    Alan Pardew

    Might as well just take every corner short. Actually, if the prevalent statistical opinion is true, that's what every team should be doing to begin with.
  2. The defending for the goals was poor but we approached the game with the right plan and just came up against an all around great performance from them, thoroughly deserved. Cisse and Debuchy obviously need dropping but we have flat out no alternatives whatsoever.
  3. Don't suppose we can have any complaints. They defended very, very well and were clinical when we fucked up and gave them opportunities.
  4. I'm kind of pissed. Feel like this could have potentially been a 6-0 spanking before dodgy defending kicked the wind out of our sails

    Saw the match score. Thought surely it would be too good to be true. It wasn't
  6. Unsure if this has been mentioned but apparently the 2015 Europa League winners will be getting a place in the CL group stages. Could be a massive help towards give teams an incentive to take it seriously.

    Loïc Remy

    Surely he's either a rapist or we won't be able to sign him permanently. We're not allowed to be happy.

    Aye, but Ki will. Well, at least he's not in danger of scoring any goals

    Sympathy to my American friends. At least Ji never plays
  10. Arsenal can stay in the top 4 without arbitrarily large sums of money because they were already one of the largest and most successful clubs in England before the big money came in. Unfortunately, at this point I think mega money is a prerequisite for moving up from the lower tier and making top 4 consistently
  11. I've always wondered how realistic is to measure a player's pace from the stands. Obviously if someone is repeatedly beating someone for pace that's a decent clue as to who is faster but depending on the situation that might have more to do with momentum or just shit defending than foot speed. I concede that some players are just so ridiculously fast or slow that it's visible, but I feel like that for the vast majority fans wouldn't be able to make an accurate assessment of how fast they are.

    Wish we(Korea) had a striker half as good as Shoal tbh

    They have a problem with playing matches on really off-nights. No one is going to stay in on a Saturday night to watch a soccer match. Wait, I just heard Obafemi Martins. Suddenly interested.

    I'm so bored I'm watching Seattle v. Chicago on a Saturday night.
  15. We'll be pretty bad either way so find it hard to be too angry about this

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    I really need to stop myself from thinking "this is the year he does it consistently"
