How far we've fallen when that first half is considered promising. We didn't even half a half chance in 45 minutes, just put a few passes together a couple of times in midfield.

He doesn't offer the sheer levels of invisibility that we get with Gouffran though.

What's the story with Ferrerya?

Look forward to our mongbase getting on Cabella for trying stuff. Gouff giving a masterclass in hiding out there.

Pardew bellowing out like a big bellowing cunt.

Pointless flick from Cabella. That'll be the end of him then.

Look organised if completely toothless thus far.

Some loud applause that.

The transition from Jonas to Gouffran was seamless in fairness to Pardew.

They looked cack. Not sure this business of playing a 3-5-2 for a while until he gets players back is all that clever like. If he was looking to implement it long term then fair enough, but surely he should be looking to set the team up the way he wants them to play long term? Anyway, still early doors. He's a good manager who'll likely sort them out eventually.

Pointless because everybody has him Exactly. Playing NFL fantasy football has ruined the Premiership one for me, so shit.

Lass bought me the 1927 shirt for my birthday recently. Dat material.

Colback FFS.

No, just had mad wicked spin.

Holy shit! Said it at the time it looked like it might spin back but when the feed didn't show it assumed it hadn't. Would have been insane.

The cynicism on here about absolutely everything is delicious. I still think we should give Santon a proper go at RB personally. He's generally looked shaky there I know but with a run of games he might grow into it defensively. As an attacking outlet he has some real potential IMO, but I can't see him ever realizing it at LB at he cuts inside almost every time he gets forward and then has nowhere to go. Let Dummett and Haidara battle it out at LB and actually spend some money on a striker and a wide player.

Johnny Giles on Irish TV as Robben was consoling the young lad in the crowd... "He'll probably dive into the crowd in a second."

Some very saveable penalties. Get the fuck in!!

Argentina are less deserving of a loss, I'd say.

This has descended to such an awful level.

Kind of hope the Germans stuff whoever wins.

Aguero man, turn and run with it.

If Pata's not the biggest gimp in the room you know some serious shit is going down.

I think the over the top focus on Neymar did hurt them tbh Flip. They basically went out there trying to emotion their way to victory and when it didn't go their way they blacked out and shipped 4 goals in the space of 11 seconds (approx.) There was no way they should have been playing so gung-ho, it was footballing suicide. Sorry you had your own Superbowl moment, I'm very familiar with that feel bro.
