Was our fanbase ever so bothered about 'graft' before 'that group of lads'? I remember people would get pissed at Robert for not tracking back and stuff, but it just seems so much more prevalent now for our lot to back supposed grafters and make heroes out of the likes Ryan Taylor and Joey Barton.

Yeah, that's fucking terrible.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This was a bit different IMO, we had them on the ropes for 45 minutes and played some canny stuff. Aye it's still clearly nowt to shout about in reality but was nice to see. Most games are a non-event if they're not an absolute humiliation and it's been that way for years. First time I've felt really animated by one of our games for a while, good to see us keeping up pressure for a sustained period of time.

His fall will come soon. And it will be delicious.

We all know it's irrelevant, it's just nice to enjoy some football. That's how low we've sunk. Cabella and Perez are lovely to watch. Particularly pleased for the former, Ando and Lowes were slating him before the game saying he's only had one good half all season and he cost £12m. I know it was undisclosed but wasn't the reported fee €10m?

I hope Cabella plays #10. -
His time in France showed his biggest weakness, imo. His win percentage with PSG was much lower than it is with Real, despite the team he was managing being head and shoulders above the competition. Ligue 1 is more defensive and he struggled to break sides down. Although, he should've walked it considering it's a 'Mickey Mouse League'.

Newcastle United 0 - 1 Man United - post-match reaction from page 24

I'm not sure if it's just me but the players have seemingly got less and less confident on the ball under Carver. There were a number of occasions yesterday when players just weren't interested in showing for the ball. -

Sissoko was fine when allowed to go forward. Carver's ludicrous tactics meant most players were invisible for large periods. -
He struggled but a lot of that could be attributed to our horrific set up. He'd get the ball and want to start a move, only to be left without any real options. His instinct isn't to hoof it. He has potential, he played a couple of meaningful passes and shows good positional awareness, a bit raw in the tackle though.

Carver is so fucking dumb, man. He's even worse than Pardew for soaking up pressure. Loads of occasions where players had little options on the ball so it got punted away etc. Played like a lower league away team. Dreadful. -
Foster really isn't the type of lad to get involved in any of that kind of stuff. He is, however, shit.

How snidey did Poyet look when going up to Bruce

What fucking horrific comments they are.

Diegol.

Reus is an absolutely brilliant player. One of my favourite to watch.

Rakitic?

Barca working the extra man in midfield to perfection.
-
Messi, man. The bloke's disgusting.

City are playing 4-4-2 but without a genuine wide midfielder? Odd. You'd think, with Dzeko and Aguero, they have the aerial advantage. Should be looking to exploit the wings and early crosses.
