They still in debt? Would be gutted if they sold Falcao in January.

Easy to be up for it and vocal when most away trips result in victories. You can basically shout and taunt all you like because 90% of the time it won't bite you on the arse. Unlike with us

Atleti for La Liga.

Sigh

Was class running towards the front

Nagatomo harsh second yellow imo

Kinell!

Apparently Zlatan has just scored 2 screamers for PSG. Stick that on record later.

That's his 3rd or 4th free kick this season. Getting better all the time.

Aye I'm not bothering with Facebook or owt tonight. Can't stand people who couldn't give a shit about football twatting on.

In other news, this lot are still shit.

Anybody see the 'Durham Reds' or something banner? Remember seeing a 'Darlington Reds' bus last year too, around about the time Darlo were in the courts being wound up. Go figure eh.

Left on 92 mins but wouldn't blame anyone for leaving at 3-0 of any game. Think it's a bit shit meself like. I used to get precious over this, but tbh I've seen too many hammerings over the years to care anymore. Usually stay until the end at SJP but away from home ill be off if we are getting tonked. Left after the fifth goal at Spurs in February, what was the point of staying? It doesn't bother me massively, just don't see why people do it. Those that do are often the same ones that will leave in a close game too, whether we're 1 up or 1 down or something. Just comes across like they've got no real interest in being there.

32 C. Abbiati 76 M. Yepes 25 D. Bonera 5 P. Mexès 2 M. De Sciglio 10 K. Boateng 34 N. de Jong 28 U. Emanuelson 18 R. Montolivo 22 Bojan 92 S. El Shaarawy Worst Milan team in history?

Think I might watch the Meelan derby instead. Poor stuff from whoever is reponsible for them being on at the same time.

He deserves to be called names as much as any of our players do after a poor performance. Tis a fair point made.

neesy outed as an 80 minute bailer

Don't think Guardiola gets enough respect for the job he did. Made them as formidable as possible at the top level with the competition there is.

Barca have been unwhelming all season. No surprise.

Don't blame the fans one bit today. The first 15 minutes absolutely killed any chance of an atmosphere. I'm surprised it even managed to pick up at all after that.

He's out of his depth, simply put. The non-signing of a new CB is one of the most infuriating things in the last 2 or 3 years. Absolutely baffling that we go through window after window without re-inforcing.

Wullie hit the nail on the head when he said our transfer policy lends itself to having an imbalanced squad and players who don't necessarily fit a system together. All about getting a bargain rather than filling a positional/tactical requirement. We've got good (fantastic in some cases) individuals but they're often incompatible. 2 fantastic individual strikers who don't really work together a prime example, or the lack of natural width despite having a shitload of midfielders on the books. Half the problem is the manager struggling to fit them together and the other half is that to fit them into a functionig system he has to sacrifice some of them completely or move them into a position they're not keen on. It's the biggest elephant in the room at the club right now - our sole source of goals also has us playing a system we're not particularly fluid in as a unit (to say the least).

He has a point, though. Cabaye's done nothing really so far this season and his set pieces are very poor 100% of the time. I don't really get this, alright he hits the front man now and again but I'm not sure what more he can do a lot of the time. Every free kick within sixty yards he's told to launch into the box despite the fact we don't have the players for it, and his corners generally go around about the penalty spot. There's only so much influence the taker has at a corner. The bigger problem is that our players all pose absolutely zero aerial threat, which begs the question why do we work set pieces the way we do? The corners they scored from weren't fantastic but the movement was, in fact the second should have been cleared at the front post, as one of ours would have been.

Embarrassing. Game lost in the first 15 minutes when we came out like frightened little girls.
