Blurgh... Villa score.

Can't get the ball out of our 30 yards

Everybody is pissed off

Sherla definitely being used as an extra defender in defensive situations

Which is a little crazy. How many times down the years has he just fallen asleep and left his marker completely free.

Did well defensively just then though

Not completely without merit though. Games he's started were against some of the best teams in the league. Him starting today could have given a fairer chance to shine.

Urgh. Shola Ameobi will be shit. He's been a decent sub, why not continue using him like that?

Been doing well as an impact sub of late. Having him start fresh at the same time as everyone else does seem destined to fail.

What a team

Weirdly really looking forward to it though. Hopefully adversity will bring out some warrior like performances.

2 games is fair, tbh.

Still would have liked to see Rooney sit out the whole tournament at home. Still might... most probably won't.

Great goal by the dwarf to clinch it for Marseille.

Kadar finally has one. Number 40.

Surely an indication he'll be involved at Norwich. Or at the very least considered.

Suarez just falls over when he feels any bodily contact. Wish the refs would just book him every single time. Despicable character.

Everyone knows all about him. Ref's done nothing to discourage him which is just as pathetic.

Deliberate handball, still no yellow. Nice one ref.

Ref has just had as blatant proof a he's going to get of Suarez diving. Guy was down holding his leg then up in the space of 2 seconds.

Justification for no booking?

Doesn't even have a squad number. He's had 28 the last few seasons. Sammy just swooped in on that one then!

Was just running along and it went. Probably didn't do himself any favours trying to play on.

As someone pointed out, would have been best to stay down. I'm all for him being a warrior, but any Chelsea player in his situation would have milked it. There's a good chance we wouldn't have conceded the way we did.

Gutted for him, and us

Your favorite goal?

"Canny few"

Shankly was wrong.

Hate that quote.

That's where our red card went. In favour of Arry. Both shockingly bad decisions.

Wow. Que golazo, Swansea!

Norwich keeper looked dodgy every time the ball got anywhere near... That goal isn't too surprising

Every week he'll be back next week.

... is this cunt making up rules?

Basically, yes

Stelling actually had the rule book out on Soccer Saturday.

But it is very telling that it was due to tonnes of space down our left, Raylor and Lovenkrands nowhere to be seen and Cabaye having to try and chase the game, something he just isn't suited to. Maybe if Tiote had been playing he could've kept up with Sturridge and forced him into a wider position and bought us time to regroup - but as it was Sturridge had all the time in the world to waltz into the penalty area.

Well he was left out to dry, and we all know mainly because of who but Cabaye seemed to lose his head a little maybe due to the hectic way the game started. Would have expected a little better.

As for the rest: well put. No real surprise we haven't kept a single clean sheet since Tioté has been out.

Wouldn't be too surprising. What a great shame, poor Steven and poor us
