Yep, was gonna say this. Abeid always looked to have potential but Bigi came in and looked like one hell of a better player.

We took a punt, it didn't work out, move him on in that case.

Ah man this will blatantly be entertaining.

Poyet would be a massive step up on Pardew purely based upon how his Brighton side managed to outfight, outpace and hustle past us twice.

When did Buffon get his hands transplanted and replaced with a pair of crisp packets?

Right call by the ref like.

The frig happened there?

Brazil are doing really well here but they could do with a tackle on the pitch.

Wonderful goal.

How is it an 'unusual' Italian goal, Lawro? They fucking battered it long against Japan for 90 minutes.

Fantastic from Balotelli. Reminds me of Sibierski's flick for Dyer against AZ at home, that was just as good. Anyone else?

I absolutely fucking despise Danny Mills. Fuck off and sit next to Clem on that shitty show you do.

Now Balotelli!

this is like the fucking Alamo.

Lawro saying 'The Hulk' is starting to grate on me. Wish he'd grate his fucking tongue on something sharp.

Italy/Japan double. Small single on Italy Balotelli FGS

I had the exact same bet (although £1.25 ew) before you posted this. My Lucky 15 was atrocious, need it to come in.

Lucky 15 (ew): 2.30 Autumn Lily 3.05 Sir John Hawkwood 3.45 Slade Power 4.25 Rex Imperator http://cdn.meme.li/instances/250x250/37203363.jpg

Garswood and Gale Force Ten reverse forecast in the 2.30.

if that comes true then I swear to god I'm done.

The silence coming from Pardew at the moment is absolutely deafening IMO.

Best time to have an away trip to one of the big boys is on the opening day, especially with their new manager.
