Brown Ideye just merk'd Nolan with a scoopy 180 megsy turn thing.

That was lush

Dummet's positioning is awful, if he improves that then he can become a decent CB at best otherwise he will just be average

Messi let's Neymar take the pen, which is then saved

Villareal equalise, poor from Ter Stegen

Deserved to go a long time ago, was awful

Shit lineup, something Pardew would pick

wtf is wrong with Abeid?

BT Sport camera lost the plot for a moment

 

 

In the last world cup they had the easiest group taking into account a weak Spain, then iirc they lost to the first decent side they played in the knockouts.

That's just nonsense

 

 

Calling Spain weak for a starters and also Argentina were not the first decent side they faced in the knockouts

 

Spain lost every game except for a win against Australia.

Aye they did s*** BUT it's only hindsight that results in calling them weak, prior to that they were one of the favourites

 

:lol:

 

So the results don't count then, no point turning up to the next world cup

Aye, that's exactly what I said [emoji19]

They had mexico and costa rica in the knockouts. 

Care to remind us how Costa Rica got to that stage?

How does this compare to the current deal?

£3.018 billion for the current deal so a massive increase

Ashley will be wanking himself silly right now

126 games for Sky, the rest for BT

£5.136 Billion

I think BT will end up with more matches, which will be huge for them to go along with the Champions League

As long as it remains with just 2 broadcasters I'll be happy, spreading it amongst 3 will be worse for us

Premier League to announce live TV rights deal at 5pm this afternoon.

Google and Al Jazeera.

I know it's unlikely, but I hope Sky have been outbid, and even better if it was someone like Google that beat them. Games streamed live on YouTube

Streaming games is not really ideal since there is still a lot of people with rubbish Internet speeds

25.6 in the Premiership. 275 minutes over 5 games.

 

So workd out something like 42 passes every 90 minutes if my maths isn't completely horrible.

So less than Anita? Interesting

I rate Abeid and he would be my first choice BUT would those that point to Anita's low number of passes as evidence of him hiding say Abeid hides in matches?

He played for over an hour on Sunday. He attempted 18 passes. 15 successfully. N'Zonzi attempted 57! Whelan 61! Colback 39.

 

In every match I've looked at, he always ranks as one of the lowest in attempted passes. Doesn't show for the ball so often. Rarely looks for space.

 

Colback is guilty of this too. Teams are happy for him to have the ball but Tiote always goes and gets it. He's the only one of the deeper midfielders to do that. It's annoying. If things aren't working for us Tiote will attempt to drive the team forward. The midgets never bother.

What is Abeid's Average Pass Per Game?

Obviously it's a smaller sample size since he has not played much BUT interested to see how it compares to Anita, Colback, Tiote etc

Let's just forget we don't play a "front three", so we can pretend Anita doesn't fit in, eh? He's better than Colback and Tiote. The lad saying De Jong will ideally play there...what planet are they on? De Jong is not a central midfielder. De Jong is a number 10 who got played up front in Holland because it's an easier league.

 

So many delusions of grandeur. A front three...HA HA we are the most negative team in the league. We only play on the counter because we're negative in possession...players like Anita let you hold on to the ball and he doesn't hide like Colback the coward.

 

The only real problem people seem to have with Anita is he's not 'big enough' for the prem. Surely it's time we got away from these big cloggers who chop people down like Tiote and played people based on their footballing ability? He done well until he got hooked, for Cisse who did zero. No surpise the midfield got over-ran.

 

For me, it's Anita OR Colback and I'd pick Vurn every time. Vurn and Abeid central midfield pair. Sissoko is too undisciplined to play there and he's off soon anyway. De Jong will take his number 10 role and we'll go back to one up front, with Gouffran and Ameobi on the wings. Proper big lads.

Shameless. Do you reckon he sees the double standards?

I reckon he does BUT like most things he just ignores them because he loves to act the prick

That's going to boost our profits even more, yay

Messi

Equaliser from Rafinha

Barca defending is shocking
