Too many poor passes.

Should have got more from that.

10 mins injury time. This game will go on until 8pm.

Same.

Bruno giving the ball away again.

Of course.

Nice to see our fans clapping `Mings off, no one wants to see a player out of the game for a long time.

He looks class, but we need to exploit his alleged defensive frailties more.

So could we at the moment.

Bruno a couple of sloppy moments on the ball. Get tuned in lad.

Tonali has been class so far. So incisive.

Get in!

What a peach of a cross from Tonali!

Looks like no one fancies stopping Diaby much. Our defence is bricking it when he gets the ball.

Soft goal.

Gordon having a stormer so far, both ends of the pitch.

Gordon and Tonali on FIRE!!!

I like the predicted weather part personally. You can't really go wrong looking out the window.

I'd be genuinely shocked if Eddie hasn't learned from that game. We won't be anywhere near as sloppy today.

We obviously only had so much money we could spend in that window, I'm sure Howe would have loved him here at £45m. But thanks to FFP, a club which became rich through thumbing their nose at financial restrictions are now able to buy him for twice that amount. Isn't that grand?

They'll be selling but were obviously hoping for an auction in their attempts to get a daft fee. Wouldn't be surprised if he still ends up here if the price is reasonable, Howe seems to rate him highly.

Levy wanted him gone so bad, wouldn't surprise me if he gave him a nice fat envelope under the table to sweeten the move.

Keeping my expectations firmly grounded for this one. We have a tough start, would have preferred to meet Villa a few games in preferably, they have players who can hurt us on the break. Hoping for a win, but think a draw is more likely.

Just watched it again with my missus as well, made me think I was a bit harsh on Shearer, she loved it despite his monotone dirge. She doesn't really follow football either, but she loved Amanda's enthusiasm.
