  1. 2005 - Battered Olympiakos 4-0 at home.  Dyer playing up top with Shearer.  Thought we really could go on and win the Waffa that night.  Also our 100th game in a European competition.

     

    Already... Was at that game. Lovely finish by Dyer. 7-1 :lol:

  2. Should have made some special edition bottles with his face and signature on them! Would definitely have got one of those :lol:

     

    ... like when they made these:

  3. There was a touch he had not too long before he came off where he stumbled over his feet and the ball. Looked knackered.

     

    Thought he did well overall. Gradually got less and less involved as were incapable of getting the ball down anywhere other than our back line. Needs to stop with the several touches inside our own box though! Maybe he's just that starved for action on the ball! :lol:

  4. Full on Perchinho mode today. Got more and more comfortable as the game went on. Probably the only player trying to play positive passes as well as winning the ball back on several occasions.

  5. There seems to be a real intent on playing as little football as possible and most of it facing our own goal. Barely any urgency from anyone right from the start, hardly no one ever ran with the ball. As if we are constantly delighted to be getting throw ins or goal kicks because it will allow us to spend a good 30 seconds to take them.

     

    Big relief to get the win but saved by a moment of magic just like against Villa, although to be fair Cissé could have scored any of his chances. Disappointing that it also shows how much of the second half revival against Sunderland was probably down to them losing a man rather than our own creativity.

     

    Was glad to see the change in having Jonas at the back and Cabaye wide. At least it showed Pards was willing to try something different in order to maybe revitalise our game. In the end Perch was probably our best player, which says a lot. Tragic football :(

  6. He's been awful all season, it's March and he's just started away at Arsenal in place of a striker that's scored 2 in his first 4 games. Pardew's fucking insane.

     

    :lol:

     

    He's the anti Ben Arfa. Pardew will grab any excuse to start him.

  7. We're just relying on luck to not lose this sort of game.

     

    Still losing by the odd goal against a flying Arsenal team isn't that bad. Big test coming up on Sunday. Need to win and play convincingly.
