Hatem and Gignac attacking in the same team... My Ultimate Team come to life!

Indeed, struck a nice balance.

Not really a fan of the Beckham bandwagon, but this is cool:

South Shields looking for their 17th straight win today, were 1-0 down after 2 minutes.

 

... but then won 9-1

 

How's Julio doing?

Still haven't been to a game 

But he's playing regularly, scored one today and his debut was 18 games ago now... so that can't be a complete coincidence.

Michael f***ing owen scoring twice in a charity match. Unheard of..ugh...

Saw that he was in the team earlier this afternoon... my first thoughts were for his knees and how I hoped they would both implode. Oh well.

Pff, they're obsessed.

Class body feint from Martial before putting it on a plate for Giroud.

I think McClaren would have loved him actually.

Me too.

Hatem would have bailed him out of tricky situations now and then. Of course he would have liked him.

Nice. The best from either side of the channel.

One an all time great the other ... Zidane.

Doesn't look good on the club at all

 

Our club? I would think most people have either forgotten, don't care, or believe Ben Arfa was a waster.

Aye, don't underestimate the ability of the joyless buggers to bury their heads in the sand.

Can't let go, won't let go.

Yeah, likewise. I'm happy with holding on to this grudge forever.

Two clean sheets with Colback out the side also. I'll choose to see a clear link between the two things.

 

Do we really count today as a clean sheet?

Amazing.

 

Today still feels like a defeat for me because of how shite we were. Obvs happy we got the points, but we can't keep playing like that.

 

Nah. Those stats are embarrassing, but the three points were just so vital. A win was all that mattered so very pleased about that.

The played 'well, deserved better but didn't win' stuff needed to take a break today.

So that's it then. He's finally gone full shit.

I was into it until they mentioned the change of colours. Didn't know that and couldn't believe they dared do it.

Also not on was the way the doc brushed over it as if it was no bug deal.

very Robin Williams that

He's a cult hero and a great player rolled into one.

Amen, HTT.

Plus, don't think anyone is bashing "hard work" as a quality for a player to have. Just that it can't be the only thing and especially it can't be something for a player to hide behind. Like Alan Smith's version of grafting, or Colback.

Speaking of winning 9 times out of 10 when talking about the derby doesn't sit well either given how close the other lot are to actually doing just that.

It really didn't bother me at all, unfortunately it's a regular occurence in football now. Rather we benefit off it as well if others are.

Well therein lies the problem.

We need him to be a bit of a bastard to be honest. Don't mind it at all. If the ref gave him nowt else all game (I didn't see it, but it seems that way going from reports), then good on him. Every good team needs a bastard!

 

A bastard and a cheating prick are two different things. I don't mind him roughing up defenders and whispering shit in their ears etc but there's no place for that bullshit yesterday. If you didn't see it don't comment.

If you let your own players off for doing it then you don't have any ground for complaining when those of other teams do.

Yeap. In and in.
