Seeing the replays over and over I don't really see what Robinson is complaining about for the third. Also pleased that there's nothing wrong with it. Just three players going for the ball in Robinson, Best and Rovers defender, and all three missing it completely.

I don't understand the 'We won so it's ok' attitude.

Indeed, I don't see why both sentiments have to be so mutually exclusive.

His first instinct seems to usually be to weather challenges and keep going as much as possible which is great to see.

I think so. He seemed to be saying he was fully available in his twitter rant last week.

Well, even Richard Steadman confirmed to Hargeaves that he was mishandled by the Man Utd medical staff. But I guess Paul Merson and co know more about that sort of stuff.

Both teams playing in all blue.

Looking forward to this.

Don't mind who wins. Goals please.

Man Utd get Aldershot. No surprises there.

Good for Aldershot tbh... but basically, yeah.

Blackburn away

So, Le Tiss or Merson... which one will be screwing us over?

Mike and co have certainly made a lot of mistakes but this absolutely isn't one of them IMO. I'll take a great scouting system, a strong youth academy, sustainability and the type of players we're bringing in now ahead of the old ways of giving uninterested big names a big payday every single time.

The things they've done well have happened for the wrong reasons. It wouldn't be a problem if that happened for all areas of the club.

He could still not give a shit but run things properly. That hasn't been the case.

Ba, Cabaye, Arfa, Tiote

A goal from either of those boys would make this an epic afternoon.

Win-win. Would be nice to see him rip it up from the start, but would also be great for him to get his ovation coming off the bench.

Hopefully win is also the result! Not feeling overly confident of that though.

I will only accept an avatar of HBA... but i even don't know how it works tbh.

Mimi needs to be given an avatar, tbh.

circonstances atténuantes (mitigating circumstances ?) ...

Extenuating circumstances.

Brat would mean he was being a bit of a gros con 

His unashamed plastering of logos over SJP starts to make more sense if this is the kind of view some people have from the outside.

I'm as offended by there being anyone still defending him as some seem to be by the criticism or abuse.

he gives his 100%

No. He. Does. Not!

Yes! Get in.

he likes Abeid but thinks he 1 or 2 things short from pushing for a first team place.

Well that should still put him comfortably ahead of Smith.

Agree about the likeable factor of the team. Been the one constant since relegation and seems to be surviving despite having the core ripped out of it.

showed signs of learning, maturity and tactical development i didn't expect to see in him

Disagreed there. Showed a disappointing lack of that.

In any case, as said, any of Keegan2's qualities were irrelevant given that he had no intention on imparting them on the team.

Hatem looks exactly like he does in those photos with Nolan and Tiote when they were sporting the new kit on the official site. It's an identical pose.

good spot. It's all an act!!
