Dembas, if you can hear me, we need you.

Obertan and Lovenkrands crying in each others arms.

Now have to put up with the commentators carry on.

Gosling at the ready.. for who?

Anyone surprised?

My river has gone to shite, would appreciate anyone messaging me with one that'as going strong tks.

Nice whistle work there. They've not created any meaningful chances despite us being poor. A rocket up our lot from Pardew in the break will hopefully improve things.

Cabaye very lucky to avoid injury there. On the replay looked a straight red every other day of the week.

Lovely ball from Ben Arfa and a very good run from Simpson.

Santon just wrong footed very badly there, was lucky to recover. I wonder whether it's because he's right sided?

On the deck is best for Leon.

Good work by him (Best) then...

Best looks like he's in slow motion when he has the ball at his feet.

Hope he does a good job there today, He has had a good season so far. FFS, you clearly have not watched any of his earlier matches. The only times where he hasn't been shit are when he's come on as a very late sub just to close down space in the midfield. However, I hope some kind of freaky friday thing happens a day late and he has a stormer.

Perch centre back? Will we see it again?

Better than the existing one simply because it actually has stripes.

Best looks a right monster standing in front of Ferguson there.

I'm with DEADMAN.

Steven Taylor is injury prone because of the way he throws his body around and goes heavily into challenges. Same way that a demolition vehicle is more prone to accidents than a regular car. Particularly bad injuries can often lead to subsequent problems down the track, particularly when there is issues with the rehabilitation process or complications with surgery. Other muscles that are not in full use during the period of injury may not cope with a return to full activities, or seemingly minor differences in the structure of joints/muscles may lead to additional stress being places on other parts of the body. Maybe

It's all been downhill since Cely Babs left tbh. Miss his ineffective going to ground while their forwards skip past with glee.

Don't think lovelyhands is fit or the answer as much as he's not a bad player. Sooner see Vuckic up front.

Andy Johnson is the anti-striker's striker, but we should be capable of handling that, tactically it's not hard to make the adjustment.

He does make what appear to be puzzling decisions with alarming frequency.

If 5 goals in a half isn't enough to put an end to playing a high defensive line with immobile defenders then I don't know what will. Shit feeling this, better to be battered from the start.
