Worst feeling is when you wake up the next day imo. Takes about two seconds to think about the result and then it's "FFS, there's my day ruined" At least the match only ruins half a matchday. Puts me off all other footy related stuff too. Didn't watch MOTD. Podcasts this week will probably be avoided. Started reading a new book instead of the one I was.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have such an emotional investment in football. Just getting along happily doing something then I remember the result and it pisses me off again.

Just seen this, might be Giggs. Took the time to cover the Madrid badge with a #7 Such a drama queen. http://as01.epimg.net/futbol/imagenes/2012/11/17/primera/1353150896_146064_1353151333_noticia_normal.jpg edit: turns out the whole squad have them and it was just shitstirring by Spanish papers.

It's getting very boring now.

He's not tbh. He's just consistently siding with Pardew rather than the players. Player dribbling rather than passing? Player is being selfish rather than the chronic lack of movement in our side leaving him with few options. Central midfielders struggling? Playing shit, nothing to do with our tactics leaving us outnumbered every week. Players hoofing the ball forward? Their own decision, not a coaching instruction. Cisse not scoring goals? He's been shit, nothing to do with the fact as a team our football produces the square root of fuck all for him. Etc etc. It's his perogative, but I just can't bring myself to agree at all.

Could be a cracking left back but as a left winger it's so obvious what he's trying to do and therefore easy to shut down. Aye I said the same a couple of months ago. To me he looks like a player who's going to be better suited overlapping and running from deep rather than as a winger needing to go past the full-back in a 1 v 1 situation. Problem being is that you'd have to have a lot of patience in him improving the defensive side of his game. (which can be done, but at the cost in the short-term)

I find myself consistently disagreeing with you. Same recently.

The bloke needs paddling himself.

Agreed.

Depressing seeing two of Swansea's signings sink us while we still have this bloke at CB due to a lack of investment.

Another fucking week ruined.

It's ridiculous, even if the comments are slightly tonge in cheek.

The national team suffers moreso from the success, not the style, of the Premier League. Disagree. The style of the league is a reflection of our footballing culture and the way we develop players.

And you were doing so well, Everton.

I'm not sure that Unbelievable was questioning the legitimacy of the contrast - more that saying the high-tempo, physical nature in the Prem can be described as 'lightyears away' as in superior. In footballing terms the helter-skelter, up and at 'em football, power-over-patience culture ingrained into our players continually leaves us behind the rest of the world when we go head to head internationally. May be wrong like. I don't think you can deny there's a significant style/cultural difference between football in Eredivisie and the Premier League.

Good god.

One of the Redknapps.

Giggsception

Must have watched that goal about 10 times now, looks even better from the opposite angle. Love when you see a goal that is almost something completely new; Cisse's last season was similar.

Omgz

Remember when Marty said he was shit. What time the highlights on?

Just checked the score, can't believe I missed Zlatan scoring 4 against England.

Brilliant
