The team has no character. Heads dropped at 0-1.

Love Silva. When everyone else around him is underperforming/bottling it, he always pulls them up by his bootstraps - or tries to.

Dzeko hasn't got the agility for this level. Turns so slowly.

Zabaleta has been fantastic.

Switched off very palpably for the throw-in.

Mascherano should be in the book. Second play-stopping foul in as many minutes.

Citeh aren't really doing a coordinated press up the pitch. Bit silly.

Citeh already seem too deferential tbh.

The walkway leading up to Wembley has been adorned with League Cup final adverts - it's absolutely revolting. Player profiles splashed up the walls either side of the walkway and returning to the station on the bridge it says "Thank you for making this a legendary final"

Spot on, Varadi.

Pardew said something similar when we played Arsenal or Spurs a few years back. We "let our hair down" at spurs a few years ago. Got whacked 5-0 the funnily enough... Took our trousers down more like.

I feel like there are two Mourinhos: - the one who can be quite charming and affable in a relaxed environment (like the one who gave the anecdote about telling Balotelli to calm down at half-time, and the one who talks about his respect for SBR); and - then there's Jose Mourinho in "game mode" who overdoes the mind games beyond the point of people caring or even paying attention (eg. "the little horse" horseshite) and is a horrible sportsman (eye-poking) and a fucking gooooodawful entertainer (2-0 shut-up shop) On balance though, he's the latter more than the former - and a bit of a knob.

West Ham always seem to have Spurs' number

It was a bold move. Then again, he's a bold man.

Aye, the concentric circles work much better than the inward facing cracks Carver is doing his job well enough: lightning rod for abuse from supporters

Has the "leave Britney alone" pic been shopped yet?

Pretty believable tbh. He was taught by Pardew himself and voices in his head from beyond the grave.

I'm of a similar feeling. Gone from loving to loathing NUFC. Hoping they lose every game, suffer a glut of injuries and lose their precious TV deal.

Haha. Brilliant this.

I think they knew that when they saw the fixture list like
