Good result. Average performance. A moment of brilliance won the game. West Brom were starting to take control of the match until Sissoko's bulala. I would however, like to see Yanga-Mbiwa and possibly Ben Arfa return to the team (the former is of more importance, imo). Neither of the centrebacks impressed me at all, and our attacking play was very stale throughout most of the match.

The perfect strike. Pace, curve, everything.

I would like to see a still photo of the buildup to that goal. The positioning is terrible. Santon is standing with his hand up. Colo is on the left flank for no reason. Williamson and Debuchy are occupying the same space. Terrible.

NUFC have been underwhelming, but WBA have not offered too much going forward. I'm not impressed, but the result is good thus far.

Yanga-Mbiwa needs to be prioritised over Coloccini at this point and has done very well of late. Coloccini has also been abused by west Brom more than once. Very strange decision. I wonder if MYM has a slight injury?

How many times does Shola fall on his arse and lose the ball in positions that many strikers may have made useful? I think some of the talk surrounding Cisse, Shola, and Ben Arfa and the last three results has confused correlation with causation.

I remember this day vividly. It was back when I was staying in London, and my "uncle" showed me the news right after the church service that morning. Even today, it is still a shocking story. It is odd to see the people you idolised during youth and adolescence be torn apart from within by their own demons. This is especially true, when they are as outwardly successful as Speed. I am happy that there has been no contrived "explanation" by the media or needless exposing of whatever negative stories the poisonous media can find or invent. The man and his family deserve better.

MLS is a difficult league. The weather conditions can be quite harsh, the variation in quality between teammates an be staggering at times (making team play difficult), the style of play is very physical/rushed, and the referees are generally poor.

I wonder if more places will put some sort of padded landing beneath areas like this. If the drop is genuinely 10 metres as has been stated some places, he may have still died from internal injuries and organs being crushed, but the hard material will have caused the head trauma.

The photo looks very much like a death.

didn't see it brett, just going off the radio and chelp on here that we basically followed our usual pattern in the 2nd half, conceded and it was nervy to the end - i know you reckon it wasn't but plenty reckon it was, which drug do you trust? chelsea were very, very wasteful on the break first half as i've said before - they didn't create much in the end, but a team of their class would normally make more of the positions they found themselves in The Norwich match was nervy because we essentially stopped playing and they had the ball in and around the NUFC box for long periods in the last 30 minutes. Brett is right, though. They created very little. This was more to do with Norwich being a terrible football team, but it has to say we were lucky not to concede twice is very harsh given what the other team created.

Sobering. Been called a lot of s***, but Felipao? I get the message. f*** did that come from? the guy who thinks Africa will win the world cup every year. At least me an unbelievable (or whatever the dutch guys name is) have some sort of reason to be biased towards players from our national team. I shrine players that perform. The day I come on here shrining Anichebe or Kayode Odejayi, compare me to the American and yourself. Fwiw, Enyeamagnet is still the best keeper in Europe this season.

He made one mistake, when he gave the ball away unnecessarily, and cost the team a chance, but I thought he was one of the better players beside this. The best in our back-line, imo. A good outlet going forward as well.

Mike and Felipao are are the same person in terms of discussing players from their own nation.

Why are all of the players 25 and under? Did they think that all of the older players would just disappear?

Last two January transfer windows: In: Cisse Debuchy Yanga-Mbiwa Gouffran Haidara Sissoko Out: BA

That second sentence is nonsense, but I don't remember Krul being tested other than the goal. They put most of their chances wide or managed not to test the target at all. edit: In reference to Brett

wouldn't be his fault though, of course. Redknapp was blaming the lack of big front man, ignoring Sam spending £15m on a crock and buying Downing when he clearly need a front man because of said crock. 100% Fat Sam's fault. Utter bellend of a manager and hope the c*** gets them relegated. He did have a 6 foot 3 international front man on his bench, but decided to start with a fat, immobile midfielder instead.

Spot on. We're operating below our capacity merely because of him and his f***ing have what we hold attitude against sides worse than us. Below our capacity. We'll be at most three points off the top four by the end of the weekend. People just like to complain about him. We just like to complain about a manager who has two CMs that start games for France yet we can't control games at home to Norwich and Hull? Wow. I thought the squad wasn't good enough, Sissoko was overrated, and the transfer policy had produced a team full of pieces that didn't fit. This is what was being said in September. What has changed? I don't know, derby game aside, I've been quite impressed with our play in general since the start of October. NUFC have come out from the start and been the better team in just about every match during this period. I'd agree that we have had a problem with tiring, sitting back, and pressing at a lesser rate in the second halves of several matches, but these haven't been false results at all, imo. I'd understand if it the team had stolen one goal and spent the whole match holding on, but Norwich barely threatened until the last ten minutes.

Germany finished in November.

Newcastle average. Norwich atrocious. League table fantastic.

http://www.footballgroundmap.com/olumide It's better than it looks. All the stadia in London and DC/Baltimore ended up as 2 dots. It's a shame that the stadiums in Ibadan and Lagos couldn't make the site.

Not to spread horrible ideas, but the guy is eligible to become president in 7 years or so. He might ride the wave of public support to the office after his unforgettable performance at the World Cup.

Do the players in your team play for clubs that play in a "typical Premier league" style? The league in general, but especially the top clubs, have become more similar to their continental brethren since 2000.
