Under a bit of pressure atm.

Begovic is basically playing as a sweeper.

Just flicked through .com to look at our results in both the FA Cup and the Carling Cup these last few years. 2004-2005: Lost in the 4th round of the CC and in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. 2005-2006: Lost in the 4th round of the CC and in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. 2006-2007: Lost in the Quarter finals of the CC and in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. 2007-2008: Lost in the 3rd round of the CC and in the 4th round of the FA Cup. 2008-2009: Lost in the 3rd round of both the CC and the FA Cup. 2009-2010: Lost in the 3rd round of the CC, and in the 4th round of the FA Cup. 2010-2011: Lost in the 3rd round of both the CC and FA Cup. 2011-2012: Lost in the 4th round of the CC. In these 8 seasons we've had 15 cup runs. We've made to the semi finals once and twice into the quarter finals. Not good enough IMO.

What's the furthest we've gone in the cups these last few years? We always seem to go out so early. Depressing.

That happened months ago. Finished the season over here pretty strongly, scored a few goals and played well. I was still shocked when he signed, mind.

That pass from Silva

Class from both Cabaye and Marveaux.

Finally.

Obertan has to come off. Seriously.

That's a fucking world class finish from Shola. Fuck me

Shola

Obertan cannot start again next week. He's been terrible today.

Shola on? So we're playing with 10 men now. Great sub Alan.

And that's why you make changes. Fuck off Alan.

Tiote been great so far.

Obertan has been shit so far.

Raylor up against Bale. Dear God.

I went on a stadium tour last year and we were told that the club makes it a condition that we don't have a black Puma logo on our home strip, because than it would have a 'black cat' on it. I guess the same applies here - he doesn't want to have black cats on the stadium. Could be bullshit, mind.

Him and Best have had a great understanding between each other these last two games. Was fantastic today, that first goal was class.

Colo, Tiote and Cabaye were all great today, but Ba has to be MOM.

Best so close to scoring here.

BEN ARFA

Ben Arfa warming up!

Tiote has been sensational today.
