The dutch commentators on the stream I was watching today spent 5 minutes talking about Aliadiere. It's got a certain inevitability about it. He is a truly terrible player though.

Seriously, what the fuck just happened? Imagine if Best's perfectly good goal had been allowed.

Just come up on 5live. Failed bid confirmed

Kluivert wasn't really our fault though. His downfall can be blamed on laziness and Nando's chicken.

Sounds like a challenge

I have always thought this. IIRC we tried to sign him but he refused to stay as we were going to keep playing him left back. He's always been a class apart IMO. It's also a shame we lost Hamann, but again it wasn't really our choice. The obvious answers are Beardsley, Shearer and Carrick in their youth days.

I don't understand the Ranger hating. It's much easier to see the ball he should have played in slow motion. The way he had his body shaped, I'm not at all surprised he didn't see the options. Williamson, Simpson and the midfield absence are much more to blame for the goal.

Williamson did very poorly to get turned there.

Fuck's sake. Never has inevitable been more appropriate.

Just needed to lift that a few inches ffs

voley edge of box to back of net i think Nah, wanktastic piece of control then hit on the half volley. Looked like he hit it into the corner, but on the replay Cudicini got a hand to it to push it there. Was just too well struck for him to stop.

WTF was he doing there anyway?

ZOMG! COLO!

After Jonas maybe Jonas, along with Best, has been by far our outstanding performer today tbf. Sure, he still can´t cross, pass or shoot though. Crosses today have been pretty good I think. Big Andy would have put one away by now.

Fucking crossbar

Nice play Jonas there, and a great cross. What's going on?

Fuck

I know it's not technically today, but I've only just seen the Tevez goal from yesterday. Bloody hell!

Some of the fan comments are priceless and they all seem to think that Ameobi's amazing. I'm especially fond of: "...Now Ameobi i thank God for you but also ashame because is now that you are old that you want to serve your fatherland although its not too late to make a change and face reality more grease to your elbows you strike the way you do for your club you are also welcomed the paramount king have spoken with the inspiration from above good luck to every one of you that are selected work to instruction so our dear coach can also excel. Go Super Eagles Go we are behind you with all our support for TOGETHER WE ARE THE POWER OF 9JA. UDEMBA 1 OF IBUSA."

BBC Sport football front page still says: "Arsenal-Man City is the stand-out tie of seven Premier League fixtures on a bumper Wednesday of football, involving the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham." The most predictable bore draw of them all in a night of crazy results.

I think Ranger's just shown Pards' selection to be completely correct

I did not see this coming.
