Taylor Swift

No Parma

That was good.

Also Dave as in David as in David Beckham.

Spurs have played well in the second half. Chelsea just don't have anyone that can break a defense down.

Good move Pressure's definitely on Owen now.

That's interesting. He's right about the English market. Milner for 12m mackems.gif I'm confident that in about 40 hours, we'll all be much happier than we are now. And in two weeks' time, that's when it will actually matter. It's all well and good having a good team on paper but, as we know, that will mean fuck all when they're on the pitch. In this respect, I think we'll have a better season than last purely because we've got KK as manager.

which of course, shows your theory to be bollocks What did you think of our performance against Man Utd? What do you think of our signings so far (the cheap and expensive ones)? Do you think KK is lying through his teeth when he says that the decision to sell Milner was his? Do you believe Ashley when he says that KK's got full control of who goes/stays in the first team? Honestly, you just seem to pop up in negative threads or turn threads into negative ones. What were you saying a couple of weeks ago about Ashley wearing Coloccini's shirt when the signing hadn't been confirmed? What was that, I didn't hear you? Oh yes, he did sign. And what about the Gutierrez hold up that you and UV were complaining about? Oh, that turned out to be quite a big deal, didn't it?

It's like NE5 shows up here only to say 'I told you so' when the funny thing is that there's still time for everything to change.

Possibly leaked from the club. Would be a brilliant PR move as well. Leak the offer of a better contract, and whatever happens now, they'll come out looking good. Either Owen signs and they're seen as a regime that can keep our best players, or he goes and is seen as a traitorous cunt who we'll be better off without (arguable, anyway). Like KK said, we only want players who want to stay and are committed. So if Owen's not, especially if he's been offered a pay rise for doing fuck all in the past 3 seasons, we will be better off without him.

What? The ref was okay. In fact, they should probably have gotten a penalty for Colo's tackle on van Persie early on in the game. We were just too slow today. The 120 minutes obviously had an effect on our team and you can't have tired legs and start lethargically against a team like Arsenal. They pounced and that was that. Move on. We've got a good run of games now, but before that, many of our players (especially the older ones like Beye and Butt) will have a chance to rest and hopefully by the time the Hull game comes, we'll have a few new players, the return of our injured players and a well-rested bunch. Considering our fixtures so far, we've done very well; took a point from the champions, dominated Bolton at home, into the third round of the league cup then lost to a team who've only lost 1 league match at home in 3 seasons. Honestly, what the fuck is everyone complaining about? Our season starts proper on September 13th at St. James' Park and I'm confident that we'll play them off the park. Our squad is already decent at the moment and many people seem to be underestimating the effect that KK will have on our players. This squad is already better than the squad that finished 12th last season but now we've swapped Allardyce with Keegan, so we're definitely going to be better. Cheer up, folks.

No, they don't. Tried last year (twice, even) but got refused both times. Maybe I just need to let them know that I've got a billion pounds locked up somewhere.

Two of our toughest games of the season out of the way and we actually got a point from them. Has been a decent start and I'm hoping the signings will lift the mood going into the home game against Hull.

Disappointed with Beye tonight. Was not ambitious enough with the ball and actually quite slow defending their attacks. Maybe it's the injury, maybe it's not, but he's had a slow start to the season.

Thought he wasn't at his best tonight, but neither was anyone else in our team (except maybe Shay). We didn't defend as a team and Taylor and Colo were exposed far too often.

That got to me too. I'm listening to the same commentary. Been actually a decent one, not biased, but that thing with Barton was ridiculous. Out of order for smiling? Fuck off. And then 'utterly stupid'? What was? Making a decent tackle?

FT. Thank fuck it was only 3.

Barton's first touch is a lunge on Nasri Good tackle, as well.

What? Been one of the positives for today. Kept the ball really well, good footwork and made himself available.

Their movement's superb.

Is it us, or is it them?

Jesus christ, van Persie.

Fucking shit. 3-0.

Guthrie. Good strike.

Nice ball from Jonas. We're improving.

Fucking hopeless, Charlie.
