Nolan had a decent game. He usually has a decent game unless he is recovering from an injury. One of these days somebody will credit Allardyce with the ability to pick a team based on merit.

The players got booed off at half time for some reason, possibly because there was a general feeling that Carroll is only any good in the air, Nolan is a cunt, Noble is slow, Vaz Te has been outed, we haven't built a team round Ravel and we weren't winning 8 - 0.
