Happy it's not Monday. Kind of like Sunday start - gives a day to properly enjoy the new season.

He also got that information from the Dutch site. He knows no more than you and me.

That's ripe for a caption contest.

FYP

We're 30 minutes and possible pens away from the reality of Alan Pardew. Enjoy it everyone.

I know most of you are tired of the concussion debate so I'll leave it be, but have you ever seen so many head injuries in this sport? Feel like you see 1 or 2 in an entire PL season. There have been 4-5 nasty ones in the last few weeks.

That's a shocking decision.

Laughing about Hayden Mullins. Shame no Pardew reference.

Outstanding. More of that please.

Higuain would have bottled it anyway.

Kramer's soft for coming off. Nothing could happen long term.

This. Was brilliant.

Germany 2, Argentina 0 (Would like ARG to win behind a Messi hat trick though.)

Happy with the incomings so far and actually optimistic there will be a couple more (though probably 1-2 shy of what we should have as per). However, as long as Pardew continues to cast his depressing shadow over this place with things like MYM possibly being sold for no good reason then I'll forever be underwhelmed/annoyed.

This makes me so fucking angry.

Finally we can stop debating about the pursuit. Confirmed that it's justified by the pursuit.

Way too many refs in this tournament haven't had the backbone to make a big decision.

Would be quite pleased with him based solely on tonight's evidence.

Part of me agrees, but signing these quality players almost makes it more depressing that we're managed by him. He won't get the most out of them or set us up properly when we could actually be decent.

He's coming on right now for Martins Indi.

Next time you bang your head so hard you stumble and collapse, why don't you try running three miles as fast as you can and then go to sleep. See how that works out for you. It happens all the time in football and has always happened. As far as I know nowt has ever come of it. Sorry, but this is an incredibly ignorant and archaic attitude.

Absolutely ridiculous that Mascherano is out there. So careless. Unfortunately it's the only thing worth talking about from that half.

Costa Rica took fantastic pens against Greece and Krul has never impressed me on them. Think they might do it.
