Good job they've got him into the international set up early then. Need that coached out of him!

Love a good gratuitous Colback putdown.

Right on cue:

For those who didn't catch the True Geordie thing, like myself, the video and podcast should appear later today. Looking forward to it.

The good news is that he's been exposed (again), and you'll be better off without him. What you guys have achieved is fantastic

Of course it's that Michael Martin tool creating needless drama. Just keep the name.

Another class day. Thanks to all. I know we say it often but yeah, should organise more regular kickabouts.

French referees...

You watching the game? Bordeaux offering very little I'd imagine. Both teams were unbeaten before today, hoped it would have been a bit more of a contest. PSG is just on a run. Bordeaux have been alright going forward, their striker is horrible though. De Preville, yeah... Seemed like a typical bargain basement gamble to get him in. Oh well, 6 now.

No explanation needed, really.

Huge. Well done lads.

That's a lot of trust LFEE. Can I just wonder up the pitch after 2 minutes and leave HTT to you?

It's tragic the state of refereeing. Embarrassing by Mitro also though.

Errrr ok. Gouffran, Gosling & Sammy Ameobi have negative properties. It works.

Saw him in the car park of Metrocentre once. There, that's all I can think of right now about his time here. Hope he enjoyed it.

Always liked Rooney also and big fan of his style of play. Usually great to watch and especially at his peak with Man Utd. But it's also very fair for him to be criticised over his England tenure.

Did Dugarry not get played out of position in his few games for Barca?

I'm still waiting for Riviere to recreate his 12 goal a season form at Monaco tbh. His regression to the mean is going to be amazing! Believe.

Why not. Another player who has hit rather incredible heights at club level. Although he goes out with the goal scoring record, you can't say he'll leave a mark that record should carry with it.

Hmm, that's a tough one... He might be a world beater when not hungover. HTT playing the long game.

Well therein lies a big part of the problem. Everything is always black and white and blame either swings 100% one way or another. I'd say in such an instance Aguero absolutely needs to receive blame also. Warning, or suspensions if repeated etc... Otherwise, it's just good on him, pat on the back and move on to the next time. And there's no other real word for it than "flopping"

In theory of course this is right. And it's also partly my point that it would be very silly to get to such a situation. But when you see all the terrible or very soft yellow cards that pollute matches (most of which will result in bans one way or another) then it becomes a logical idea.

They re-emphasised rules about retrospective bans for players flopping. Yet to see them really apply it. We'll see what Aguero gets. They should be dishing out 5 or more bans every week these days.
