Miercoles

Oh no, a #10 that's not a dominant physical presence, whatever will we do with him??

Until you get an injury and ACON and suddenly your senior centerback is Paul fucking Dummet

Does the Championship have any sort of official online streaming option available? Or will I be at the mercy of TV producers and the goodwill of Pirates all year long?

Aye should have been a punch rather than trying to catch. Clear out the striker and the ball in one fell swoop.

We are going to get absolutely dicked. Sleeping through this one.

Hilarious and sad moment against Leicester where janmaat was dribbling, showed great skills and skinned two opposing players, charging down the touchline.... Towards our own goal to pass back to Rob Elliot

Hate all this "once you go 1-0 down you have to be happy with a draw" bullshit. Like it's unthinkable to score 2 goals. Oh...

He needs the Gattuso to his Pirlo. Not saying he's as good as Pirlo of course but he's a deep laying playmaker that isn't going to also do the dirty work of the holding role. Paired with a quality dmf he could really take us places I think. Tiote a few years ago could have been that guy perhaps. Maybe Rafa can get him going again.

1-0 win. We are Chelsea's curse.

Think we've done our business like. We never seem to do deadline deals anyway, or am I trippin? Also Costa going off hurt today can't be a good sign for all the folks calling Remy's name on here.

He's a defensive midfielder who can't fucking tackle to save his life! An absolute shambles.

Beautiful strike. Love watching this guy play.

So much better than cisse. Yes papisse is more likely to score, but you have to absolutely carry him for 90 minutes. Mitro contributes a lot and we have shown we can score from midfield with gini and Perez and now hopefully shelvey.

Really don't like this guys stats... Can't say I've ever paid attention to him but the last time he got a decent number of games, in 13/14, he played 25 games, had 56 shots, 1 goal and 0 assists. Seems like the worst bits of HBA*, optimistic shots from silly places, without the magic and my gay crush. Normally I like just about any signing but can't say I'm into this one. *my favorite player ever too, so you can stop pounding your keyboard

Can't believe when he gets his ban his replacement will be fuck Gouffran. What a shambles.

We wouldn't have played him anyway.

Hope Jurgen can get his shit together by then! I feel like we have excellent young players but he needs to sack up and ditch the old superstars like Dempsey and the old shit players like Altidore and Jones. The teams that beat Germany and Netherlands looked fresh as fuck and I've got no doubt they could, Cthullu willing, win the damn thing. Assuming Brazil and Argentina collapse under the combined weight of their pussy and steak dinners. What am I even talking about...

I'm in Liverpool a lot, I know quite a few evetonians, some claim to know Rooneys dad etc etc, they all claim he'll go back in the summer. Not sure why they would want him though, nostalgia aside he's well past it now and lord knows his wages would be ridiculous.

Nah, the Gosling save was really good, it's not just a simple spread of the body, there's a little movement towards the ball with his leg. The thunderbastard that he tipped over was a good save as was recovering from Mbemba's fuck up. Also that diving catch of the weird high cross that got caught by the wind. You could tell he pulled that shit out of his ass but it was a nifty NFL catch and the striker was there to pounce if he had let it bounce. Thought that was one of his more key plays just based on how weird the situation was and how unusual that type of catch is in soccer. Mostly routine saves but you still have to make them, thought he's done very well in this game and against Stoke really. Maybe becoming third choice has fired him up a bit.

This is too fucking true, Josh Koscheck once faked injury in a UFC fight when a guy -almost- hit him with an illegal knee strike. iirc he won by disqualification too. So if you can flop your way to victory in a fucking cage fight.... Basically I'm against flopping except when it helps our team and we win.

Man this is one of my huge pet hates, people over here bag on soccer constantly about diving but it is easily as bad or even worse in the nba. Just a matter of reputation. Annoying as fuck in both sports, but there is no way I'm going to disparage our best player becauase he is shrewd enough to utilize a bit of run of the mill gamesmanship. Furthermore, I've no idea where people have got the idea that he dives or feigns injury regularly, I think nine times out of ten he eats shit because he is a nine pound Spaniard in a league where they don't call fouls committed against shit teams like ours. Finally, he scored a great goal today and you can fuck right off if you think shooting early, hard, and low is a poor finish. That's how you beat every keeper is low, and Ayoze's poise on that shot with three defenders in arm's reach was fantastic. So give the kid a break if he went down easy when Henry David Whats-His-Fuck gave him his first cauliflower ear, he's the only one on the team that managed a shot on target, and he scored the fucking goal that got us out of the relegation zone. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go finish my Freedom Fries.

I tried to forget as much as possible about the derby

Yup, don't understand this at all. Maybe it's because I'm American, and soccer is synonymous with pussies and diving so I don't have any expectations that it will be played in some bizarre "manfully british" fashion.

Last few certainly haven't been great.

Sigh. That was supposed to quote the guy talking about diving of course. Probably like thirty pages ago now. Mobile posting is tricky.
