It could have been worse, at least you weren't being compared to Elton John, this time.

He must have a low centre of gravity because he turns when other normal players would fall over.

He's too underrated by a few, his runs take loads of pressure off us even if they do sometimes end with us getting nothing.

He's right about not needing balance, you don't have to post something negative about him just because you've posted something positive about him.

I only criticised him for his substitutions because they could have been costly, he needs to improve his substitution because they are causing us problems and he regularly gets them wrong.

Howay man lads. Credit where it's due. At least be balanced. I did, I gave him credit for moving Gouffran, his other decisions during the game were shit and he invited West Ham onto us.

It was a great pass, it reminded me of Veron who used to play for Man Utd, he used to be able to play those sorts of passes all the time. Aye, thanks for that Christ.

His in-match decisions were shit apart from when he put Gouffran up front but even then I wouldn't have brought Gouffran on in the first place.

I thought that he looked steady, nothing flash and no risks taken so all in all, a good enough start.

If he can start scoring goals he'll be immense as he has everything else you would want from a forward and he's an important player for us even without the goals.

He's a crazily good footballer.

First half we were excellent and second half did just about enough. Shelvey played well but ran out of legs in the second half which was always going to happen. Wijnaldum was brilliant and is possibly our most important player. McClaren need to grow a pair and his negativity could have cost us as he invited them onto us with his substitutions.

Our fans are morons.

Austin is going for a canny price, oh wait!

Wijnaldum is class.

No 23 innit.

He could have hardly done better during his first 45 minutes, he's fluffed a couple of passes but all of the others have been good and mainly positive to drive us forwards, we couldn't have asked anymore of him.

Coloccini is playing really well and he's starting to lead by example again.

We're like a different team today and are so positive and deserve the two goals that we've taken brilliantly. Shelvey is having a class debut so far and he's made the difference.

I remember when Rob Lee didn't sign for Boro because he didn't want to move so far away from London, he signed for us instead.
