Kanji

"marra" is easily one of my favorite things people use as a joke on this board

I honestly Kinnear just did it to do it man, seems completely irrational given he was a free transfer.

He's enough about him to captain his club side and win a title in France. He needs the right partner and manager to believe in him. I truly hope he plays like the MYM that was being touted as the future CB of France for years to come before he joined us last January. We all need to back the fella and support him.

As good as that run was, Krul was immense & Ba was scoring goals for fun. In between that our midfield was strong with Tiote and Cabaye and our back 4 never played that good ever again. We were so fortunate to have bounces go our way so many times as well.

Iconic? Wat?

That back 4 had Taylor playing England-worthy football, Colo was 2x the player he is currently for us, Danny Simpson and Ryan Taylor barely ventured up into attack and maintained their discipline. We also had Krul saving everything, which flattered our record at the time and Danny Simpson was saving shit off the line a few times in that unbeaten run, right?

Hatem and Anita have to play in this match, 100%. Anita needs to be instructed to sit back and use his intelligence and protect our back 4. Santon and Debuchy need to basically forget about attacking together, 1 attacks only and when the ball is lost get the f*** back. Sissoko's runs need to come from deep and he needs to maintain positioning discipline. Finally, Remy and Ben Arfa have to get attacking on the counter and Cisse/Gouffran in the middle need to hold their position. We need to be disciplined and hopefully Cabaye and Debuchy will be buoyed from a good international week. Hopefully Hatem and MYM have point(s) to prove to show they need to be in the team each week. Overall, play with discipline - our full backs can't go marauding around the pitch, and work the ball around offensively. We have quality in the final 3rd, we just need to play together and confidently. Looking forward to Saturday now, we can't hide from this result anymore.

Big Andy before he was sold was unplayable in the air.

Wow, at least the dude who said that is grateful to the US of A. He wouldn't toss a big of piss on his, surely?

Wow, was it really 17? And like others said, coupled with the fact we had Shearer & Speed attacking these as well + the excellent driven set pieces by Robert & Solano - I always thought we were a threat from a set piece on those times. Now a days I'm hoping it just goes out if we don't fashion a chance as I'm deathly afraid of the counter. Even growing up we were always told to cross the ball with pace & drive the ball in because floaters are easier to clear, don't result in as much panic in the back, and your attacker only really needs to redirect those, basic fucking physics I guess. The amount of floated crosses man....

Panama's goalie shouldn't have played dead for 3 minutes as well, a ton of their decisions via attacking and time wasting were probably the worst times to do it. Should have time wasted when the ball was in play. Should have not attacked the way they did when they were up 2-1.

Cheers His link-up play just immediately click then eh? I imagine he's going to ramp up all season long before the World Cup, ready to be the star of the show at home this summer.

hey VI - how's Neymar getting on so far with Barcelona?

Nah, have no desire what-so-ever to see Mexico in the World Cup. They are our biggest rivals and nothing makes me happier to have won our group, and beat them in the process. Hopefully NZ embarrasses them in the 2 leg playoff.

Give Mexico false hope and the Kiwis to shock them; be even better.

The Mexicans owe us, this won't stop them from throwing piss on our fans but they fucking owe us. Feel awful for some of those fans and players though but anyway, happy we won - that's the result good sides get no matter what.

Holy shit

Cold fucking blooded.

Ray needs to get hurled out of a window man.

Results here and Mexico as is then Mexico are out completely? Right?

These commentators are going nuts in some fucking studio man

Mix has that Pires look to him, the hair and that flair style of his.

How essential is Bradley to this team? Goodness.

Shiett he was on

Our back 4 looking newcastle-esque today
