Brilliant.

Pearce man!

Think Pearce should be sent home on the back of this embarrassment that is his commentary.

A thunderbastard akin to his goal to West Brom would be nice...

Pearce is making a song and dance out of it.

This is all kicking off haha.

Wahey!

Palacios. Karma.

Debuchy on the ball: "was he waving farewell at St. James' Park at the end of last season?" Totally irrelevant. Looked like he was saying his goodbyes at Anfield tbf...

I miss Yohan.

What a f***ing waste if it turns out to be true. Well done Alan, you've ruined the career of one of the finest players of his generation.

That's going to give him nightmares tonight now.

Eh? What was that?

Oh wow.

Boom.

its hard to think of someone less qualified to wear that number, one of the things in football that really bugs me actually is players wearing the wrong number for their position, recall getting infuriated any time I saw Gallas wearing 10 for Arsenal. Same with Gyan wearing number 3 for Ghana tbh I got mildly annoyed seeing Sagna wearing 3, hes a rb he wears 2 not 3 thats for the left back! And yes I am aware of how petty a gripe that one in particular is. Coloccini wearing the number 2 is weird too but after 5+ years, I'm used to it now...

Japan are going to get hammered here I reckon.

Still can't get my head around Tiote wearing number 9 for Ivory Coast!

I prefer him this way - speaking his real opinion rather than just saying something generic and adhering to some sort of norm.

Before tonight I thought RB would be an issue but it seems both sides could be an issue...

The best we've played in ages and yet we've lost. There were some promising signs though, Sterling in particular has justified his position in the starting 11 and our attacking play was decent tonight. Rooney was so frustrating tonight though, argh. Pressure's on for Thursday, Uruguay will be up for it and we need to be up for it too, we have to be.

That technique!

Had to do it. On reflection, aye, taking one for the team and all that...

Silly foul.
