Do you think he ever says that? Does he ever say "these are there for the taking, we was should be up 3-0 at 'arf time"?

Aw sorry to hear that Jill.

We've faced turd in Europe this season until now though, mate.

Oh shit :lol:

Does not compute.

I would go all out. I don't think Pardew will. Hopefully he genuinely rates Obertan over Marv which means he'll let Marv play in Kharkiv though As for the rest, who knows.

Cheers for the summary.

Very good performance from Colo.

It's a vicious cycle. Next game, having hit the keeper so much this game, he's guaranteed to try and hit the corners of the goal and miss the target completely

The Yanga-Mbiwa decision was very good. Looked more solid than Debuchy tbh. Obertan over Marv was a mistake though. Attacking movement before Metalist tired was still a problem. Not a problem I expect him to resolve.

Sometimes I love Saylor like Fucking hilarious, even when he's not trying to be

cabaye :lol:

Played well in parts, commitment/running top notch... but fucked up a fair bit in crucial positions. Gutted for us. Gutted for him. Gutted in general really!

Well, it was a very enjoyable nils-apiece. Certainly invoked a lot of passion on this most auspicious of commercial holidays. Very pleased with the performance in general, but I think we needed a result tonight tbh. Can't see Pardew playing a team quite this strong in Kharkiv with the Southampton game the Sunday after, and us not quite home and dry (in terms of Premier League survival). Metalist will be a little bit more fit by then too. Still hopeful, but I do feel like we've blown it a little bit. Marv really should have started as a sign of confidence. Before they tired towards the end, we were incapable of really creating much without blowing the game wide open - which is a bit of a problem. Marv has a Gouffran-esque guile which means we don't have to play end-to-end basketball to get a whiff. This tournament is my remaining real excitement for the season. Really hope we take a strong team to Kharkiv and give it a real go, but ultimately think that we're reaching now. Cisse... Different Demba, and we'd be through. Anyway, soldier on to the return leg

He bought everything else. Surprising.

Hope the ref gets lynched at the end.

Not sure I can take celebrating another goal :lol: Exhausting, innit?

*cough*MontrealScrewJob*cough*

Proper fucking wound up now, this is a joke.

ARGH FFS MAN

Love how long they celebrated though :lol: Fuck it, ignore the officials - it's 2-0

Proper cunt linesman.

Who is our designated penalty taker of those out there?
