We were awful in the first half. So slow just like every other England team. The second half was a huge improvement. Henderson was better at RB than in midfield. I think he was involved in all the goals. I thought Sterling played well, too. He has the quality to cause chaos and stretch defenses. Rooney really needs to work on his finishing. He should have had at least two today. I wasn't pleased when I saw Wilshere's name in the team sheet but I was dead wrong. Two incredible goals. The second being the best goal I've seen in God knows how long. Maybe that Joe Cole goal against Sweeden was the last good one I saw. Great performance from him. He really needs to stay fit this season. Walcott, too. He's someone I feel has the a strong belief in his own ability and can score when it matters.

Liked how excited he got about Solano. Excellent finish for that equalizer.

Mascherano is world class, mate.

Xavi is Chameleon Eyes, Ronaldo is the Dark Invader. He's got a lot more. Can't think of them right now but they're hilarious.

Some "highlites" from his last three years with Boro 2003-2004 League cup Beat Man Utd at Old Trafford 3-2 2004-2005 Seventh place uefa Cup round of 16. 2005-2006 uefa Cup final FA cup semis League Cup QF Beat Man Utd 4-1 Beat Arsenal 2-1 beat Chelsea 3-0

Abeid and Aarons too in their brief appearances. I'd argue that Cabella was better than him too, and Anita showed more promise in his last two games of the seasons than Colback has ever done. My word. Are you blind?

How many of our players are average or below average? How come he gets so much hate? Considering he's played under Sunderland coaches and Pardew/carver, lets see how he does under a "proper coach". Everyone else seems to get that treatment.

He wouldn't get in the team ahead of Kieran Westwood? You think a manager wouldn't want a player who scored four goals and registered six assists through out the season? Look at the teams above us. liverpool - Joe Allan, Lucas Everton - James McCarthy, Gareth Barry West Brom - Yakob, Fletcher, Gardner crystal Palace - Jedinak, McCarthur Etc. He contributed a lot more than most of these players. Like someone said, he did a lot more than Cabella and De Jong this season and gets 10 times the hate. It's cause he played for Sunderland. That has to be the only reason. Cabella cost 12 million, scored once and got two assists yet I never see his thread bumped to say how much you hate him.

I mean by his peers and people in football. It's not like any other teams besides the ones in theChampionship were looking to sign him as manager. Its only us. Anyway I just hope he's motivated to prove people wrong.

Of course he will. I think he'd be a started for almost every team in the league except for the top four.

Yup. This is my understanding. He was laughed at as England manager and Indon't think anyone takes the Dutch title seriously. He's coming in with a chip on his shoulder. He's got a point to prove.

Mate, this guy lost eight in a row and nearly got us relegated.

What a great way to start off the morning. I hope to never hear his voice ever again.

Crazy that Messi and Mascherano just played the maximum games in the World Cup, then the maximum amount of games for Barcelona and now have to fly off for this. A few other players also. I'm hoping for an Argentina - Brazil final.

That ending. Class skills, though.

Agree. I feel like it could be similar to both James Beattie and Andy Johnson's moves to Everton.

Karls a Manc, too, no?

The kid's a leader. His actions after the match were a class act.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32915920 How well do you know England's lesser known strikers. 6/10 I'm Heskey.

What an absolute waste.

The last time I saw him for Holland was against Spain a few months ago and he looked great. Probably one of the best players that day.

Really cool advert. Well Jealous of Swansea.

I was devastated when Milner left. Even more so because of all the "12 million. Villa are stupid" posts. He was only 21-23 while playing for us but many had already wrote him off.

Agree with Oldtype and Lenny. It's either get behind this version of Newcastle or fuck off because it's not gonna get any better. Terrible attitude to have? Yeah, but what I can do?

And then what? Be angry?
