Nobody

Sick of seeing R.Taylor at LB.

Good news that he's playing tonight. Hope he chooses France, no bloody ACON.

Really hope Ferguson plays. Other than that, I'm not really fussed, though I hope there's a strongish team out there.

That was the first time we played against Given since he left, wasn't it?

Reckon we'll see 15 minutes of Ben Arfa, at most. Still, :fwap: :fwap:

Stoke and both Manchester teams. Can't believe the odds on Stoke, considering the mackems home form. Blatant home win coming up now, mind.

Where the fuck is Ferguson?

You need your head checked. Ridiculous comments. Santon is the best option available nevermind the price. He is a left back FFS, he made his name there and has been starting for Italy at that position as well. But he's right footed! :frantic:

Fuck sake! Step up, Shane!

How are your bairns coming on? Clark, Bannan & Delfounso, etc...... McLeish has been inexplicably playing Heskey as an attacking midfielder (no, seriously), but he's fortunately injured, which means Bannan will start on Saturday. I think Bannan is going to be a quality player. Delfouneso is the one I don't think will make it. Gary Gardner is the one I really, really want to see get his break as soon as possible, as he's the best of the lot. Literally at that.

Two quality goals in the Benfica - Man U game.

What a double save from the Zagreb keeper!

Swedish apparently. Aye, he's shite. Done well today, mind.

£27m £8m cheaper than Carroll then...

How much did City pay for Dzeko?

City are fucking great to watch, quality players all over the pitch. Yaya Toure is fantastic.

Wish I could bet on the refs fucking up in the City game.

Even Villareal - Bayern Munich should be a great game.

Can't decide whether to watch the City or United game, both should be cracking games.

Aww man, that's too good to be true, isn't it? Probably, would be funny as fuck if it was true though :lol:

Erm, yes purely because of how little time Santon has been given to prepare for the game... Aye, and if we signed Messi I still would have prefered Obertan to start this match simply because he's lived in England more than a month. What a horse-shit comparison :lol: It's not actually. Ryan Taylor at left back is that fucking bad. I ask again though, if Santon for some reason wasn't "ready" (maybe he's got diarrhea or something), where the fuck was Shane Ferguson?

Enrique knows the league. Santon doesn't. Simple. Nor does Ryan Taylor when it comes to playing a decent game at left back. Santon would not have been worse than Taylor tonight, and even if he was, it would have been a first, needed, step towards him "learning the league"(which is such an overused cliché, btw).

How many times had Enrique trained with Liverpool before making his debut for them? If a player is vastly superior (which I fucking hope Santon is compared to Taylor) and is fit, you play him, end of. Fair enough if there's not a big difference and you don't want to disrupt a team that's doing well, but that was not the case here, we all know Taylor is shit, a good couple of free kicks does not change that. In fact, fuck it, if Santon wasn't ready for whatever reason, where was Ferguson? Much, much rather see him than Taylor at LB.

I get the feeling that Pardew wants to play a different system, but doesn't have the balls to go for it. Instead, he makes changes in the games that changes the formation (today when Marveux came on, we looked like we went 4-2-3-1, in the Arse game he took Ba off and changed it at half time). Today we looked a lot better once Marveux and Sa.Ameobi came on, though that's mainly cause it was difficult to be any worse.
