Norwich are terrible. Nothing about them is acceptable or Premiership standard. I cannot believe that they are comfortably safe and beat us 4-2.

It's exactly things like that and his run in our box (but, but Williamson something like it!) earlier that is stopping me joining the 'burn him, burn Pardew as a witch!' crowd. I watched him for years in OM and he didn't make a habit of doing stepovers in the penalty box. He hasn't been doing these sorts of things here for the most part either. Maybe he just awoke this morning and decided he wasn't ever going to clear the ball.

The change was warranted and the formation has not changed at all. Increased solidity is important.

Who told him it was alright to pass the ball across our own penalty like that? Is he mad?

Get the feeling that its not supposed to be asymmetrical like that. Just what does Simpson do that Santon doesn't do better? Simpson is notably better at being in the general area of where he is supposed to be positioned, something Davide has struggled with.

I have no idea what Guthrie is trying to do. Holding on to the ball too long and continuously trying overly ambitious balls when in possession. Jonas cannot actually defend at all, but he is putting in a great amount of running and has been very good when coming forward late. The problems will arise (as they did for Argentina) when the other team actually has enough of the ball to attack him consistently, but it may work for a match like this.

Jonas played full back against Nigeria in the World Cup and was raped viciously and constantly. I don't want him there.

Is there any reason to believe or not believe what John is saying? I am not blessed with information regarding Justin's true sexual preference and John would have more knowledge than me (and his daughter). I've no opinion on the quotes, but it would be better if they just let the man rest in peace. His soul was tortured enough during his Earthly life.

Given his age, I would speculate HCM. Possibly the most terrifying thing for me to think about as a young athlete. This sort of thing seems to disproportionately affect African athletes for some reason. We must improve testing and prevention by all means.

Maybe he comes back. Fadiga made it back. Evander Sno is still playing. Kanu returned from heart transplant. Until I am told otherwise, I will hope for the best. The signs are good at all, and objectively my thoughts are negative, but there is always a chance he may make it. I'm praying for the guy, he still has much to do in his life.

Dortmund are the best team in Germany and OM beat them twice in the group stage with an aggregate score of 6-2. No team in Germany should intimidate them. People underestimate Om because the team in rubbish.

Not scared of Bayern Munich. Happy with the draw. The semifinal against Real Madrid will be difficult.

Ray Wilkins is a fool. When does the draw actually start?

I don't really have qualms with Danny Simpson. I think he is a slightly below average Premiership right back. Nothing more or less. The problem is that he is always in the team. There is no alternative in the manager's mind. Do you realise he has played all but ~15 minutes of the Premiership campaign (subbed off against Tottenham)? He's started every cup match as well. It is good that he is a fit player, but I don't understand why no one else can be given a chance.

I give no credit to Pardew here. I think Hatem of five years ago would have blown up by now. He has been matured by injury and age is working hard to perform for the club that took a chance on him. If Pardew allow him space to live, this could be an extremely fruitful time for his career.

We'll get Real and APOEL will get Barcelona. They want the Spanish boys to go as far as possible, and they want both of these horrendous team out as soon as physically possible. OM are a big club. They belong in the later stages of this competition. Do not let the English and Spanish oligopoly confuse you.

What the hell is happening? We're through, I cannot believe this. :lol:

I hate everything about this game. I am going to spend three hours watching my team lose to a team that cannot even pass to each other.

Both legs of this have been extremely poor and negative. Unsurprising given both teams are in terrible form and short of confidence. I'm amazed that we are 45 minutes from the CL quarterfinals, tbh, and anything can happen from there. Anything can happen in the second half, but I really can't see Inter finding a goal at the moment. Absolutely no belief. Off-topic, but does Ramos still play right back for Spain? Has he switched to the centre for country as well? Really, I just want to know if Azpilicueta is anywhere near the squad.

Pass hit someones knee and deflected to Kelly who fired straight at keeper. Fantastic. Suarez's pass was headed directly to Kelly anyway.

Welcome to human nature. It be like that sometimes. He was shrugged off too easily for the goal. Just as Gibbs and co. were too easily disposed of by Hatem for ours. Of course these are great moves by good players, but the defenders are playing at the top level too, and Williamson made it quite easy for Van Persie. My main question about the goal still relates to Walcott being behind both our left sided players and one on one with our centreback seconds after the restart.

He looks laboured. The same way that Oba did after Gilmore's Groin in the relegation year or Ben Arfa at the start of this season. He gives a lot of effort, but when he runs it looks like he is carrying too much weight. He is distinctly lacking for acceleration and aggressiveness.

I feel Tiote has been extremely average all season, and he is still the most vital player other than Coloccini and Krul. If we are going to do anything in these last ten matches, he needs to be fit and violent.

He's not a scapegoat. Think back to the sequence...we have a somewhat promising attack...Simpson receives the ball in an area where he can cross or pass back to a more competent player in the centre, he instead runs into the corner earning a throw...from this position, Simpson has two options: Throwing it long at the targetman in the box, or short to Shola, who can either waste time or attempt to continue possession/the attack. He instead throws it directly at two Arsenal players, initiating a counter attack where several of our players are waiting in attacking positions. It is very poor play that will lead to danger in any period of the game. It is a shame, I thought he was very good otherwise.
