at least it would be different to anita and colback just kinda being there neither of them doing anything good

is tiote anywhere near fit? I'd star him if he was fit

the two are a terrible pairing but when they brought up the passing thing it seems (to me anyway) more instruction from the manager than the players being incapable of passing forward

Worrying. Sounds just like Pardew. you'd almost swear managers speak in soundbytes and 90% of what comes out of their mouth is bullshit to cover their asses

tbf we looked competent vs southampton and man utd, less so arsenal and swansea

would have been better than cisse who offered less than nothing

I'm actually baffled nobody at all paid up, seems such an obvious no brainer

yeah we really should have replaced him in the summer

he and colback are pretty interchangeable not much if any difference between them imho

what really bugs me is the way the english media have fawned over him and buy into his bullshit

Seriously? Holy shit man, wasn't he supposed to be on 8m a year when he came back? fairly sure abramovich can find some money down his couch if he needed to pay him off.

might come down to Mourinho blaming Abramovich sooner or later for not getting stones etc etc etc and when that happens he will be gone

things tend to fall apart for Mourinho in season 3 at a club but this is kinda silly that defense looks a shadow of what it was last season

wonder if De Gea is a bit annoyed at Real Madrid after that fiasco, whatever the truth about the last day Real did have all summer to pay up and refused to do so until the last minute, might make you wonder how much do they really value you.

obviously you would

1-0 Ireland Walters

Week 5 Everton 0-2 Chelsea Arsenal 2-0 Stoke Palace 1-3 City Norwich 2-1 Bournemouth Watford 0-1 Swansea WBA 1-2 Southampton Man Utd 0-0 Liverpool Sunderland 0-0 Spurs Leicester 3-1 Villa West Ham 2-0 Newcastle

Loveren did look steady at Southampton right? What the fucks happened to him because that error vs west ham last week was as bad if not worse than anything Bramble or Boumsong produced. As for Shelvey, bit strange to give up on a young player so quickly and easily especially when you know Gerrard doesn't have much left, could have just loaned him out but to sell a young english player for £5m when now he's worth at least 4 times that amount doesn't make Rodgers look great

Janmaat for me at the moment, waiting and seeing on the newbies

god bless Georgia

Express saying Pulis is furious he wasn't sold. Apparently this is all sown to the Jeremy Peace guy. Pulis had told Berahino he could leave, and was purposely keeping him out due to their agreement. Explains Berahino's frustration tbh. makes sense, just leaves a large mess for Pulis to try and clean up

Not sure I agree, I don't understand why he didn't force it. He's 26, and it's a short career. especially with the euros coming up, sure he'd be an outside contender but another season like last one goal wise and he'd be in consideration for the squad. Then again do we need another player crying and moaning because he won't be getting a slightly larger sack of money each month? All credit to him for not acting so selfish. Hope he does well this season and in his career. he'll probably be off in jan anyway, somebody down near the bottom will be desperate enough with the new tv deal starting next season (i think) to pay whatever to get a goalscorer.

moderately pleased, we really could have done with another full back at least to cover for Janmaat or improve on Haidara/Dummett at left back but still 4 first teamers in and the only major departure being Cabella is good enough.

really daft considering walcott will break something at some stage. Plus if coquelin gets injured then the replacements arteta? Thats not good enough for a team who should be trying to win the league
