Bundesliga Highlights on ITV4 in a minute

We played as shit as that in a lot of matches last season and won - Fulham (home), Villa (home), Blackburn (away), Norwich (home), Everton (home) to name a few. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don't. What is worrying is that we never start particularly well, our set pieces are absolutely woeful and fullbacks are going down like flies. Ba & Cisse don't look like they've ever met and Ben Arfa is basically playing a free role, the side is massively unbalanced and we don't like particularly fit. Other than that, tickety boo.

Neck spasms apparently. Went off injured on Thursday night

This weekend last season we played home to Fulham and were totally dogshit first half. Came out and scored two straight after half time. Same please!

What an atrocious half.

The kick off is 4pm at the request of international broadcasters, so basically it's your fault VI.

It's a ludicrous statement. "Still" a better side. That's why Arsenal finished ahead of them last season.

Why has Fergie dropped de Gea?

Didn't realise Agbonlahor was back on the bench for them

Quite handy that following four of the group games we have home games that weekend, might help a bit.

I would love to think the first thing Hughton did when he arrived at Norwich was tell Steve Morison that number 5 is not a suitable number for a striker and force him to change it.

Just catching up with MOTD from last night - Fellaini had an absolute shitter

After the window is closed I think it's an ok time to use it. I'd wait a week or two, though, to get a clearer idea of managers' plans with some players. That and after the two stupid international breaks, players coming back into the country early on Friday morning end up getting rested on the Saturday. I fear it will happen with Kagawa this year but I haven't even looked to see if Japan have a midweek game.

Wanting rid of Coyle? Yep. We're making the same mistakes time and time again, and I've lost count of the number of times we've collapsed in the second half. No tactical nous whatsoever and seemingly no motivational skills. Mick McCarthy? He has none of those things particularly but he'll probably get you promoted

They've signed all those players and SWP, Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora are in the team.

"Can spot a good player" is basically "has a TV license and watches BBC1 between 10.15pm and 11.30pm on a Saturday"

Huddlestone off

Chico off

2-2, Michu

Routledge, good lad

Hibbert came on for him if it's any consolation

Might be funny watching Cattermole chase the ball around at Swansea, but someone will get snapped
