If Benfica were in the PL where would they finish?

Knew it wouldn't be long till they said they understand what its like to get fucked over on a regular basis. Like all successful clubs supporters everywhere.

Simpson.

Fair to say his distribution has been sloppy? Will improve no doubt.

So who is coming in for him against Benfica?

Absolutely sick to death of this season. Sometimes I wonder why we even bother signing good players because you know that for us they will get badly injured and most likely miss more games for us than they play. That's the biggest hate of mine, the injuries, the bloody injuries. Fuck off injuries. Fuckin bollocks cock piss cunt wankers.

Get ........ball.........to........Marveaux.

Hope hes gonna be ok.

What is it with us and injuries man? Fucking joke. Lack of creativity is sickening.

As already said, we will have no Colocinni, no Ben Arfa, and no Krul. All key players for us.

To all Benfica fans worrying about lineups and the fact you may have 3/4 first team players on the bench. We will play our strongest available lineup but this however will be far from our strongest team. We will be without Ben Arfa, Colocinni, Debuchy, Gouffran and maybe Krul and god knows who else that will most likely get injured before we play you.

They had a full block with stewards around them, I guess it was team friends/family? ESPN said it was their owner, his family friends bodyguards and hangers on.

In the riding a bike whilst eating an apple race?

Did you miss him absolutely tear Cole apart on his home debut? Nah I saw it mate, but he had a head of steam up while Cole had near enough a dead start iirc. This one today made me rock back in my chair!

Was class second half. Did anyone see that burst of pace from him second half when he chested it down and ran into the space towards their box? Fuck me I didnt realise he was that quick!

Really, really good second half. Neat, tidy, some belta balls out wide for Gouffran and Sissoko and a thunderous shot.

Lets fucking hammer the cunts!

I thought Sissoko could have played Cisse in a couple of times in that second half but he decided to go on himself. The lack of game time for Marveaux is really annoying as this guy has the class to play a killer ball. He should have been on about the 65 minute mark at least.

Yeah good point. Imagine how West Brom fans felt when that ball went in off Cisse's backside. Yeah but what has any of that got to do with todays result? We all know we fluked those games.

4 for Jonas is very harsh. Won't argue about the rest. Debuchy 5? Bit harsh like. Was very good going forward.

Thing is, we did hit the barn door a few times but their keeper made a couple of decent saves. Thinking Cabaye and more specifically Sissoko. But yes, Cisse and Gouffran should have hit the target.

And yet his sub & the subsequent moving of Michu back in to midfield changed ended up changing the game in their favour and allowed them to see out the win. Not that I think Pardew did owt wrong today, maybe could have made changes but we were in the ascendency so that would be reactionary/hindsight loaded guff from me. Nah, good points mate. I take what your saying about Michu but it all happened in minutes. The goal knocked the stuffing out of us tbf. Any way anyone wants to look at it, they got lucky.

Bollocks. We deserved at least a point. We deserved 3 in truth considering we were the away side. Read the fucking post Woah, calm down man ffs. I read your post. Just disagreeing with you. Considering we were the away team and on the balance of play we did not deserve to lose.

As far as I could see, Laudrup had ran out of ideas and just sat there stony faced. His team were going to scrape a draw then they fluke a winner. Pardew if anything won the battle of the managers.

Like most games, he was isolated for large parts. Was decent in possesion.
