Deuce

I agree. Not deserving of the disproportionate amount of criticism he receives. Bale was pretty ineffective all day. We start to win football games and challenge the top teams and all of sudden Simpson is expected to be Ashley Cole going forward.

Ship him out!

The pint guard is definitely Cabaye or Tiote, but the point is still somewhat valid. Ben Arfa is the one player in our team who is different from the rest. He regularly does things none of the other ten would think of trying. We need to give him space to operate and lead the team forward. He won't ask for the ball the majority of the time, but when he does, it should be given to him. Something is coming. Average performance, but a great result against a side that will be a direct rival if things go to plan. Two moments of brilliance from two people that will need to carry us on at least three fronts this season. For me, either HBA or Jonas play that PG role. Jonas is more of a Rondo type, not looking to score, but working hard to maintain possession and distribute. HBA is like CP3. Keeping us in the game, absolutely looking to score but more than capable of finding the right option. Tiote is Ron Artest. Ok wtf is a point guard? And if it's something to do with american football can we please never use it again... Brits and basketball HBA is absolutely the PG of this team.

Should have stayed on and switched with Cisse tbh. If we absolutely had to bring on Obertan, should've been for Papi.

Simply amazing player. He could be starting for almost any team.

When Colo's back, Perch needs to start at RB over Simps.

That bonecrunching tackle when he ripped himself a new anus. Pards trying to sub him off in the 14th minute:

Lot of poor-passing so far. HBA, Jonas, Tiote only players looking decent. Cabaye offering nothing. I expect to see Anita in some way, shape, or form in the 2nd half. For his fitness if nothing else. We need a 3rd CB.

The hell is this guy doing kicking a kid?

Love it to stay that way.

Nice of them to see us without Colo and spot us Gallas

Starting Sinclair, Dyer, and Riise in fantasy today.

My decision to select Riise and Nathan Dyer has paid off so far Except they didn't count Dyer's assist on that goal

Be hilarious if Ross County pulls out a win

I think we can do it, tbh. Spurs have a lot of ?s going into this season. AVB being one of them. 1st and 2nd are locked-up already and Arsenal and Chelsea should battle it out for 3rd and 4th. But we should be fighting Tottenham and Liverpool for 5th and I think we have a more unified squad at this point than either of them.

More likely they'd target M'Vila, no?

I'm so blasé about your impressive lexicon. I think you mean his vocabulary. "Vocabulary" as a term is so passé these days.

Song isn't what Barca need either, unless they're planning to convert him or Busquets to centre back. apparently they are, dunno why they just don't do what everyone else does and go out and actually buy a centre half Barca are the hipsters of the football world. CBs are so blasé.

Listening to some pundits on ESPN talk about the situation, Steve Nicol (his former coach in MLS) and Robbie Earle find it hard to believe Dempsey's refused to play. Not in his character. This could be Martin Lol throwing a hissy, as he's been known to do.

Is that really the problem in this particular deal? I was of the impression it's because once he does get to that sort of his age he won't be worth very much. Wonder how much Cole is worth? Depends, are we going by the Steven Fletcher market standard?

The latter seems to be Ashley's top priority. But I'd say there's need for a balance between the two.

Even getting solid fullback work from Debuchy for 3 years would be worth it for the price, imo.
