Although Thiago Silva saved face by casually being suspended for this game. Probably knew what was going to happen. Aye, forgot about Thiago - does David Luiz rely on him to organize?

- if Cisse comes back he's going to get under 10. De Jong around 10. And Gouffran, HBA, Sissoko will make up 10. I think we got it man! Add in Cabella, Colback, Ayoze, shit man. Easily 30.

I wasn't even being serious by the way. I hate that formation anyway just talking nonsense as I don't see how we'll score any goals in the current team.

I was just shocked by the lack of shape, discipline, or tactics/adjustments by Brazil. Nothing was working, and there didn't seem a bit of clue how to get out of it. Soon as it went 1-0 down and the quick 2-0 it was curtains. Felt like watching Newcastle play, the defeated before they enter the pitch type meltdown. I feel for Flip, I also feel for Brazil, I feel for myself having to not get a chance to enjoy a top football match. I also respect the fuck out of Germany for their ability to punish Brazil on every mistake they made in those 6 minutes. Whether it was a a Brazil lay-down or a German execution story is really up for debate -- what I saw last night was just an awful football match in terms of neutral, a master class of execution (many times you see teams not capitalize in those positions) by the Germans, and a poor showing and embarrassment by Brazil and their entire 23 not named Neymar last night.

Bench.

(false 9 Siem, Cabella wide left, Hatem wide right, Marv #10, Sissoko + Anita central) < not enough tackle.

Yeah, unless we plan on wearing the almighty grey away kit all preseason.

And Unbe man

Wait had no idea RVP was unfit for this? What is the injury?

You get this feeling that de Jong will play striker first match of season. Cabella / Sissoko right. Gouffran left. Anita, Colback and Tiote in middle.

you only missed the part of expansive front foot football with slick passing game orchestrated by a bunch of grafters who will no doubt be 8-0 down the moment the ball is kicked

I think this marketing plan is fucking atrocious. See: Every other club's home kit release schedule and reveal for examples of how to properly market and create excitement for a product launch.

In future teams does Gundogan slot in behind him in Bastian/Sami spot in their 11 when fit?

When we go on grafting our bollocks off not scoring a single goal with a bunch of box to box cms running all over the pitch and the mighty Ayoze can't get a ball in behind the defense you'll see why people lose their mind about our 2 only creative players being sent to train with the kids, esp on day 2 of preseason.

Poor Flip

riots for sure

Shouldn't he better by letting a company that isn't his giving him income on the sponsorship + kit sales? Unless the exposure of Warrior > Income from outside Kit deal.

From Nike to Puma... I don't think they are too bad, the kit designs themselves are good -- just painfully templates though, which is weird & skin tight. I can only assume our kits will be skin tight too? Well the Home? Weird that all theirs are.

What the fuck is wrong with Pardew. Welcome back lads, you're still frozen out 'Atem and Sylv.

All 3 man, good kits mind you. Bad sponsor.

Deuce, you and your random vids man.

They have QPR and a few other lower clubs I believe? They'll need to re-up soon, can't help but think Newcastle and Liverpool are primed for a bid from them -- has to happen.

Nike clearly looking at this situation as, well, we didn't want Arsenal or Manchester United - Puma and Adidas can have them. They want the power of Newcastle United.

Adidas Man Utd Kit = Chelsea Kit but in red Naw, not 100M a year though. Fucking hell the brand value of Man Utd.

It's up at the end of next season. Nike, Adidas and Warrior currently bidding. Fee talked about is 600m for ten years. Nike confirms this is final season as Man U's shirt sponsors. Bring on Warrior! Adidas, 100M apparently.
