On another note, Swansea's song is class.

which song?

Don't know the words, but it's a different tune to any other song I've heard. It's more of an anthem than a song.

that's a Welsh anthem in general - it's just used by swansea fans a fair bit - It's used all the time in Wales rugby games - it's an immense tune.

Papiss Cisse is a thing of beauty. And really interesting to see the way Newcastle played while out of possession tonight.

Cisse far out in the left wing, Ben Arfa in the right, Cabaye up in the centre behind Ba. 4-4-1-1. Cisse's transitions were Maggio-like.

The guy has the mobility and ability to track players one second, defend in his own penalty area soon afterwards, and go running towards the other goal a little later. Brilliant player.

Cisse was more of a striker today with Ba behind/slightly on the wing. Only watched the second half though so can't comment on the first.

He was a full-on striker when they had the ball, and on the wing when they didn't. Until Ba was taken off.

I don't get why Ba is sad/mad about not having scored in a while when he isn't the one getting all their goal chances anymore. Didn't he say he want Cisse to join him in Newcastle? What did he expect?

Is he mad?

Be interesting to see what Pardew does next season with Ba/Cisse.

weird seeing you praise someone outside serie A for a change, although it's probably the black and white effect.

only one line

"and we were singing,
hymns and arias,
land of my fathers,
ar hyd y nos"

"ar hyd y nos" is (are heed ugh nooooooooosss (no with a long o, and then a strong s at the end)

Land of my Fathers btw is the english translation of the title of the welsh national anthem - and is also the first line

"mae hen wlad fy nhadau,
yn annwyl i mi"

Dalglish on Carrol:

'He has played his best football for the club in two of the last three games,' said Dalglish.

'We know he's moving forward and we know he'd love to play for England in the European Championship. The better he does for us, the better the chance he has got of going there. I'm sure he'll be under consideration.'

After a slow start to his Liverpool career, Carroll has picked up to score in recent away wins at Everton and West Brom.

But he was guilty of a bad miss against Swansea City last weekend that saw the players booed off following a goalless draw.

'Andy will settle in, no problem whatsoever,' added Dalglish.
'At minus £15million [Torres was sold for £50m, Carroll bought for £35m], it's not a bad buy.'

Carroll's strike partner, Luis Suarez, will also come under the spotlight as he plays his first game since receiving an FA charge of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra last month.

Aren't Swansea fans that chant "do the Ayatollah"?

85.2% - Swansea have the 4th best passing accuracy in Europe's top 5 leagues this season, after Barcelona, Bayern and Man City. Refreshing.

And absolutely useless possession last night. I think they had 77% or something, yet Newcastle were always in control of the game.Really funny.
