Obertan off Lovelypants on.

Sure i've seen that sig somewhere. Don't tell me some one has stole me sig now. Someone already stole me pic of Newcastle cigarettes with a health warning. Thats alright then...

Sure i've seen that sig somewhere.

Fucking gutted if he goes to Liverpool dreading start of the season now one step forward 2 steps back in my opinion!

Foster: 4 Poor performance gifted them the 1st goal should have done better for the 2nd and poor positioning for the 3rd although probably couldnt have stopped it. Not ready yet going by today's performance. Simpson: 6 Did ok against a tricky Gradel showed him down the line everytime so learning on that aspect. S Taylor: 6 Kept trying to playing it from the back but lack of options from the midfield, defence a bit suspect at times but was a big threat attacking set pieces. Williamson: 5 Again below standard seems to be lack of leadership between himself and Taylor, got outmuscled for the 2nd goal although i thought was a clear foul. Tavernier: 5 Expecting more from the lad poor positioning but supported the attack well however hasn't got a left foot cut inside to his right everytime Barton: 6 Got stuck in but not very effective got some crosses in but with no accuracy Cabaye: 7 Best performer from the starting 11 today, kept it neat and tidy will improve and is a good corner taker. Gosling: 5 Struggled in my opinion not sure what his strengths are, i would put Vuckic ahead of him at the moment. Gutierrez: 6 Carried the ball well but missed Jose today. Ba: 6 Tried to drop deeper to see more of the ball but lacked penetration got beat in the air quite a few times by the defenders. Sh Ameobi: 5 Didnt really see much from him Subs R Taylor: 5 Nothing much but i would say i would play Raylor over Tavernier Vuckic: 7 Great impact today came on showed some nice touches and got the goal. Deserves more playing time next game Sa Ameobi: 4 Very poor not a winger although not his fault over hit too crosses with his left and dribbled it out of play when chasing for the 3rd goal. Another guy came on forgot his name didnt see much from him niether EDIT: Forgot Best 6 Played better than Ameobi and should be ahead of him

Hope not

Vuckic was the only highlight i could see from today. Foster was extremely poor, as was the defence, the midfield couldnt keep the ball and niether could the strikers. Got better as the game went on. Cabaye seems like he has a decent corner on him which Taylor converted.

Long ball over top. Ba controlled it deep in the leeds box, pulled it back, Vuckic 1 touch to control and left foot drilled finish... keeper got a hand to it but was a good finish.

Does anyone know when the squad numbers are released? Or have they already been out?

This

Surprised Yaya didnt get it tbh.

That's Capello mate. Chelsea 4-3 West Ham 2-1 Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea 2-2 Robert was some how completely ignored in his time here like, might be that. Think hes refering to about the Robson era, we didnt win for about 30 odd games until we beat Arsenal 3-1 in 03/04 season??

Think he means for the money he has been good business, compared to the likes of Duff Martins Owen who were probably earning like 4-5times his wage.

I dont see the problem with him starting at LB, its where all the youngsters start when they break into the first team these days. Its rare that you sling a youngster straight into a center half or midfield position unless they look a real prospect ala Wilshire. Look at Gerrard and Terry both started RB for their clubs respectively and when they had enough experience in the first team. If Ferguson is doing well at LB keep him there.

Typical haha

Now we know why he had a shocker, was too busy on Ant and Dec's Saturday night take away!!
