that is a very clinical finish from Best..fantastic goal..he certainly is taking his chances isnt he?

Simpson has always been great..its just that he never gets the limelight..

Can we just award the Player of the Year award to Joey Barton now? I know its only January but he is freakin brilliant..he should win because of his football and the change in his atitude (just forget the Pedersen Sucker Punch)..

its ok..Williamson is a reliable replacement..

whoever has been knocking on Best before this saying he was crap, I hope they eat ur words tonite..n i dont mean u arcaloveher k..hehe

Brilliant finish but I my stream just went kaboomm..duuhh

who needs Robbie Keane eh?? Well done McLoven..

N I salute Pardew..he was brave to put Best on tonite and he has been rewarded well

6-0 against Villa..5-1 against mackems..5-0 against the Hammers..wow..was hoping for the Spiderman mask to come out tonite..hope its just a knock for Jonas

i want Ferguson left back and Jose left wing..why terbalik???

THAT IS WHY RANGER AINT GETTING IN THE TEAM YET..HORRIBLE MISS!!!

I am really getting frustrated with Ranger's inability to hold up the ball..so easily pushed off the ball and loses possession..not in this game only but in his earlier games too..he's becoming the new Shoal..come on Ranger..make me eat humble pie tonite..!

yeah..just to add on..i feel really safe when Harper is in goal..2 clean sheets in a row and now hesitations and mix up between keeper and defenders..glad to have him back

Added on January 6, 2011, 5:55 amAbout the injuries, i think most of it is precautionary..hope so..although Tiote might be the worrying one..

Im sorry to sound so negative after a great win..the last 10 minutes, West Ham over ran us because we were down to 10 men..thats understandable..but the thing that really is pissing me off is Ranger..my God..cant he just stay on his feet and also hold the ball up at the same time..???

Look at that chance in the last minute..he tripped over his own feet for God's sake!!! If that is how he performs on the training pitch, there's no wonder that even Best is getting in the team ahead of him..and I dont even want to comment about his miss..

This boy needs to eat his vegetables and drink soya bean a lot..really frustrating watching him..even Shola now is better at holding up the ball and feeding it off to others..

Really hoping Ranger improves and make me give a second opinion on him..

Anyways..good win..now we start our journey in the FA Cup on Saturday..hope we can get through safely..if there are any injuries, its a good time to heal them..

yeah..just to add on..i feel really safe when Harper is in goal..2 clean sheets in a row and no hesitations and mix ups between keeper and defenders..glad to have him back

Carroll, Nolan and now Best have had hat trick this year..

and not to disrespect Chris Hughton, nor am I applauding Pardew so much, but we have just beaten Wigan away and West Ham at home..a few months ago, we could have dropped points in both games..

Another positive is we went for an attacking formation with 2 strikers even though our two first choice strikers are injured..could have been easy for Pardew not to take a risk and go with Nolan up front partnering one striker..

But credit to Pardew for not shirking in his job..good solid win at home..

Nice one..I watched the replay of the match today and I couldnt believe the amount of time that the ball came in to him, and he was either easily shoved of the ball or just trips over the ball and loses possession.. its a good thing Best and Lovenkrands scored last night..at least now Ranger knows he has no guarantee that he can play whenever Carroll or Ameobi is out..needs to improve quickly that boy..

Steven Taylor and Tiote have hamstring problems..not confirmed how severe..lets just hope its the Jose Enrique 'Twitter' type of hamstring..Jonas and Best just picked up knocks..With Stevenage on Saturday, it will give them all some rest..didnt expect Tiote or Jonas to play in that one..Jonas has played in most if not all our matches and Tiote also needs a rest..

For me, we need some seniors out there on Saturday and it should be Barton or Nolan if not both of them..they are also match winner and without them, we look lost in the park..

was just reading the latest transfer rumours..

Apparently, Birmingham are leading the race for Bentley..but their Keane deal is not anywhere near completion yet..

Another source says, we are leading the race for Bentley on loan with a view to signing hin for 8 million pounds at the end of the season..8 million? worth it? Not sure bout that..seems Spurs wanna get their money for Bentley back since they signed him from Blackburn for 15 million before this..i guess we could opt not to sign him if he aint worth the 8 million at the end of the season..

Either way..Birmingham wanna replace Spurs as our number one rival in the transfer market every player we are going for, seems Birmingham want them too..I think if we can get both Keane and Bentley would be great..but getting even one of them seems hard with Birmingham trying to get them first..

Tiote is on the bench? Wow..hope he doesnt need to come on..we need him for Sunderland match next Sunday..

Glad that Lovenkrands and Best at front..and Nola playing too..see what happens if u dont put ur chances away Ranger? Even against Stevenage ur not in the team..

Tiote..what the heck were u thinking????

Tiote is soooooooo stupid..otak letak dekat lutut..play without thinking..

Sorry Krul..u are just not good enough right now..Harper..where are u?
