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

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.

Keep playing. We usually crumble into a heap in the corner when we take the lead. Come on.

If we had the luxury of decent centre backs, would love to see what Mbemba would be like in a defensive midfielder role. Sure he'd be quality, and it would be the end of the great ginger experiment. Oh well.

Was going to mention that one... double inform was it not?

I agree. Earlier on, teams play more freely. The football is maybe better in the latter knockout stages, but the bullshit quickly becomes unbearable.

That touch to get it past the last player is quality. By that I mean look at where he initially intended to go, he's off to his right again so quickly. Typical of his dribbling: playing the angles and seeing space where no one else realised there was any. In the end it got deflected making it into a chance to shoot which he also adapted to quicker than anyone, obviously.

Ha, just seen that. Class. Happy for him. Made their team of the week also of course: http://i.imgur.com/Rwzb9RB.png

PSG vs Marseille could be nasty. Paris seem to be plodding along and Marseille imploding. Bayern v Dortmund has potential to be the most entertaining of those.

Agreed. He'll never make it at the top level and that's a massive shame. Hopefully he gets some sort of shot... Like Robert Redford in The Natural. 37 year old Hatem playing in the Champions League final dribbling every cunt in sight one last time to score the winner.

Seems a bit needlessly petty from Alan, though.

Hatem is now the barometer to identify negative morons in the NUFC support

Ligue 1 refs always just make the rules up as they go along.

Yeah, uhmm... Let's hope he is.

In

Bordeaux 3-0 up at half time against Lyon after losing 6-1 to Benny's boys the other day.

Didn't get to see the game but liking what I'm reading on here or heard on the radio. Hopefully this guy puts to bed the Dummett vs Haidara battle of anguish.

As if I sat through Arsenal and Watford, but following this on my phone... Ayoze scores and Colback is booked. Sounds like the perfect first half.

I wonder if he could get Converse football boots.

Get in Hatem Cannot be mad at that.

Rubbish talking about wanting Cabella back. This lad will be fine.
