53 before bonus. Bolasie to come off the bench (due to no Clichy, Wisdom or Sterling) was totally unexpected as I'd totally forgotten about him.

Also, al pards is still a classless self-aggrandizing cunt. I wish nothing but relegation on him and his club.

I could disregard the rubbish selections and the outdated tactics and the fear of not losing mentality, if we would cut out the blatant coaching mistakes from our game for fuck's sake. How many times does Krul have to take a FK on the half way line only to have it come straight back at us with him out of position (and a CB upfield) for us to learn to stop that? Why the FUCK lose the ball straight from kickoff because we try some fancy dan shit? Incidentally that misplaced pass by Cabella straight from kickoff that Haidara couldn't keep in, was the most intent we showed to attack in the entire second half. Dummett at LW? Seriously Carver you fucking cunt? And this prick wants us to take him seriously? What in holy fuck's name were Ayoze and Gouffran doing standing side by side in the center circle ffs?? Don't even get me started.

You don't have a problem with our manager being scared to show any emotion because his side was beating his mate? It wasn't control, or respect. He was genuinely embarrassed that he'd taken the lead. I think it was more he didn't want to upset his gaffer Pardew. Fair enough TBH, I didn't even think of that. I thought he just didn't want to make out like it was a bigger deal than normal because we'd scored against Pardew. Like not give him the satisfaction etc. Not that it matters anyway, everything is s***. He's manager of Newcastle United FC whose supporters have travelled down half the length of the country to watch their team play. There's no two ways about where his allegiance should lie. The fucking cunt should have been as happy with the goal as he should be if it were against any other side in the world. Pardew and that shite little London cornershop club are irrelevant and can fuck off.

Pretty obvious isn't it? The betting man. People the world over are watching matches for free, not paying a penny in subscriptions. It's the gambling that's keeping it all going the way it is. And it's going to get worse. Are there many countries where subscription to watch PL football is free? I meant watching the games at pubs, and watching online. Pubs still probably pay a larger fee for subscription unless they only have one tv right? As for watching online it's illegal so I think with this amount of fee they might come harder on illegal streaming. We'll see. It's a crazy fee, but at the same time it's supply and demand. The attraction of PL has really grown a lot in South and Central America over the past few years and even in the US I imagine more people watch it than ever. Doubt betting has that big of an impact on the fee tbh. Obviously you might be right, but I think with national channels all over the world willing to pay for the rights to show them in their own countries I'm not sure the fee is impossible to turn-over based on selling parts of its rights. Anyways, CRAZY MONEY nonetheless I reckon there's a lot of money on the gambling side of things. Not sure how SkyBet is doing, but it's the only thing I can think of that makes business sense. I also wouldn't be surprised if big broadcasters own gambling sites. There are a myriad of ways to by-pass crackdowns on illegal streaming. No matter how hard they try to prevent illegal streams and broadcasts, technology today will find a way. Either way, football is well and truly fucked, the PL in particular. The major cash cow bubble will burst somehow. It is simply unsustainable.

ish cray ind

Don't know what some are watching but I totally agree here mojo.

You haven't seen vilification in this online dump yet Can you please explain what you mean by this? Seriously who's that guy?

What's up with these drama queens? They couldn't be arsed for 120 minutes and now they care? Also, congrats Cheik Tiote

Harsh on Ghana who were the better side tonight. Having said that, I'm delighted the most pointless and drab manager of all time will not be lifting a major trophy.

Such a prick and he wins it

Gervinho sat with his feet up looking the other way

Barry injured

:lol:

:lol: Pitiful

Bony is seriously such a wanker. Never realized how unlikeable he is until now.

Ghana will win it IMO. Look a lot more up for it.

Apart from one or two players, CIV really don't look bothered about the game.

Bony has been a pedestrian. Seems so full of himself and a right prick.

This X 10000000000000000000

You could clearly hear him shouting constantly "put it in the mix. put it in the mix". Fucking amateur hour.

A fucking emabbarssment. What the fuck was Carver doing taking off Cabella ffs. Obertan
