On the one half yes, on the other hand it's just a friendly I'm only guessing, but I would imagine that for most clubs, pre-season aims are along the lines of (in no particular order): 1. Improve core fitness. 2. Gain confidence. 3. Work on new ideas. 4. Integrate new players. 5. Avoid injuries. Which of the five are we doing so far? precisely. Thanks Dave.

On the one half yes, on the other hand it's just a friendly That's pretty much my point.

I'm not finding it that funny. Our unprofessionalism has infected our team now. We're dying.

Colo nearly killed him. This is embarrassing.

Carver, Woodman, Kinnear etc etc all as bad as each other.

Sammy just as stupid as fatter, older Ameobi

How can a professional footballer have that bad a touch

This is bad. Not even an attempt at righting any wrongs from last season. Smaller squad, same shit manager and terrible football.

On a positive note - it looks like a lovely night to play football there.

Tiote on a final warning

Sissoko can't play right mid, I'm sorry. Was at least 3 yards offside there.

It's also worth noting that Elliot is absolutely terrible.

I know it's a friendly - but I can't see it getting much better for the full season no fluency in the slightest. Losing loads isn't a great way to enter the season, friendlies or otherwise.

1-0

Pardew's got the notepad out. We've got this.

Cabaye charging around like a bull so far

Moussa simply does not look comfortable on the right.

Nice by Sissoko and Ben Arfa. Ameobi nearly knocking them over while wandering offside.

Taylor

Debuchy is furthest up the pitch at all times. Not sure where Ameobi is.

Sissoko right is an odd choice.

Inexplicable HD feed

very twee. Why the R though?

If his surname was anything else he wouldn't even fucking be here.
