As if Adebayor wont go AWOL for a week or three if Togo lose I'd rather be safe than sorry

Togo win now please.

Smashing, hope Baba has a party tonight! Good lads!

Get in.

Oof!

Howay Nigeria! Would love Cheick back for Spurs... and want Baba to be happy to of course.

If you're always talking bollocks you'll get slaughtered, people with reasonable points and good arguments disagree all the time. There's a big difference there. Truth, as always, lies somewhere in the middle. He's not particularly quick, but he's certainly not "slow". He hasn't defended particularly well at times, but he's not a bad defender. There's definitely merit to the argument that he should only get better in time, too. His start could probably be filed in the "solid, if unspectacular" folder for me at least.

So what have you to say in this case? He got done by Agbonlahor against Villa, who is still one of the quickest players in the league despite his recent injury trouble. Oscar went past him on one occasion yesterday - the only instance in the game where I can remember Debuchy really looking poor. Still, Oscar had momentum in his favour if we're just purely talking acceleration/speed. Similarly I could point to the instance where Debuchy drove out from our box at pace to begin the move which ended up with Sissoko's toe-poke at Cech. He looked anything but "slow" on that occasion. I'm not saying he's Linford Christie, but he's no slouch. Again you're seeing things that aren't there and making God-awful comments besides.

Hey ATB, your football knowledge is outstanding.

About the 20th time this had been answered now.

Plays one of his best all-round games since joining: drop him.

Thought Santon was smashing today like, but don't think his class has ever really been in doubt.

Hold on. He's seen it now.

Damn you bimpy.

Have a guess.

Benched today for Everton and has had a pretty identical record to Cisse since they both arrived. He's been playing directly up top in a far better team this season too, although you could potentially argue the same for Cisse last time around maybe using "slightly" instead of "far". Has Jelavic been deployed on the wing? Nope, although if you look up a little bit to the bolded text you'll see a little caveat relating to this.

He used to love Habib Beye as well, was always amused by that relationship

Glad this didn't adversely affect today's result, or the performances of the French players in particular.

Thought that at the time too about Terry.

Gerrin.

Nah, 14th/21st in the Europa then 24th for Southampton.

Southampton at Home it is then. Not arsed about the two Metalist games Mole?
