4-0, good goal from Armstrong

Here's tiny Campbell, on for Coloccini. 80 played

Gouffy off, Armstrong on. Taylor off, Satka on. Haidara off, Dummett on. 75 played

"Oh fuck off!"

Don't think Sammy will be here too much longer. Think Pardew has Aarons ahead of him now and he's in the last year of his contract

Abeid for Colback and Sammy for Aarons - 68 gone work readers

Decent from Perez

3-0 to NUFC

Perez on for Riviere

Inswinging non-floaty corner, what is this shit?

Feel like I've been watching this for hours already

Well, it's not always been pretty but there's some decent causes for optimism, even if the opposition are shite. De Jong seems a really clever footballer, doesn't always do the obvious which is welcome. He has a good eye for a pass as you would expect. Not loads to say about Riviere but he's got a goal and an assist so he'll get confidence from that. We look canny quick on the break, I imagine that'll only improve further with Cabella and even Janmaat. Colback is ok, he's left footed which is a little bit of balance for once.

What an atrocious passage of play

Aarons is mint

Can't believe they have gone to adverts during the wreath laying, seems disrespectful

Ordered my last 50 from Panini and they sent me 48 plus two twice. If anyone has the badge of Mexico or Valon Behrami I have a handful of swaps you might hopefully be interested in

Only one of them can play in place of Suarez and none are even close to him. It's Bale and Spurs all over again

Chelsea 2-0 down at AFC Wimbledon and Liverpool 1-0 down at Preston. Pre-season is ridiculous

It's happened for a while, happens with league names as well

Drogba wants to go back on a freebie, guess that is more possible if this goes ahead

West Brom spending £10m on Brown Ideye.

I've picked Bony ourely because I thought he'd go to Liverpool. Remy is cheaper though so I'm all for it.

I wrote this to try and get myself motivated for the new season http://the4thofficial.co.uk/2014/07/17/10-reasons-to-welcome-back-club-football/?wt=4 [/shameless plug]

So their chairman calls us worse than shit then wants us to subsidise Marveaux's wages?

Yeah in the FA Cup. He's a goal threat from set pieces definitely, West Ham have a decent opening 4 games so tempting. Man Utd's starting fixtures basically mean you need one of RVP and Rooney plus a defender and maybe even one of their midfielders even though I have no idea how they will set up
