so much of the use of the word "interim". surely i'm not the only one who has to stop themsleves shouting "...and fuck them up" when they hear it ?

He got you to give him your money and has just cashed in to the tune of £100m as well as £125m profits this year. That's not savvy business? You know what I mean. Am I going to buy anything from there again after that? Maybe trainers at a push, but that'll be it. There's only so often you can rely on new custom. if i bought a lamp for my bike for £4 (mind you the most i'll pay is a tenner, more for a rear light mind) from harrods i'd still think "it's a £4 lamp, it's not going to be great".

Probably rightly in this case. Having HBA on the bench to unleash later would still be immense. Aye, I haven't really got any problems with him going unchanged (MYM in for Colo though) for this, but as a general "rule", I don't really like it. i'd play colo alongside mapou for this one, then bring taylor in for colo next week. Thought someone said that Colo was out for this one? oops, didn't know that.

"Cheap cheap fashion at cheap cheap prices. Charvers come on down!" Guess who wins again. He's now catering for the poverty stricken charv who just can't live with out his donnay trackies, and your more up market scumbag who just loves that Henleys... profit to be made without really harming anyone. can't decide if I love or hate the snobbiness on this place. I'm not being snobby, but Mike has his target market. as does ferrari, whats the problem ?

bought tracksuit bottoms from there a few years back, still wearing them. loads of cheap sweatshirts for girl 1 which are still good enough for girl 2. girl 1's air max's were cheaper there than anywhere else. as everywhere else, you know what you get at that price but i certainly get the feeling many would pay more for identical stuff from more upmarket retailers. (or at least use the place but still have a go at it)

i'd like to where tiote's was as he was all over the place. far from sitting too deep he was letting midfielders get in behind him and on more than one occasion they had a forward and a couple of midfielders in a line in fron of our back 4, if anything, the opposite of sitting too deep.

Not sure why some like to be so pessimistic even with clearly our best player. Just enjoy him FFS Why is it pessimistic to state that even Hatem Ben Arfa has a price? It's not like I hope we sell him, or even expect us to, as I don't think any club will offer an amount that would entice us to sell (20 million or more). Has nothing to do with being able to enjoy him either; I most certainly do, and wish I could do more as I don't think he's featured enough or played to his full potential over a prolounged period since coming here. PSG if he has a really decent end to the season ?

i get it now. on those occasions when we've actually started quite well it's been because of the oppositions tactics to sit back from the off. it happens quite a lot that the team chasing the game has more of it (villa the other week at arsenal was a good example, i don't think wenger's instructions were to sit on the lead). more of a concern was until very recently that we couldn't apply that pressure after going behind.

for all that goal went against him, allardyce must've been purring watching a goal like that.

Really hope so. Could easily become a pet hate of mine that if his form dips. It won´t though as long as he keeps the up with the attacking performances he has put in since he arrived. Edit: When the opposition is in possession. yeah, i wonder what the long term plan is for him, or even if we have one. seems to have license to drift a lot and not do much when not in possession. that certainly wasn't what I saw from him for toulouse. perhaps they are just easing him in or think thats the best way to get that 'explosion' out from him.

that was always the call with nolan aswell, till he was pictured with no top on and you couild see he wasn't. it was the way he carries himself that makes it look that way.

i honestly don't think tiote had that good a game. he seemed all over the place which left a massive gap in front of our back four, particularly in the first half and came very close to losing the ball a couple of times through his old trouble of holding on to it too long for no good reason.

I think Jonas has been moved to the right to make way for Ben Arfa. please, PLEASE,please, PlEASE, please , PlEaSE, pLeAsE, pLeAsE, pleASE, PLEase,PLEASE,PLEASEpleasee],pleaeaeaeaease

cabaye looked shagged for a while before he went off, we had a lead to hold on to.

be better next season, right now he's getting away with doing little when they have the ball. he's will be able to do it all defensivly and offensivly.

done for the first goal, not close enough and following the player too much.

i'm lost as to what he was supposed to be doing today in general. not his fault, seemed like he was in front of cabaye when i'd have preferered himbehind, in front of the back 4, meant basically when we had the ball we had 9 outfield players, back 4, cabaye as quarter back, forward 4.

caught out of position loads, even when he knew that position was getting targeted. I don't have a great issue with that if it's due to coming back from an attack, as has been mentioned it's the responsibility of others to slot in for him too - that's something we have to work on as a team. Thought he generally mopped things up fairly well, especially in the first half. Wasn't amazing or anything but certainly don't think he was very poor either. i differ. for me it wasn't often when he'd been attacking (as in their third, more so not getting back from the middle third) also it's not a general thing, just today.

crikey dave, all I said was he was poor defensivly. attacking wise he's been a lot better, regardless of whether he created as goal or not.

and you know full well i'm talking about his play overall.

could have been crap and set one up. surely it's how he plays overall ? I'd take him getting an assist every game as being 'attacking average'. You said it, not me. jeez dave i doubt it. he was defenensivly very poor today and could have cost us more. it's up to you if you want to go by what we got away with, blinding yourself to to what we got away with....santon was cack defensivly.
