Not even playing poorly enough to get the crowd against him. Pointless

Fucking better be enough for at least one Pardew out chant

Swansea are just shit enough to ruin this for us

shola ffs

Really countering with speed here.

Except Pullis

Well he wasn't good enough back then. Weren't we close to loaning him when we were in the Championship? It was from before that when he was at Southampton. You never know how good he was going to be, but there's very little risk to it.

To think, if the English FA even cared to try when he was younger Bale could be going to Brazil.

Ben Arfa-esque

Well fuck

At the very least we need to give him the preseason to have a look, it would be silly not to.

Mannone looked like a toddler losing his favorite toy. Perfect

:lol: :lol:

So typical that it'll be someone like Conor fucking Wickham that saves Sunderland.

Everton score

ffs

The fuck is wrong with Man City when they play Sunderland?

Di Maria is some form

Vidic was always a little weak with 1v1, got beat a lot because he wasn't agile enough. The ultimate conclusion is there just aren't that many top level centerbacks right now, might not even be more than one. Vidic was pretty instrumental to a side that reached the CL final in 2011 was he not? I think he's declined since then, and isn't even a top defender in this league anymore, but that season he was excellent. Not denying that, gotta look at little things when splitting the top players at each position though. His lack of agility/pace is why I would say Kompany was better then, but Vidic definitely had his day as one of the best. Thiago Silva had all of that and commanded a pretty weak Milan side together with Zlatan to the Serie A title. As soon as both left they've not managed to come close. Anyways, agree to disagree. Wasn't disagreeing abut Thiago Silva or Pique during his time under Pep, just Vidic.

Aguero/Negredo is tasty as fuck. Hope we see more of it next season.

Google says it was around 10mil. Good post Neil, there are definitely some weird expectations of him and I see a lot of people say he's shit when he's clearly got some ability, should've just never been a candidate for the lead striker at Arsenal. Will be a good second option if they can sign someone in the summer.

Guess I was wrong, won't be aired in the UK until the ongoing inquest is over, which is a shame because it could have a powerful impact. Obviously, there are ways to find it.
