Demba well gutted, at the end you could tell he was devastated that he missed the pen. No wonder the pen was poor, he changed his mind at the last moment

Still, hope he does not let it get to him, the guy is still immense

Why exactly was Tiote lucky to be on the field?

apparently we edged the 2nd half - :mackems:

They edged the 2nd half.

urgh dull, horrible weather

still, HOWAY THE LADS, lets smash them up

Shocked with this news, after the recent comments and the various stories in the press I thought this would drag on for a long time BUT to wake up to this news was awesome

Great news, comparable to signing Cisse, maybe better. Was concerned with Spurs sniffing around BUT fortunately we have tied him down

I know some people are cynical (and rightly so to some extent) and will say it is so we can get more money for him BUT I just can't see us selling him (obviously a Carroll-like bid would change things)

HBA starts on thr right or nowhere. You dont drop the front two, its what the Mackems will be fearing the most.

 

 

 

Why not the left?

I guess because he can't offer Santon the defensive support that Jonas does

Though considering they will have Larsson on the right I think we could play Ben Arfa wide left BUT it is not gonna happen

Just saw the Hulk goal, wow

I would like to think if the roles were reversed (thank god they are not) we would act with some humility after repeatedly losing over the years BUT instead they are ridiculously arrogant and brash

I can only assume it is some sort of defence mechanism as they refuse to admit the obvious to themselves which is why they resort to bullshit like them being a classy club

Townsend initially giving Young credit for staying on his feet BUT then does not condemn him when the replays show he is a diving b******

Young is probably the worst when it comes to diving

Demba Ba ‏ @dembabafoot

@Jack96Gilbo achilles mate. My achilles. By the way i still feel it

So the knee is fine for now, was bricking it when he went down. Hopefully his achilles does not flare up

The Bridges really is a shit hole

That was dirty by Gerrard BUT nowt as always will happen

I'd rather play Raylor at right back.

BUT he is busy keeping Ben Arfa out of right midfield

I don't think he's very good at the Steven Taylor role he's playing. In fact, as bizzare as it may sound, he's probably better suited to the defensive role Coloccini plays because his lack of strength and aggression isn't as exposed.

Yes, that is very bizarre. Williamson is the complete opposite of Coloccini when it comes to having the ball at his feet so fail to see how we would be better suited to that role

Williamson is an average and limited defender

Please, please, please, please be true

I hope he does reject it BUT he is an idiot, he is punching far above his weight by playing for us and hopefully if he rejects the offer he will realise that

I would rather recall Tavernier and give him a go at right back, can't be worse than Simpson

He was awful, gave the ball away more times than he has managed all season

No surprises

I just hope Ben Arfa comes on ahead of Obertan/Shola

wth, Napoli fans have been in the stadium since half 3 according to Stelling

They will hammer them at the Bernabeu

It's being jet washed as we type/speak

Xavi 

what a goal

Tello does so well then makes an arse of himself

Still looks a canny player

Messi  :clap:
