Pretty tough on Swansea having to play Spurs who have had 6 days rest compared to Swansea's 2. Stinks actually.

West Ham well rested for their match tonight too.

Then Spurs play West Ham on Thursday night, so it has worked out well for those two.

The Backwards Man

McClean scores now too, they're all breaking droughts tonight.

Johner

McClean's first goal in 16 months. Big deflection.

Kiith

**** sake ref, that's an utterly bull**** yellow card.

Sure he scored a big deflection on Sunday!

If that rain keeps going at Swansea, I'll be surprised if the game isn't abandoned. Even the ducks are wearing life jackets!

Yeah, i can see it being called off. It's already all over the place, with one side the ball skipping along, and the other stopping dead. Could become unsafe for the players, if the ground gets any worse.

But the piece you quoted never once mentioned it being career ending? It was most defiantly far from average too, but I agree it got much more attention that Kane & Ali’s from City v Spurs which was far worse!

Exactly. And nobody on here said anything about career threatening either. He actually seems a bit butthurt that KdB isn't injured.

blueser

Nearly 3 there. Kev hit the bar with a free kick.

What game are you watching? Man City, i'm guessing. Didn't realise that was on tonight.

It came across as very bitter and sore.

Following the City game online. What passes for broadband down here isn't fast enough to watch a stream.

Nice of Watford to conceed in the first minute

Also, Shane long scored! The end is nigh!

Ayew goes down there and he gets the pen for Swansea.

Kiith

Should have been a penalty at the other end right before that.

Swansea well up for this, and Spurs really not playing well.

razorblunt

Liverpool

Classic player should have gone down moment for Swansea.
Sanchez should be off for spurs too.

Now a player on with socks rolled down. Hope he scores.

To be fair, Sanchez should have been booked for that. He should never have been booked in the first half, as that was a joke of a call.

Ref, once again, has been poor.

blueser

About time Kun!

That pass from Kane! :eek:

Rekop dog

Spurs

Kane is a phenomenal passer. Some of the balls hes played this year have been truly remarkable.

Kiith

Unreal pass. His passing game has improved dramatically this year.

rob316

what a pass from kane. spurs looked in real trouble to hang on

ctrl-alt-delete

Great ball from Kane,

Nice adjustment of the feet for Alli to finish that too.

davycc

Man City

Hollywood cross from Harry alli took it well and two up on the night,
Decent game for the neutrals

The Backwards Man

Andy Carroll scores a last minute wonder goal, delighted for Pardew.

ERG89

Bad night for them even when they are not playing. Stoke are into the relegation zone now, sorry Hughes

Damn. Was hoping for a clean sheet tonight as well. Fiddlesticks.

Alan Pardew continues to fail at West Brom. Only surprise is how quickly it started this time.

It’ll take time for him. Them players are drilled to the floor with Tony Pulis’ philosophy of playing. Pardew was brought in to change that, he’ll need to bring in 1 or 2 this month but I think he’ll turn it round there.

Agent Coulson

Hughes to West Brom and Pardew to Stoke before the end of the window.

Wasn't a lot of Pardew's success early at Palace built on the foundations Pulis left?

Could make a case for that I guess. Pulis was there a little over 6 months though so they weren’t engraved as much with his ideas I guess. Must be nearly 5 years at the Baggies surely?

To be fair, they did. Foster was inspired for West Brom.

As Eamon Dunphy recently said to John Giles after having a particularly dodgy rant about Man City thoroughly debunked “that’s your problem. You always resort to logic.”

Not sure West Broms ills can all be attributed to being indoctrinated in Pulis’ methods. Still fancy Pardew to turn it around though. I know he’s an odious individual but there’s something about Pardew I can’t help but like. Maybe it’s simply that 1990 winner v Liverpool that shut my cocky mates up or maybe it’s that legendary dance in the Cup Final.

That's only one of a list of things he's done.

Jake Livermore reacting quiet passionately to something a West Ham fan said to him as he made his way to the bench

Wasn’t he also supposed to have gotten the Newcastle job because he beat Ashley in a poker game so he cost Chris his job.

Will be interesting to hear what that was. He lost is completely, so I doubt it was the usual banter.

Yeah, read just read about it. An Irish football was also mentioned.

That Irish footballer really really escaped any bad press.
