Has anyone seen this Fabrice that plays for Malaga? For some reason, I've not heard of him until today. I just noticed that he's in Cameroon's squad for their big match today and has been seeing the pitch in La Liga this season. Only 16 as well.

His career here is over I think. By the time he recovers, he'll be in need of a long run of first team action which he won't receive here. I think there is still hope for him to make it as a top-level player, and Haris definitely has talent and quality, but he needs a move to a team in the lower divisions or elsewhere on the continent to continue his journey and further his development. I wish him well. Godspeed!

Yes, the 2014 WC qualification scheme is directly at fault for Africa's performance in the past. The lack of coherence and relevance to this post is shocking.

Nothing is wrong with prequalifiers. CAF has a similar amount of member nations and for the upcoming World Cup, the lowest 24 (I think) ranked sides have a knockout round to enter the main draw. There is no problem with giving more successful sides a bye to the group stages based on a numerical formula of past results. You cannot only focus it on certain incompetent teams, though. It would have to include at least 18 countries, as there are nine groups. It would be unfair to only make qualification more difficult for nations Interpolic thinks are irrelevant because they have less people than Peckham. UEFA's qualifying has an unnecessarily high amount of games, tbf. Massive and inefficient for both tournaments.

If I remember correctly, the booking was for releasing his inner demon all over the pitch, rather than the actual foul that proceeded it.

Actually, thinking of it, he hasn't been up to his original dominance since he that day last February where the Zambians had him laid on the pitch in tears. Maybe that contributed to his emotional instability.

Gignac>Ibrahimovic. The guy has been fantastic all season. It is amazing to watch. This is a brilliant match as well.

He's been a parody of himself this season. Some sort of joke.

The senior players in this team need to forcibly hold Bigirimana down and remove that monstrosity from the top of his head.

You must have missed the first twenty minutes, when couldn't possess the ball more than fifteen seconds and defended corners like inefficient children. It is funny the two title contenders we've played have had their two "best performances of the season" against us. You have to feel it more Newcastle than the other side.

Yeah, I've changed my opinion on this. No one involved with the club seems comfortable with him in goal. Everything he does is two or three times slower than it should be. It's not an indictment of him. At this point in his career, he isn't good enough for this level of football, and unlike some others in the team, he cannot hide.

Tiote has a serious problem, and we are enabling his behaviour

For all of his talent, Tiote's behavior on the pitch is genuinely stupid.

When the other team is camping around your penalty box, this tends to happen, rubbish. Enough with the contract.

We haven't had meaningful possession at all to this point. The whole match has been in our half.

We have to be aggressive. If we sit back, they'll overwhelm us. Between the crowd and our aggression, Man U need to be the team feeling pressure.

I wouldn't wish financial insolvency on any team, but they need to calm down with that crazy figure. Already too expensive before he's achieved anything of note.

How much would Zaha cost? Rough,uncut diamond,in my estimation. I wonder how Palace are financially. Moses was probably a better prospect and didn't get much for him at all. I think they were in administration?

What do you think about coownership? I've really never understood why it was allowed.

De Bruyne Forgot about him. Must be rubbish to come in as a highly touted young player, only for the club to spend 60 million on younger, better players in the same position. Frankly, having highly paid players like that out on loan generally isn't good policy, but I'm not sure we can really cap the number of loan players. I still think it's wonderful for young players. I'd be more keen on a age limit than an actual limit on the number of players.

You know I support the loan system, man. We should use it more. No reason Shane has been here his whole career.

Disgraceful. Don't know, the Lukaku/Benayoun loans is a bit unsavoury, but most of them are young players off to foreign countries and the lower leagues..

Bad day for Hughton, just watching the Chelsea match and this could become quite a disgraceful score if Chelsea are willing.

I think they'll survive in the end. Just as with last season, they'll be much better once the chaos settles.

Torres is the slowest player I've ever seen. Shoot the ball!!
