Colback on the right? Aye

Was YNWA even sung at the end? Half the kop was already empty Didn't think so

What happens to my All Out Attack chip if automatic substitutions change my formation? The chip is still played. If you use your All Out Attack chip to select a 2-5-3 formation and a midfielder or forward doesn't play then the bonus is lost, the chip isn't returned. Right so Bellerin would still come in at least. Cheers Dave. Incidentally how did you come to learn everything about everything?

superbly put, as ever.

Wait what? i've played my all-out-attack boost this week, but now Ozil won't be playing it seems. What happens in this case? Does my first sub come on? Do I lose the boost anyway or does it not count?

I rate him too, but can't help thinking rating a striker who needs to be "more clinical with his finishing", is a bit like rating a surgeon (great bedside manner, and clearly knows his stuff, advises the rest of the team wonderfully!) who needs to be a bit more accurate with his cutting. Not really. Football isn't a matter of life and death.. Aye, I agree. To be a great striker you need to be scoring goals, that is your main job after all. Think he's doing fantastically well as a target man for now though. We aren't playing to his goalscoring strengths with our narrow play like, but ultimately he should be doing better with the chances he's had. I set it up for Altamullan to finish off the quote since he loves his retro rhymes

He's done brilliantly since coming in for Krul there's no doubt about that. He also seems to really care and seems a bit of a leader in the team which is great to see. Those that are at the matches, is he loud on the pitch? Does he organize his defenders better than Krul does?

We have become so small-time, pards made it sound like it was such a major coup that we brought jack fucking colback HOME. on a FREE.

al pards is mint. what do fans expect? 8th or 9th is about right for nufc. ben arfa is scum. or something similar. Ah, so basically he was a fat Pardew? Exactly. KI or TheGuv or some other hipster bumped into him and had a chat with him. No idea how they managed to understand what he's said with pards' cock down his throat anarl.

TBH no. I don't hate him because he's crap. I hate him because he's crap and a shoe-in to start every match possible for us until he retires OR Ashley sells the club and we get a manager with the balls to drop him. For what it's worth, I still have a feeling that as soon as Saivet is up to speed, he'll replace Colback in the line-up.

Am I the only one seeing McClaren's face in Jonjo's elbow tattoo?

The way he's able to snatch the ball out of the sky and shield it with about 5 defenders around him is magnificent.

I have a spider living on my veranda that can probably shoot better than Mitro at the moment. Excellent game despite the obvious lack of confidence in front of goal. The penalty he scored last game was immense and vital to his development IMO. Will only get better and better.

Finally starting to really impose himself on games for 90 minutes. Superb player. How we managed to get him in before anyone else I'll never know. In the replays for his goal you can see he reads the situation perfectly (as the ball is still making its way to Janmaat) and starts to make his run. Our goal of the season for me so far.

Hope he gets raped by teeth girl

Come on guys I mean OBVIOUSLY he means he'll bring in Adebayor to Palace and put him on the bench. Play him for the last 4 or 5 games of the season, and that'll teach him. Boom. Genius. England manager.

Hope he sees this thread.

Guessing that high horse you're sitting on doesn't allow for jokes Nope. What you gonna do? Punch my horse?

IP man :lol: :lol:

If you believe it wasn't deliberate, then you believe it's not a penalty. By definition. Oh yes by the current rules. I just meant that if they adjusted it the way I've explained, it would eliminate a lot of the guessing and controversy.

This handball/pen issue is so convoluted and confusing. In my mind, anytime the ball touches a hand/arm in the penalty area which changes the direction of the ball, it should be a penalty. Deliberate or not. This is the reason it shouldn't be a penalty if a ball strikes an arm that is in front of the head/chest/down by the leg, as long as the ball's direction doesn't change had the arm not been there. In this case, I don't believe Mbemba deliberately handballed it, but his outstretched arm changed the direction of the ball, and should therefore be a penalty.

Some truly abhorrent posts in this thread of late. I hate this c*** and wish him nothing but personal failure and professional misery. Killing his family ffs
