Lol Mason, what is wrong with you

Oh dear Colo, what was that

Pen to them

Good run from Jonas

We are such a crap team, nothing exciting about us apart from when Ben Arfa gets the ball

This is going to be a painful season

How was that a foul?

Jonas doing nowt as usual

 

It's ten mins in and he's made some half decent passes. He's crap, but you're seeing what you want tbh.

He walked into their defender and lost possession, standard Jonas play

How "close" were you to sign PEA? Did you actually table an offer?

 

According to St Etienne we did but the player wanted Dortmund, once Dortmund wanted him we never had a hope really.

 

Probably was so after he went on that goalscoring run 2nd half of last season.

Unlucky St Ettienne got to the cup final otherwise think we could have got him in Jan

Lovely team goal from Sevilla, 2-0

That goal still gives me a hard on.

 

The amount of idiots who claimed at the time that "its not that good, he only runs in a straight line"   Completely missing the balance required, the split second change of pace to get away from the second tackle and the little chip while running flat out at the end to leave the last defender tackling thin air.

It was mainly Mackems that downplayed the goal

It was quality

1) The initial turn to leave the defender on his backside

2) Brushes off Davies attempt to chop him down with a little funny run

3) The perfect and subtle little dink which left the defender kicking air

4) The finish

Big fan of Anita, think under a proper manager he would excel in this league

It's criminal when someone like Jonas gets picked ahead of him

What's the Notting Hill Carnival excuse all about?

We should forget about this and move onto the next person on the hit list

How hard can it be to say Cisse instead of Sissy? I mean, a couple of minutes research would correct this entire problem, if he gave a s***.

About 20 seconds later he actually says his name properly

But where do you place Pardew? Your credibility hinges on this.

Damn, the pressure

Hovering between shite and decent

I think McCarthy is decent enough at what he does, but that article said Wigan were looking for £20m. For that sort of money, you'd want a player with a better touch on the ball than McCarthy has got IMO. His passing looks quite conservative as well.

 

I'd prefer him to Tiote though.

I think McCarthy has a fantastic touch and his passing is one of his strong points, admittedly not as good as Cabaye's passing BUT he can pass players which is something Cabaye struggles with

A good player who would be a top signing

Just watching the McCarthy youtube videos, he doesn't look like much of an improvement on Tiote to me.

McCarthy is a different player to Tiote, a CM rather than a DM

I think Cleverley is a good player who is going to get better

 

I don't think the Sir Bobby Robson statue is very good, doesn't look like him

 

I liked Scott Parker, thought he was a good player for us and it was a mistake selling him

Glenn Roeder was a decent manager for us overall

Just to add some depth to that point, the scale goes like this, with some examples

Proper Shite - Dalglish, Allardyce, Souness

Shite - Gullit

Decent - Roeder

Good - Hughton

Very Good -

Great - Keegan, SBR

David James saying Spanish football is a spent force

I don't like DMs. I hate them, in fact.

Unfortunately the guy that picks the team does not, even when they are not good

Ben Arfa  Cabaye  Sissoko

 

    Gomis  Cisse  Remy

 

 

 

Christ that looks awesome.

It does BUT there isn't enough tackle in there

Good to see Campbell getting 4 mins

Going to be a wasted season for him

This is becoming all too predictable

We will piss around for ages trying to sign him, fail to do so and then find we have no "time" to sign anyone else
