£40 on Portugal, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Montenegro and Spain £7.5 on Iceland and Russia £10 on Belgium, Holland and Germany £10 on Poland, England and Northern Ireland. Hope they walk in. Would give me around £140 in profit in total or something along those lines.

Brazil beat China 8-0. Spain and Sweden only managed 1-0. This will look as a good result for Mano and he wont be sacked now. Lucky cunt.

Thinking of doing it too. Just because I feel like it.

Love Brazilian football. So unpredictable. NEVER EVER BET ON IT GUYS!

Shitebulb mkII ?

And celebrates like there is no tomorrow

Never mind. Any answer I give to that will sound douchey.

Sorry but how is that a reason?

Agreed. Such a delectable club.

Deschamps... We all know how good he is at managing his own players right? ...

Has a lot to do with Pardew trying to please our strikers by playing 4-4-2. I can actually see us going on a deep run if we switch to 4-3-3. Actually I believe we have the capability to fight out for a top 4 spot if no one gets injured and we do play with a midfield three and Ba - Cisse - Benny uptop like last season. Has Pardew already forgotten WBA away? We were f***ing amazing then. Ba can still play left. He wont score and he wont like it, but just like at Swansea he and Cisse can swith it up a bit to help out defensively. It is obviously not the optimal, but we wont sell Ba and we wont get a new winger anyways so that the best we have. I also think Marveaux and Amalfitano would thrive in such a formation. Problem this season is definitely 4-4-2 and no Tiote in the team. I mean Cabaye and Anita reminds me of when Guthrie and Barton played couple seasons back in the midfield. One overrunning the other and no one covering each other. Not only there. Stoke at SJP was a f***ing brilliant performance, Liverpool at home was more than decent as well. It's there for everyone to see. Not only the front trio, but the midfield - whether it contains Cabaye, Tioté, Jonas, Anita or Bigi - will be far more dynamic and controlling if we just allow them to be more than two people in there. Hopefully it will come. Pardew's comments about Shola for Everton suggests he might be willing to introduce some more muscle up front in order to win the physical battle that our long-ball 4-4-2 game requires. I think we need to go back to basics and that for me would be introducing Shola next to Ba and playing a solid 442. You really are the worst poster on the forum arent you?

If we go 442 then Jonas shouldnt be on the left. His time there is done. But everyone is leaving him out of a 4-3-3. Jonas should start because in a 4-3-3 him and Tioe are our best holding midfielder, and we shouldnt ever be playing 4-4-2 again.

People leaving out Jonas...oh god what has this forum come to. Bigi did well, but when Tiote comes in hes an improvement and Jonas played so well in that holding position last spring.

We really need 7 points from our next 4 matches in the league if we are going to prove we can be as strong as last season. I think Tiote will mean a lot to this team when we play teams. We have lacked steel in the middle of the park and been outplayed there in two games. He is that important to us, especially when we go to Everton and Man Utd away.

2-2 draw. They will dominate but I think we will see Ben Arfa scoring again and probably Ba from the spot. Everton were not very good against WBA, and we probably have Tiote back for this and with Simpson possibly out we will hopefully play a 4-3-3 to offer Anita more protection.

Ive liked the look of Amalfitano the times I saw him in pre-season. Why isnt he getting time ahead of Obertan? Otherwise I do agree with Dyeyzzon.

Its really simple, he came from playing I dont know how man games last season to play another four until late july, to then enjoy less than a months holiday to then get be unfit for a disruptive pre-season. Joke really that people complain, others left the squad in may and came back something like 8 week later or so. He has been out of the team for 3 weeks and played more game than most during this span without two proper pre-seasons. 4-4-2 with Anita meaning him having to drop deeper hasnt helped either.

Jonas needs to play centrally though. Somehow he is better there. He wins so much and covers so much, but cant produce one offensive threat ever.

Tend to agree tbh. He's a good midfielder, capable of very good performances but I've not seen much of this "deep lying playmaker" crap. You guys are mental.

Was poor, but still better than Cisse. Not back to his best though.

Ba, Cisse and Cabaye have been unbelievably crap all day. This 4-4-2 thingy isnt working. Put Ba on the left, play Cisse up top.
