They did swap, though, and it will have still skewed the data for the "6 players within the width of the centre circle" comment, as it always does.

I just want us to play players in their best positions in a shape the whole team is sure of that doesn't completely undermine our own ability to perform. Lovely passing play that cuts through the opponnents final third is just a pipe dream. Without Santon, I thought Pardew would choose a more sensible corner taker, but no, he had Dummet taking all the corners this time. So we're treated to the site of him running to the top right corner and sprinting to get back to defend as a left back while Debuchy is at a loss as to whether he should chase back and cover his own side or make an allowance for Dummett and go more central. He ran about 2 mile more than he needed to. We had 6 midfielders/attackers whose overall position was as narrow as the centre circle... http://i58.tinypic.com/ax1mwm.jpg .. they all seemed to wander left and right at their own whim...usually left, leaving Cisse as a hopeless cause on the right. Gouffran and Sissoko's average positions will be like that because they swapped wings.

GOAL?

Only joined a couple of weeks back. Was booked for an awful tackle before giving away a penalty last week, got hooked at half-time today. The delayed showing of that game has been put back until 10.55pm due to the bad language of the crowd Usually on BBC Alba at 5.30pm. Never heard anything like it.

NO MORE GOALS

Yes

Nar, it's the turtle.

Gimp, this has to stop

Aye. They're knocking that one down.

That is fucking shocking like

I didn't like the school metaphor, let it down IMO Well place your own little metaphor in there instead and you get the same outcome People jumping in to defend Marv over Pardew, doesn't make sense. Quite shocked you hold this viewpoint if I'm honest, Brett.

I thought that was quite good

I deserved that.

"DUST"
