Not that encouraged personally. I think the Anita/Colback/Sissoko trio were ok surprisingly, the passing was a little better than usual, but we looked so limited going forward. No idea where the goals are coming from this season. Not sure City played that well either.

Want Aarons and or Perez. Will get Obertan and/or Taylor.

Not the total shambles I expected but haven't created anything. Could get ugly after the Pardtastic team talk.

I think he'll be deployed in the HBA role from last season. Desperation substitute after the game is lost.

This kit looks like it's made from used Big Mac wrappers. The sweat stains man.

Aarons. My word.

Actual adults are going to spend £50 on that. Voluntarily.

Hideous, but fine. A nice classic Umbro kit with a respectable sponsor would just introduce the temptation to buy one and give Mike Ashley money. A cheap, weirdly designed advertisement for a payday lender is very easy item to not buy.

I'd have a lot easier time feeling happy for Germany if Lothar Matthaus wasn't hanging around like a bad smell. Fuck off.

Well done Deutschland. The German smug will be unbearable now. Just toxic amounts of smugness.

They will hate him forever now

They'll be politely applauding on the streets of Berlin tonight.

Reaching the point in the game when ze Germans stop messing about and find a way to win.

Really good game of football for a change.

Factoring in Cabella and assuming Janmaat gets over the line, this summer has been more or less in line with my expectations, if not slightly better. If they can sign a competent goal scorer and a centre-half, maybe a poor, mismanaged side will stay poor and not get worse.

God I can't wait for next season.

No reason to be negative now. The best part of the season is easily going to be designing these symmetrical, aggressive, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 4-1-3-2 FM lineups where Ben Arfa is playing, Sissoko is playing in his best position and Cabella and De Jong are doing all the things they do in the video highlights, combining with the 20 goal a season striker we are getting. Before the actual real life football part, and the 90 minutes of losing possession, Colback lumping it forward and ultimately losing 0-1 to Hull.

That hair style and tattoos down your arm is going to be the defining visual feature of football in the 2010s in the same way that long hair and mustaches defined the 70s. When you watch football with your grandchildren decades from now and they ask why every footballer looks like that in old highlights, it's going to be a difficult trend to explain.

I can't see Droopy Face selling him to us even if we made a reasonable offer.

The Mascherano thing is embarrassing for the game. No concussion protocol at all...just comes straight back on. ESPN commentator even calling him "brave" and "seems to be ok."

FFS, first of all he played well from what I saw and secondly how can that be your headline on a night Germany beat Brazil 7-1 Press in England are so s*** its embarrassing ,reporting at its lowest common denominator Seems like a drunk Spurs supporter tabloid writer meeting a deadline.

At least people will forget about the Maracanazo.

"It was a memorable game."

City

Getting ole'd by Brazil's own support. German bastards. Nothing should ever be this good.
