Cowardice and bad management. McClaren please stand up.

Nobody wants Cisse coming off the bench to change a game That makes no sense. So if we had Messi we would still start with Cisse because Cisse cannot change the game from the bench?

Haven't heard that one in a while

I'm close to calling the decision to leave Mitro and Perez on the bench at home to the side bottom of the league cowardice but it's only 20 min gone so I shall save the vitriol for later.

Perez and Mitro on the bench is horrific stuff. Cisse is dogshit so far. SDJ as unimaginative as ever. "Mature" performance no doubt. So far.

So Perez and Mitro on the bench? Did I hear that correctly?

This would be awesome. The amount his dad will rake in with stadium tours, whew.

"Who's your next messiah?" <blank space> "We couldn't think of anyone famous from this area..."

Someone get this to the AO boys, deserves to be on their front page as an editorial!

How long until we finally have footage of the syringes falling out of Ranieri's bag and Wenger screaming "I told you so!" These guys are totally doping, dude. I'm with Wenger on this.

I'd hate to cross you, mate.

I wonder how much they'll spend in January. And still finish mid-table.

Yeah Brummie's the only reason I would feel back momentarily when / if Villa went down.

de Jong is clearly a very technically talented player, as well as very intelligent, and his style of play is probably the most suited in our squad to breaking through teams that sit deep and get bodies behind the ball (which is what I expect Villa will do). I'd prefer to see us trying to pass through opposition like that rather than dribbling. So let's pick a guy who's done f*** all for us creatively as opposed to the guy who's got us goals and assists this season, reducing his contribution to 'dribbling?' Who said anything about dropping Perez? I'd play both, I just think you're being incredibly dismissive about de Jong's ability as a footballer. Your argument was about skill and trickery, not scoring goals, so you reduced his skillet yourself Fair enough. I think tensions have arisen amidst #teamPerez and #teamSDJ, but no reason we shouldn't have both on the pitch, along with Mitro. Absolutely nobody is left in #teamCisse.

After the way they went on with us? Not only do i hope they get relegated, i hope they never return tbh. Yup. Fuck them after some of their fans treated us. I've been waiting for them to go down ever since, and tweet "who's your messiah now?" The tweet's been ready and drafted since then

I'm not against giving him a run in the team, just think Perez or Mitro shouldn't be sacrificed as they've done far more than this guy to deserve their place. Even more so than Cisse, who I think should be dropped.

I honestly fail to see this Keyser Soze effect that De Jong's had on people. I just don't get it. Yes, he's looked calm and mature, but no way in hell should he be in the team ahead of Perez or Mitro. We need to find a way to fit them all in, but if it has to be one or the other, De Jong needs to produce something, anything, of substance to dislodge those two.

I have to watch that again, memories of my childhood just came flooding back. Gonna have to slowly unpeel my poster of Pamela Anderson as it's been stuck shut since I was 14.

If Perez doesn't start at home against Villa, and Cisse and De Jong are both preferred over him, I'd think McClaren has lost it. We need to go at them and attack, with trickery and skill, and former two provide neither. Perez has to be on the pitch, even if it's on the left.

Yep, would love to see Thauvin get an extended run down the left, with maybe this guy making late runs into the box with Perez behind Mitro and Sissoko on the right. Anita would have to be sole DM then.

I would love this, it would be pretty gung-ho, but Anita will be like a rabbit in the headlights then Even though he already does all of Colback's work. Basically Gini will have to keep going backwards quite a bit to help Anita out and bring the ball forward. I feel like almost having Tiote in Anita's place if we're to play so attacking.

So basically a goodlooking Kevin Nolan, folks.

Just went off at an Arsenal supporting friend of mine. This is the same guy to whom I've outlined over the years why Pardew completely fucked us over and was absolutely horrible for us, as he both saw and heard me through the worst of the Pardew years. Turns out, all that was for naught, as today he watches the Pardew In A Pub clip and goes on about how NUFC fans treated him badly and our main issue is Ashley, we've had worse managers than him, etc. So basically, even people to whom you show actual statistics and proof for years and years, only end up buying the media tagline and not actually listening to you. Basically, this, in a nutshell, is why humanity is fucked.

He's turned out to not be the hopelessly flapping turd I'd expected. His throws are better than Krul's kicks. 5/7.
