come on mitro

if he heads it in off alli

KILL HIM MITRO

Cisse your first touch. Woof!

nut roast?

Seems he's a second behind everything else that's happening on the pitch. Just too slow to be in a game we're not anywhere close to being able to control.

Abhorrent person, this kid. Unbelievable attitude. Ian's alright man.

have we won a single 2nd ball this whole game season decade?

unleash the radgemaat

played blob

goodjob cardback

in my day players went through four pairs of shins a game. now you can't even snap a bone accidentally without someone starting an online petition to ban you. it's political correctness gone mad

why am i developing ulcers when i expected this anyway goddamn

got up smiling and everything like "look at the good thing I did :) "

was that curling in? damn you cisse

The crap players under Pardew are still largely here only slower and older and crappier and probably more disillusioned with the club. McClaren was going to be a slight upgrade at best. I don't know how we test that theory. But, comments-about-the-club/hba-as-reason-for-hate aside, I still think he could have gotten more from the side - in terms of both performances and playing - than the dismal shite on display we had after that fucking miracle 5th.

He did leave for a team that where in the bottom 3 like, I don't think he was loving it. Aye, it was definitely Mike Ashley that forced him out, not the fanbase that made it perfectly clear how loathed he was. His career was done before we hired him and he's managed to squeeze another 5-10 years out of it through sheer sycophancy, arrogance and cynical PR skills. I admire its purity. A survivor … unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

how the fuck is this the most controversial opinion Yeah, I don't like to see well outclassed teams getting mercilessly ground into dust. I like competitiveness, not Brock Lesnar snapping bones of 10 year old white belts in an MMA octagon

That's what I meant with the qualifier of 'Malmoe making a hash of it'. If Real aren't even getting out of second gear and effortlessly scoring on them every time they go forward, then fine. But if they're just going full out Ivan Drago to their Apollo Creed after 4-0 or 5-0 then I don't like to see it and think it's unnecessary.

oh look we can dunk on verne troyer, pathetic

Not watching the game but imo if they've been picking them apart after the third or fourth then I think that's poor sportsmanship. If Malmo's been making a hash of it then fine. But at 4-0 you know they're outclassed and not coming back, no need to rub it in.

Well now I'm doubting myself. Am I misremembering the opening 20-25 minutes? If it wasn't Ibe it felt like someone was terrorizing our left hand side then switched flanks and Dummett grew into the game and got more confident, but not before.

I'd have had him ahead of Dummett before today, but Dummett did alright defensively tbf. Let's hope he takes some confidence from this. He did but imo it was because Ibe stopped torturing him; a move which I still don't understand.
