We need to wake the fuck up and Pardew needs to realise we need to get hold of the ball, and that won't happen while playing 4-4-2.

That's what happens when you have a fucking 40-year old playing in goal.

Steve fucking Harper what the fuck are you doing. Jesus fucking christ.

We're going to get hammered here.

FFS. Joke start from us. Not ready for this at all.

Only one team on the pitch atm.

The Dortmund fans are epic.

Harper, Perch and HBA have been our best players today IMO.

Perfect pass, perfect first touch and perfect finish. Pure class.

.....and then we'll switch to 4-3-3 at HT and perform much better. Deja vu.

Looks so much better with no sponsor patch.

Ramos

Brilliant player.

Iceland is a country where all professional footballers pretty much know each other so yeah, it's not unlikely. Gylfi is all over the news over here at the moment. His dad was interviewed on the radio earlier today and said that nothing will be decided or announced until sometime next week, and no one seems to have any idea what he'll do. Will be exciting to see though since he's a fantastic player. His understanding of the game is second to none and he's got an unreal right foot.

Is it Levy who's signing Gylfi then? Or do you reckon he's someone that AVB wants?

According to Icelandic media Gylfi won't decide his future until next week. He had meetings with a few clubs in England last week (Spurs being one of those clubs) but hasn't made a decision yet.

Why do the shit teams always get good looking kits and we don't? How on earth does it make sense to give Club Brugge and Botofogo beautiful and well designed kits and us something with spikes on it?!

Every time I see HBA play centrally he seems a little lost. Today was no exception.

I would find it very strange if we were going to use him on the left in a 4-3-3, since his best and preferred position is clearly up top. If we have in fact put in a bid for this lad it wouldn't surprise me at all to see us play 4-4-2 next season.

I honestly can't put it into words how horrible that is. Those spikes...honestly...how on earth did something like that get approved?

There are a couple of reasons for that. First and foremost, he wants to start every game. I think he's affraid of being on the bench a lot if he goes to a bigger team - he was on the bench a lot at Hoffenheim and hated it. Secondly, he loves to play under Brendan Rodgers. He give him his first chance at Reading and has a lot of faith in him, and the the way Swansea play also suits Gylfi really well.

Cole really has been magnificent.

What a player Mata is. Class.
