Surreal, I'm seeing it but I can't quite believe it.

He shouldn't be allowed to direct traffic let alone our club. Big Zany Mike is hilarious.

I felt we needed an early goal to push on and win this match, and sadly it didn't happen First half was about as enjoyable to watch as root canal surgery, but fair play to the lads for upping their game and really going for it in the second. I really believed we could do it for a while there. So great to see Ben Arfa back Good luck Benfica, hope you go all the way now.

This. I always had a soft spot for Villa until THAT match. Now I'm on the prayer mat nightly wishing them relegated. Sissoko's assist and Cabaye's goal, wow

Something has to give now. Surely even Ashley can see this...

On the other side of the coin, that's what made Maradona so incredible. The 86 Argentina world cup squad was very average and were in no way favourites, yet he dominated that competition so forcefully he dragged the team single-handedly to the final and lifted the cup. So there is indeed logic in the argument.

Did Jonathan Pearce seriously just refer to Ozil as "Nemo"?

One can only stomach the stench of stale urine for so long

Gards for me like FTM

I'll wager he'll not be going anywhere in the summer, unless a ridiculous Liverpool-esque 'Caroll' type bid comes in, 40M or something absurd.

Happy days. Nice to see Ben Arfa tearing them a new arsehole too

Pardew on SSN saying "Shola is what we here at Newcastle are all about"... Does that mean we're fucked?

Agreed. We won't go so easy on them this time around
