Aye alreet mate

Are you dense? It's a club photo promoting merchandise.

This. Support was superb. Was so good in the lower tier in the corner. That's where we were, towards the back. Looked like there was a bit of bother between some lads and stewards second half? Probably some fans threatening to enjoy themselves after travelling from London. Maybe tried to eat some crisps from outside or were obscuring an advertisement of some sort. Possibly. The situation before the game was a disgrace like, didn't feel safe at all. Also there was a lot of people who were clearly very, very drunk and a bit angry generally. Hate the "We hate cockneys" patter, mind. Had a class chat with a couple of Spurs fans after the game and not only were they sound but they understood why we hated Pardew. Fair do's. I don't like it either but it's a two way street with their lot giving it the 'we pay your benefits' and 'northern scum' stick.

I pictured him as 7 goal a season Piquionne type, he's not even that ffs

I'd happily see him shipped back to France on January 1st. He's fucking dogshit.

Atmosphere is frequently great when you're getting gubbed like. Not like there's out else you can do in that situation.

Eredivisie is a league full of young promising players still developing. Naive defending coupled with an inclination towards attacking football breads goalscoring forwards. It's actually been great at producing strikers over the years (Suarez, van Nistelrooy, Romario, Ronaldo, Bergkamp, RvP, Makaay, Ibrahimovic, Huntelaar, Bony etc) but its also inflated the records of some average players (Ruiz, Altidore, Kezman, El Hamdoui, Bas Dost, Nkufo, Vennegoor of Hesselink etc). Even Michael Higdon scored 14 there last season. It's hit and miss, but de Jong scoring some goals again now he's back really doesn't prove much. He was poor in Germany and here. Languid, slow running style, and no aggression to his play for such a big striker. You need ridiculous technique (Berbatov) or be a first rate poacher (Gomez) to make up for those deficiencies.

I've never seen somebody so unable to strike a ball cleanly or get involved in the game positively. I remember him play OK away at Hull when they were beyond shite but that's about it.

The Yorkie - Brewcie thing's not new like, he's always had a thing for him. Everybody has their daft opinions like when I thought Bendtner had potential.

No. He was very bad at the football.

Anybody going then? I'm heading down. Biggest game we've had since Benfica. Can quite easily see another week like that one happening as well.

Fixed, assumed it was.

Dread to think what line-up he sends out

If he's going around smacking the likes of Pardew and Bruce and then just laughing in their faces there's no way he can improve in my eyes. No way at all.

Bruce is such a fat mess man I'm pissing myself at that image of him 'blowing a gasket' while Ben Arfa just laughs at him.

If this is true he is my all time favourite player

It's astonishing just how far removed his idea of how the game should be played is from mine. Cunt.

He's said some fucking shite over the last 4 years but arguing that we were 'too ambitious' tonight takes the fucking biscuit.

He's so 'good defensively' there was a massive space in our midfield on a number of occasions as better players drifted away from him and Tiote.

Tiote and Gouffran have been a joke. Colback too, sick of people rimming him he was absolutely shite there.

3-0 Arsenal

Still creasing at Americans blaming Sunderland for Altidore being physically incapable of trapping a ball

Most of the Japanese end up playing in Germany
