Interpolic

They've been prattling on about actually trying in the cups this year though, any piss taking and it will come back at them.

They were the ponciest club going personnel-wise in the 90s as well, that and their fans started me off detesting them. They're a nothing club, or they should be.

Will have less aerial duels there as well.

Was that the one at the end? He nearly tore Colo's shirt off, man. It was a fair aerial duel. Will you stop going on about aerial duels man FFS

Would have thought the same about bringing someone to the match tbf.

Fucking hell, he was all over the place!

Does that not contradict your argument though, there have been various examples down the years of English players that are more than technically adept and possessive of what tends to get called an outstanding "football brain". The likes of Hoddle, Gascoigne, Scholes, etc.

Cole's one of the best strikers we ever had and Owen doesn't belong in that company IMO.

*taught laters

You can't teach decision making to a footballer? Is it the magic ingredient that you just have or dont? Hello mr Pardew. You know what I mean, some players seem to have an instinct for it and some don't. Also don't ever call me Alan fucking Pardew ever again.

Shola's penalty record is one of the most intriguing anomalies of recent times like.

So clever on the ball and off it, almost always makes the right decision. You can't teach that. Love him.

I see what you're saying, you'll always get people's back up phrasing things like that but I agree that it was good we didn't get smashed 5 or 6 nowt. Wouldn't have been my opinion if I'd travelled to the game mind.

Obertan will presumably make way for Thauvin. Otherwise we have some nice options in attack for a change. Do find it frustrating with Aarons mind, he was fucked most of last season and he's fit now and not featuring. Every time he's played he's done well and shown he has an end product

Wouldn't actually, oh wise one. Doubt you'd actually throw yourself under a bus for Mitrovic oh wiser one. I just mean it's a similar sort of emotion, the up and down of things. Aye you're catching on as I was clearly taking the piss with the Mitrovic thing. Re the 2 players you're on about I would be very disappointed if Perez left but it's not happening. Sissoko I could take or leave, I'm not arsed. I know he's one of our best but he's not my type of player.

Barton man, fuck off.

Wouldn't actually, oh wise one.

Aye I'm really pleased with our signings like, don't get me wrong. Would throw myself under a bus for Mitrovic. Love the mad cunt already.

He has in a way, paying the going rate and not constantly looking for cut price deals is a change in direction. Don't think he'll go as far as we need mind and I don't expect this window to be a regular thing. Not squabbling over fees is the only difference, we're still not really recruiting players to plug gaps in our squad. If we buy a physical centre half and a defensive utility player I will categorically stop moaning for at least 10 minutes.

Nah just saying, Mole Just pissing me off a bit at the minute that the media is going on like we're throwing money around when the squad has been wilfully neglected for a number of years.

Were you one of them? You're normally a very good poster but I don't understand what you're trying to say there like. How does us shutting up shop while getting beat last week relate to today's result?

If we hadn't signed a few decent players this summer we'd have got relegated. I like the players we have brought in but let's not fuck about saying Ashley has turned a corner or something.

Got a very good feeling about this lad, think he'll do well.
