This is boring.

Lovely rendition of "we know what you are" there

What just happened here?

Any excuse to have a go at the blacks. Blackedia

He doesn't though.

Honestly I wouldn't play Ben Arfa unless he was being played as a second striker. If we lose the ball while defenders are out of position against spurs, we WILL be punished.

I'm scared at how high my expectations would start getting if we actually won this.

If it's any consolation, this exact sort of thing happens with other national teams too.

I remember all of this so vividly now. Paul Huntington scored a goal for us

Hopefully Perch and Gosling I think he was on about Besty & Raylor.. seems like Best is out for the season. He was kind of hinting at not starting Both Ba & Cissse together, got the impression he could be looking at a 4-5-1 If he does this and we lose, HTT's ensuing post would probably be long enough to break the internet.

ST for my local club cost me roughly 30 pounds this year It's ridiculous. For this much money, I think I'd just keep buying one as a yearly donation to the club even if I were overseas and unable to attend matches.

You'd certainly hope that he's already far too good for league one given that he's started two games for us.

Great news. Hope he does better than the last few players we loaned to the Championship.

Who says everything needs to be played on the floor anyway? Efficiently set up teams can do both. Like us.

Honestly, the first thing they need is a competent manager who isn't an angry, narrow-minded, past-it troll.

Ah right, yeah there's no chance of us spending £20 million+ in any transfer window, let alone this summer. The CL money will fix that.

Just realized I won't be able to see this because I'll be taking LSATs on Sunday morning. Stupid game couldn't have been on a Sunday.

This is good news lads. Means the FA won't steal Pards off us

FFS. He was at Liverpool before us and had a couple of loans. I'm really glad he's playing as he is. I did find it quite strange how last season was such a non-event for him, he'd been such a pivotal player in the promotion season and I wasn't with these people who said he wasn't a Premier League player. It looked like the Premiership was too fast, strong and athletic for him. Whereas you do get more time and space in the Championship. Danny has excellent technical ability, especially for a British midfielder. And this season he's worked on his conditioning and has shown for more desire for the game. Disagree, I think the Championship is played at a ridiculous tempo, it's kick and rush and a lot of in your face tackling. It's not like. It's slower physically, mentally and technically. It's nowhere near as quick as the top flight and you get far more time and space - anybody with an ounce of technique thrives down there. Look at how many goals/assists people like Taarabt and Wittingham plunder. You only have to be above average with the ball and you'll p*ss the division. The amount of times we would gift possession away and not be punished was ridiculous too. Fair points. Perhaps it is the constant mistakes and rushed playing style of most players in that league that make it seem like the game is going at a million miles an hour. I don't watch it that much nowadays TBF. Still guilty of gifting possesion away too often now. Blackburn and Villa nearly gave me a coronary Jonas looked like Messi in that division. Just so piss easy for him to keep the ball.

Even if pass completion actually had a strong correlation with "good football" (I suspect it might not,) putting Ben Arfa in the team really wouldn't improve our pass completion rate.

Series went to shit immediately after it left Newcastle, just like Andy Carroll's career.

Necro-ing old threads is always worth a hoot.

I try to convince myself otherwise but common sense indicates that he's gone in the summer if we don't actually finish fourth. With his current numbers the "top teams" wouldn't leave him alone even if he didn't have a release clause. With his release clause? We've probably got a pile of bids stacked up in front of the fax machine already. Suppose it's best not to dwell on it and just enjoy what we have while we have it.
