Arrogance.

Considering what he has shown in his few games so far, I believe he has a big part to play in Europe.

Thank God. Now we can play him against Metalist.

Wasn't Jenkinson on loan at Stoke or something?

Play Mapou and Saylor together if we are looking long-term.

Regardless of merits, Pardew will play him as long as there's a chance of him staying beyond the summer. Plus he's the captain.

How is Taylor at fault for their 2nd man? It was Colo's poor judgment in his failed attempt at a clearance.

I wasn't too worried. Then I saw the oxygen being administered.

At fault for both their goals today.

His kicking...

I switch on the telly and Dennis Wise is in the studio.

Hmm, Perch starting instead of Tiote.

Love it that the last bit in the article mentions Shearer, and your signature is all about him.

Played in the Bundesliga and counts Bayern Munich among his former teams, even if he wasn't prolific in Europe. Was still playing for Iran in WC 2006 at the age of 37.

I refuse to believe it's anything more than a C&P.

Tiote's calves. Sissoko's thighs. Cabaye's chest. Willo's hair.

Who wants to say it?! I can see Gouffran becoming a new term in the same way as Giggs.

I reckon Remy and Zaha are the two reading from the articles? Has that Cech remark about the SJP crowd been proven to be real anyway? I'm not sure we had an offer on the table for Zaha at all, given what his price ended up being. He was obviously on our long-term list of players we'd like if the price was right, but we weren't ever in the running in reality. Think it was in little doubt that we had bid for Thauvin but he decided he'd prefer to stay in France and move to Lille. The Remy one goes without saying. Good to see that those 2 deals we've missed out would have been on top of the January signings. Hopefully they have truly learned from this season and do what is necessary to push on in future.

And yes, I really like the idea of filling out SJP for the remaining home matches. The atmosphere will be brilliant.

That's a nice kit, although it looks a bit Holland-ish. France always seems to have class ones.
