aye, how are Roma so bad at defending Zeman.

Really hope Suarez either gets injured or does something silly midweek.

Anybody watching Roma - Udinese? Totti has still got it.

This has been my biggest gripe for quite a while now. We pass then ball watch, like you said it's painful to watch, especially when the attacks just stop there because no one is making the move. Yup, and to be it's highlighted more than it would be for us than other teams because we're utterly inept at set-pieces. These posts

First bit aye, second bit is nonsense. It really isn't though, is it? Yes we have good players, but we're not a good team. Not in a collective and footballing sense anyway. West Brom's shape, passing, movement, pressing off the ball etc put us to shame today and a lot of teams in the league do the same with worse players.

Flukiest win ever. We really are a poor team.

Depressing stuff.

I lived in Newcastle from 2004 to 2006. Met a bloke at work in my first week, who invited me to a Gateshead Cup pre season tournament where Feyenoord were playing that weekend. Enjoyed myself. The opportunity presented itself to take one of his friends' season tickets and I took it. The rest is history as they say. I've been to a few Feyenoord games too, but didn't like the atmosphere in the stadium much. Too many jumped up radgies, insulting chanting etc. for my liking. Ahh cool. I remember that tournament, the first of the many games against Sporting Cunts that year.

Anybody watching Catania/Juve? Scandalous decision to disallow the Catania goal. Same old, same old from Juve.

Ah OK. Why did you decide to support Newcastle over them?

Do you prefer Feyenoord to Ajax?

Nah not on UK telly. Catania - Juve is on ESPN now.

It's ridiculous how you can sign these absurdly talented players who then struggle to fit into the way of playing. Zlatan, Villa, Sanchez have all functioned to an extent but never as they have done elsewhere. Didn't Zlatan blame Messi? Not sure how he could have complained like, though his ego is obviously massive...

Today's red card victim:

Did you see Chile - Argentina a few weeks ago? First half in particular he was fantastic to watch, like he was at Udinese. I just think his skillset is drilled out of him/underused in a team where Messi is the playmaker and everybody functions in such a particular style.

I think maybe Barca shouldn't have signed Sanchez. He's wasted in Barca's team a bit; being used largely a runner, grafter, dragger of defenders and front to goal finisher in the same way Pedro is. If you watched him for Udinese or for Chile he has good playmaking capabilities, is a fantastic dribbler, can take players out of the game with one v one skill (he doesn't do stepovers anymore really) and is devestating on the counter-attack. Most of these strengths he doesn't get to show as a cog in Barca's system.

Actually quite irritating they've amassed that points total despite being colossally shit and negative all season. We fucking gifted them 1 last week man.

Cesar isn't the player he was 2 or 3 years ago but he was excellent today. Made some great saves despite the commentators talking about how dodgy he was every couple of minutes.

Good to see Kanu and Bryan Robson's adoptive son doing the business for Reading again.

Arsenal been poor. You wouldn't think Wilshere was the one coming back from 17 months out, he's been there liveliest player by a fair bit.

Shola was always a centre forward too, even when he was stuck out wide. Sammy is a winger/wide forward in almost every sense of his play. He needs to be working on playing with his head up, his decision making and tactical discpline. He's massively raw and naive at the moment and needs a lot of maturing to do as a footballer. The physical side doesn't seem important compared to these factors.

They'll be getting rid of that forren lad in gerl next. "Well played Marty. Not eyvan a reyal country like, that beljum. FTB"
