great stuff reef. Anything would suit the Ayoze.

You don't run the NUFC Gallowgate twitter account do you by any chance? Honest question - but if Shelvey/Cork can look great in midfield - why on earth cant a dutch international, and a france international? I agree that right now they wouldnt work, but dont they have the tools to grow into a role, assume they are coached and have time to mature? Why couldn't Gerrard/Lampard work in midfield? You can't just put two quality players together and expect them to work well together. You need players that complement each other's skill sets Funny you should mention that comparison as wasn't it McClaren who was absolutely relentless in picking those two together

Well that's one thing but what did he think of the linesman's decision?

Well it greatly depends on what was said. So difficult to judge.

Pique red card for mouthing off at the linesman.

What's going on here then... https://twitter.com/philousports/status/633379781636177920

Every foul is a booking.

The crowd moaned sort of. Easy decision.

Good job that shot hit something on the way. Could have killed someone.

I know, I hate how commentators try and spin this as confusing and weird and illogical There, stuff like this is so dumb and infuriating: http://i.imgur.com/Qqs1juI.png

Even by Anfield standards this is shocking

Bournemouth are getting utterly shafted

All the kerfuffle about the 'rules' ... Man, that should and would be called offside at any time. It makes it worse that they specifically added a written portion to cover this. But it's nothing that new in terms of the spirit of the game.

What an utter shambles.

Well...

Cisse's second against Liverpool in 2012 was a good one. Quite embarrassing for the racialists.

Unfortunately Michael Owen has to be up there for me. Vs Argentina of course.

Indeed, a vacuum there's nothing too wrong with this deal. Cabella's head might be gone for NUFC.

Well, there we have it http://i.imgur.com/obiBKNy.png

Leave it!

http://i.imgur.com/EYW9v6O.png French journalist for Canal Plus "Thauvin will sign for Newcastle. Cabella's loan is not yet official. Things are moving in Marseille."

Was watching the end of the PSG game on a French stream and they mentioned this deal saying it's probably best for Thauvin to leave. Also said he was a favourite of Bielsa which has sold me on wanting him here.

Ponsaelius in good form. Well put. All very puzzling.

I'd be very surprised about that.

I really hope this is to move Sissoko centrally and Gini in midfield. Or is Sissoko going to play wide left? Thauvin clearly plays at his best on the right side no? I haven't seen enough of him to know mate. Maybe m4 can enlighten us. I think he's always been more effective on the right wing. But probably sees himself as a natural playmaker.
