On flight to Johannesburg on Saturday night. Missing match.

Take Jonas out of the team and watch all our French flair players get rolled over with nobody to do the donkey work for them. Oh, and Raylor will get reamed. In the arse. Until it's raw.

Is our confidence actually on a high? We've drawn two matches on the bounce, one of which was an absolutely abject performance, and just barely overcome a Championship side in extra time. Not that I'm complaining about the results, they've been good, but don't see why we'd be any more confident than usual.

I'm still not at the point where I really love him like I did Hughton, but I have to say given my low expectations he's doing a refreshingly not-terrible job.

Four wins away from silverware Oh, wait, semis are two legs. Bollocks. Random did you know: for League Cup semis, the away goals rule is only applied after extra time. Really, really pissed me off a few days ago when I got to the 2014 league cup semis with Wimbledon and the players just walked off the pitch when I was expecting a shootout at 3-3 aggregate

"Medhi, Steady, Go"

Most unnecessary throwaway soopafan comment ever?

Aye, I'm so much more likely to by something off sportsdirect.com because of all the wonderful things Ashley has done for my club over the past few years.

I'm all for commercialization. Money is good. It's going to happen whether you like it or not so might as well join the party and reap the benefits. I wouldn't mind any of this at all if it was actually making money for the club. (Well, maybe I'd wish that the design of the ad was slightly less fuck ugly.)

No TV coverage for this anywhere on Earth. Guess I won't have to get up at an unholy hour to watch, at least.

Happy birthday to our new goal-every-two-games striker Just realized that he's the same age as me Thought he'd be much older.

I think our fans are starting to realize that it's not a fluke and he's actually a decent player. Wonder how long he will have to score goals for other clubs to take notice.

We should put out the best team available. Want to take the cups seriously this year.

The broadcasting station over here put on LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem as background music for the highlights

Better than Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney, and Dimitar Berbatov

God hates Torres and Berbatov.

That might be the moment that finishes him as a player. They're going to be playing that on TV for years and driving him completely insane.

So much for a Torres revival

Come on now Fergie, you know who you've got to bring on to kill this game off

Mata -> Torres looks as dangerous as fuck.

Fuck this, Man United really are as jammy as fuck

Torres having one of those brilliant moments where he makes himself look like his old self so Roman won't spend money on another striker.

Game on! Torres!
