Deuce

Honestly, best defensive performance of the season. Both of them were absolutely tremendous. The amount of headers won against Traore was ridiculous. That's what amazed me. They kept floating balls in towards Traore before Mbiwa or Perch flew up past his head and cleared them. We of all fans should know that height does not necessarily equate with aerial prowess.

As a side note, seemed to me that Eto'o was playing rather deep tonight. Almost as an attacking midfielder. Traore if anyone positioned himself like a striker would. I did notice that which is far removed from his strengths IMO and we seemed quite comfortable to deal with it. Except for those two cracking shots, he seemed pretty ineffective tonight.

Perch and Raylor, cut from the same cloth. Jacks-of-all-trades, masters of none. Every squad needs them though.

Home kit is nothing special. Clean as it should be. Like the away kit though. Look nice with some white shorts.

He's a very good player on an incredible run of form. If he can replicate this over a full season or two, then we can wank ourselves silly over him. Nobody is deserving of being hyped before games he's not even playing in though.

Not really sure who you're referring to looking at the last page or so. Not as hard as usual, mind: Thises ^

Best player in history with another goal.

Chelsea

Guess so, even with Colo down.

Been impressed with his performances past couple weeks. Not as commanding as Krul, but not dreadful by any means.

Too long. Just far too long We've finally managed to rid ourselves of Vile Nile, just give it time for Obey.

Beginning the understand why some have been fed-up with this thread. Not much to criticize the man for tonight.

Disagree completely, this leg gives us the perfect opportunity to go through, if we mess it up next week the problem is next week not with this result. Bingo.

I'd not put that past Pards though. "Alright lads, need to hold the lead in the second leg."

Well done Jimmy.

fyp.

Positives: defensive play. Even Obertan's tracking-back was mint. Negatives: everything else.

One of the best performances from the entire backline I've seen in some time.

"10 years ago Newcastle were a good team."

Offering 3/1 on a Tiote yellow in the last 10 minutes.
