They're 1-0 down already? Fucking hell, this could be fun.

Aye, that's true like. The Tiote thing is the thing that is killing me, because while the result wont cost us points losing him for 3 games will.

Their manager is a bit of a cock like. At the end of the day though, they've had their moment in the sun now. They've had their one day where they attract a decent crowd, made an atmosphere and got a memorable result. Ultimately though, they're not going to win the cup and in all likelyhood neither were we. Next week their 3000 or so regulars will go back to quietly watching League Two mediocrity and the 3000 or so that came out of the woodwork will go back to watching their Premier League team on the telly. It's an embarrassing result and a painful one to take, but it shouldn't have an adverse effect on our decent season so far. Move on and forget.

Aye, it's Krul's fault the rest of them failed to pass to teammates and build attacks against a League Two team.

Agree with all bar Williamson and Ranger. Williamson despite tonight is a steady defender who is able backup on low wages. Ranger should go out, but only on loan.

The club want to be onto these for a fucking apology, sharpish. Tabloids: Sun, Star, Mirror, Express, Mail, News of the World, People 'Proper' newspapers: Independent, Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Observer Dedicated: Daily/Sunday Sport Shame the 'proper' newspapers fail to uphold any standards just like the tabloids.

Not his slave anymore

Fucking hell man

His goal-scoring record for Spain has always been good hasn't it though? 9 in 54. Better than his Barcelona one, but not reflective of his genius. Just proves sometimes you need to look beyond stats.

2 assists and a goal for Messi then. Afellay and Thiago on now.

Haha.

You're right like VI. Iniesta has added a goalscoring touch this season.

Yo dude. He hasn't got an allround game though, yeah, not great from set-pieces? Beastttttttt.

He doesn't run away towards the away end though. On the extended video I posted before, he simply proceeds to run around in circles waving the scarf about and continues to mingle with celebrating fans.

This is like the "Smith gives his all" argument people have been coming out with for ages. Jumping into tackles does not equal heart and desire, it equals stupidity and naivety. Yeah, Tiote is stupid and naive because he wants to win the ball back. Yup. He's extra stupid because he succeeded in doing so. How NAIVE of him.

Those underwear adverts were a bit of a botched decision from him.

Abidal!!! Edit: Ahhhh

Yup.

0-1. Villa sneaks it in.

Aye fair enough. Guess the fact he's gone 2 games without a goal has blown my mind.

Is it just me or has Messi been a little below par last few games. I know he sets the bar ridiculously high, but he hasn't looked quite as unstoppable recently.

His crossing is minging.

Haven't been impressed with Adriano at all when I've seen him.
