia, so there should be some feeds out there.

And if not you can always slip em something like normal. Their best player is Petrov on his day. Hope he's not interested today.

Crazy that there isn't any serious talk about his sacking. Sure he might have a connection to the club and the fans but there's no connection to the yanks that are bank rolling their sinking ship. One could only reason that their Carling Cup win is one reason, the other, the fact that they're still in the FA Cup. With their current form exit from the FA Cup is a likely outcome (annoying for us). If that happens they would have to consider getting rid of him so they can give the incoming manager a rolling start for the offseason. More power to everyone else the longer they keep him. Hansen on MOTD last night talking about backing him to the hilt, whatever happens, is the sort of deluded mindset the rest of the lfc fans have What exactly are they backing though? Carling Cup aside he's shown no redeeming features as a manager. To keep their current level of wages in place they'll have to be pushing for champions league football as there's little in winning the domestic cups. In the meantime their blinding loyalty is good for everyone else.

No. Williamson was good against Swansea. His height is an asset both in defending corners and taking them. Perch is better as a midfield spoiler without a doubt.
