Generally agree with Ronaldo's comment. I somehow feel disconnected with the club but it's nice to see the likes of Janmaat and Ayoze do well. I'm sort of clinging on to the hope that the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool will approach Pardew with a job.

Interesting.

The most uneventful 45 mins of football I've ever seen. Please take Gouffran off.

Is this football?

Nah, that post is just really grim, and a really weird attitude to take. Essentially well if have sex a lot you're bound to have something bad happen. That's total nonsense. Also the "young women don't take responsibility for their actions". Based on what? The same way young men don't I imagine. Anyway It's a depressing viewpoint and you've identified yourself as a chauvinist so that's your opinion.I just don't happen to agree with it, and find it pretty grim. But I don't wanna debate it tbh. f***ing hell man, that's really grim that. Think you might have been misinterpreting me. Rape is a very serious crime and should be treated as such. My problem lies with the semi-consentual intercource which the girl decides wasnt really consentual at all the day after and files for rape.

Shag around like a tramp and sooner or later you will get a negative experience. Does that excuse the man in any way? No, but if you get obscenely drunk and end up in hotel rooms time and time again to a certain extent you have yourself to thank as well, sorry thats just how I see it. You gotta face the reality of how the world works, even though in a perfect world a drunk woman should be left alone naked in a bed every single time. Agree to disagree Reading that was absolutely disgusting. I feel sick.

Exactly my point. Sums up the whole thing on my part.

Jobs where he would be considered a risk are closed off to him, unless we think he's going to rape a teammate I don't think it applies. That's not my point though. I'm not suggesting he poses a risk to his immediate surroundings or the persons he works with. For me it's a matter of principle. A convicted sex offender shouldn't, by way of his footballing talents, be granted a status as a role model. Which he undoubtedly will be whether we like it or not.

No. Being a professional footballer accounts for lot more than just holding a job at playing football. That's my opinion at least but I do respect that other people look at it in different terms. Indeed it wont help society nor offenders to ostracize or isolate people like Evans, but when you've committed a crime such as this some avenues of life and society should remain closed.

Taylor

Who's our number nine?

So diving now equals jumping out of tackles? I thought diving meant simulating a fall after a tackle that never took place? Diving and avoiding contact isn't the same no matter how you try to twist it to suit your argument.

Absolutely can't believe people are condoning and defending diving. Football really is fucked.

He replaced it with a hi-hat.

Get in Jonas! Great news!

Highlight of the match was Janmaat absolutely clattering Balotelli. Hope Balo will be a miserable failure at Liverpool.

Can't remember being this excited by our youth department as I am right now.

He also kind of stopped a civil war once. Canny.

Agree. Also wonderful to see Pogba and Yaya play. Love a physical central midfielder capable of anything.

I like strikers in the mould of Berbatov, Bergkamp, Guðjohnsen and especially Ibrahimovic who is probably my all time favourite. Look a bit lazy as someone mentioned but have a sublime first touch and vision but also capable of scoring goals in all colours. Also quite like almost senselessly direct wingers who just run at it taking no prisoners, players like Raheem Sterling and to an extent Ben Arfa.

Warmachine yesterday. He also seemed more aware of when to release the ball when he's surging forward i.e when he passed the ball to Cabella in the second goal. Too often he wins the ball in our half, makes a run forward and loses the ball leaving us exposed. He has to realize that he doesn't have much end product and he has to leave the shooting and crossing to players like Cabella. Very important that he has a well defined role within the team and doesn't try stuff he's barely capable of. Same applies to Tiote.

Especially when it it Jose Enrique for Liverpool. What a day.

Why am I wasting my time on this? Did we muster a shot on goal? This is turgid.

Anita and Colback vs. Cambiasso.

Interesting how Douglas sees Georgia as a Balkan nation.
