M4

He looks like a human robot.

I know exactly what you mean

What was that bullshit about Sterling's first goal being offside? Bournemouth defender had gone off the pitch, but that doesn't prevent him from covering.

 

I swear his hand was on the goal-line. Does that make him technically on the pitch?

Well, actually I suppose yes. But even had his momentum taken him completely off it doesn't exempt him from remaining active and providing the cover.

Forgot that pathetic "throw myself onto the ball" tackle from Janmaat actually lead to the goal

The worst things we did this summer was give this bloke the #4

This makes me very sad.

That goal he scored on boxing day at Bolton felt like such a liberation at the time. Finally would he force his way in? But it still took months. Ugh.

Imagine him out there against that Norwich defence today

Anyway, what Ian said.

feeyenord currently 0-5 up away to heereevenand it's still only the first half, kuyt just scored

Observing Kuyt playing for Feyenoord... Glenn will not even have realised the 9 years go by.

He's so fucking slow to react to anything.  Ball bounces for a 50/50 between 2 players and it immediately becomes a 0/100 if it's Colback expected to nick it.

Add to that his obsession with just hanging out the back of opposing players and tugging their arms. Infuriating, I hate how he constantly does that.

There was a moment in the first where the ball broke away from the guy he was "marking", he was closest and could have been first to the ball but he was so busy grabbing onto his man's arm he didn't even notice.

He is shit scared of playing a forward pass. Such a stat padder, as soon as there is a slight risk you see him bricking it.

Still, wasn't too insultingly horrible today.

What did this guy take before the game? Beyond the actual quality of his play he was running up the pitch all through the 90 minutes.

Class. What a maniac.

We need at least one more. Have to score at least 4 as our defence is so shite.

Indeed. This clearly won't be the end of the goals in this game, so it needs to be us.

Dreading the second half nap now.

This is the chance to put out a positive team, and play a full game like the first half against Chelsea.

... Obviously, no one will be arsed again I'm sure.

I put them on my feet and legs, personally.

But agree, very necessary... feel uncomfortable if I don't have shinpads on.

Love it when Wullie comes in and sets things straight

Decent game of footy that was, and a good day all round. Thanks all for the welcome, and again thanks to Neesy for setting it all up!

From the PowerLeague website:

 

No over head height rule

Yes, there's no rule about "over head height"... There, sorted

I am driving from South Shields, if ever that helps anyone for a pick up along the way

So who else is making their debut here?

Ah, yes the ecrus kit.

Looking forward to tomorrow when people start saying this result is acceptable because they spend more money than us.

 

They lost at home to West Ham United three weeks ago.

Or worse that we would only have lost 4-1 if Colback played.

Need to survive our early second half nap.

Meh.

Need to survive our early second half nap.

Good movement and good composure.

Getting to the point where we're gutted not to be 2 up.
