Tavernier is much, much more comfortable on the ball than Simpson or Williamson.

Class touch Sammy.

Half-time thoughts Elliot - nowt to do Simpson - fine Tavernier - composed and impressive Colo - class as ever R.Taylor - fine, set pieces shit Marv - quiet Gosling - good Tiote - immense Obertan - usual wank self Vuckic - poor Ba - quiet

Obertan with a great pass off Tiote's heel and to Fener there.

Decent effort from Gosling.

What the hell did Vuckic pass there for?!

The way he said TAYLOR! there after that comfortable cross

I think Obertan has touched the ball once, and that was after 45 seconds.

Class tackle Tiote.

Tavernier has composure well beyond his years.

This has actually been decent as a spectacle so far.

Can't we put Lee in a Galatasaray shirt and let him loose in the crowd of Fenerbahce Ultras?

Nigel De Jong? Aye, him too actually. Knew I'd missed someone.

Can sort of understand it, there's a very very small pool of players I would genuinely be happy to see get a serious injury - Lee Cattermole, Karl Henry and Jonas Olsson.

will record that and watch it tonight after the match. At a guess, from us we'll probably get to see Over the Wall, Man U 3-0, maybe the Chelsea 0-2 and a few games where we get beat, off Man City and Spurs, along with the odd other one. Passing mention.

Has anyone considered that Ba might play in the sort of highly advanced midfield role that Cabaye played against Stoke?

If Bright can fit 'Books from Boxes' into his commentary without it sounding out of place then that would be good

I'd like to think Mark Bright saying 'apply some pressure' there twice was a clever reference to the fact Maximo Park are from Boro. Or, more likely, the silly cunt has no idea whatsoever about anything at all.

Our negotation tactics can be seen here:

I'm only going to worry if we've made no more headway and we're at the Spurs game. What's the point in buying players that aren't good enough, or limiting the number of players we can get by paying high wages or transfer fees? We need to take our time.

Talk about the England squad please.

We could offer to loan Lille Graham Carr for a week as part of the Debuchy deal, to help them find their replacement.
