I want to play football too.

Doesn't surprise me at all, Elliot's a complete bellend. Just look who wrote the article and lets compare bellends.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

Yes. Turn it off because the ref gave a booking. Not because we're absolutely shite. People

How is that not a yellow Deliberately taking him down or being a stupid prick. Both offenses worthy of a yellow.

What?! He barely deserved to finish the game, let alone get a lucky assist, especially let alone bonus points. This game, man. I didnt even remember that I had him. Or why.

Forgot to make subs for this weekend. Had Sanchez starting but wasn't too bad with Barry coming off the bench and grabbing an assist + 3 bonus.

He's apparently here for the 2nd time. Scored a hattrick in March vs Liverpooll. Also visited Brighton and Chelsea then. Agent says he's training with the reserves later in the week and that we're interested and that they'll hear more next week if it leads to anything. Oh and that he's waiting for a Finnish passport. Can't move before he gets that.

Seems like we've got two Finnish youngsters on trial. Don't know the other but one is a pretty highly rated 16 year old Mauro Severino. Scored a hattrick for the U18 yesterday vs Blackpool.

Nah. Was a poor pass behind De Jong and he wasn't happy. Was nowhere else to go at that point.

Quite the opposite for me. Thought we looked pretty dangerous going forward and had better balance as well. Defense played well. The difference between a draw and a win was Butland who saved at least 3 certain goals. Overal I thought it was our best and most balanced performance so far. We'll be fine if we continue to play like that.

Why the fuck isn't Janmaat even trying to close him down? Just letting them have free crosses in the box.

Not sure if I'm swapping Aguero for Pelle or Costa.

That's a good point. They studied the stats for the book Numbers Game and: "Corners are next to worthless; given the risk of being caught on the counterattack, with your central defenders marooned in the opposition’s box, their value in terms of net goal difference is close to zero." And with our lower than average conversion rate I'd bet our net goal difference over the last 5 years is minus something.

81 with Clyne, Darmian, Mata, Martial & Gomis to play. Probably my best week of the year.

This thread makes me incredibly sad. Fucking Pardew.

Why wouldn't he. They were there for the taking today. Chelsea was rubbish and we should have won that.

That was coming. We look so tired. We haven't kept the ball at all and have been running after them for 90 mins.

Putting more than two passes together in a row would be a start.

If we don't get back to playing football now we're fucked.

Obertan. Fuck. FUCK.

Wouldn't read that much into it. It would have been Anita & Colback if Colback was fit.

Seems like the long awaited Anita-Gini midfield is finally here.

On that flank that we havent really passed the ball to once.
