Ref letting a lot go

Terrible by Lovren there

Did he actually say that? If so, what a cunt

Helmet nerds

Who's the 3rd team? Just meant automatic promotion really - Serie B has a rule where if the 3rd place team are 10+ points ahead of 4th place, then they don't bother with the playoffs, which happened with Genoa. Really good rule

Nice to see UEFA getting their priorities in order by asking FIFA if they'll allow Platini to go to games at the Euro's

If you don't like Cisse it's not because of his grin so let's get rid of this stupid idea. Cisse grins all the time and he always has. Okay, I was being a bit facetious. He seems a bit wrapped up in himself and thinks he's a better player than he is. Somewhere he's absorbed this idea that it's all his useless team mates' fault for not providing him with gilt-edged chances. That amused expression that he carries around with him sums it all up somehow. Rafa has been able to get more effort out of him than Pardew and McClaren could manage, and latterly he seemed to be at least trying to be more of a team player. Still an irritant though. You know him personally like?

Boring

Must've been hard for them to have to go up against such a scary and corrupt regime. North Korea that is

All these people who say La Liga is poor outside the top 3 don't seem to take into account that the best teams in La Liga are absolutely miles better than the best teams in the Premier League so of course there will be more hammerings of the smaller teams in La Liga. We would've got beat about 10-0 by Barca this season

You'd never know, Armstrong could tell him that he feels their personalities are too different for it to work

Hull are so grim. Haven't had an interesting footballer since that Geovanni bloke for a while ages ago

Do we have any other scouts like, bar Rod Stewart' twin? We should really have loads of different ones all over Europe reporting back to the main scout. Shouldn't have to rely on two pensioners

Grim that a lad that age is rejecting a contract from his boyhood club Has the little scrites even played since the first couple of weeks? Only started three games, came on in a few more

The amount of dealings with that Mondial Sport agency seemed a bit dodgy but that's without knowing anything about how big that agency is. Hard to know how much he is to blame when we don't know if he got the players he really wanted and the fact he was bound by pretty restrictive parameters for players but its clear he wasn't very good at his job

Link to when he said he was world class? Eh??? It was a reference to his wish to play for a champions league club when he's clearly not good enough with any consistency. Not everything is literal Yes because wanting to play in the Champions League and thinking you're world class are the exact same thing. FFS

The only stats that reflect on Sissoko's performance this year is the only one that matters: 1 goal in 39 appearances. The bloke has been pathetic, anyone who has actually watched his performances could see that. He's improved (well, started trying) since Rafa came in but that is not good enough. If he didn't down tools under SMC and tried all season, we might not be going to Burton next year. What games did he down tools in under SMC? The most obvious one that springs to mind was when he was boo'd off at home to Bournemouth because he was absolutely pathetic. I remember him walking around the pitch that day. That the one where he went off and then their left back scored a goal having done nothing while Sissoko was on that side? :lol: Sissoko being pathetic is now excused because someone scored a goal after he left the field. I've heard it all. Oh, because you love your stats - did you know that ALL of Sissoko's goals and assists have come at SJP this season? In 19 away games this year, his contribution has been 0 goals and 0 assists averaging 0.6 shots per game (and playing full games in nearly all of them). Utterly pathetic. My argument isn't that he's been good though, its that his laziness is massively exaggerated. When he plays bad people reach for the lazy jibe when its more likely down to poor passing, touch, crossing etc. You don't see many full backs get an easy ride going forward when Sissoko was there, that's why I brought up the Bournemouth left back scoring after he went off. Also when he was put left back he generally put in a good shift, that would have been an ideal time for someone who didn't care not to try. And since moved into the centre under Rafa he's been putting in a full effort. This along with his 56 chances created tell me that he generally puts in a decent effort

What is 'chances created' actually measured on? It's meaningless bollocks. Sissoko has been atrocious for the most part, no stats are required to confirm this. Its measured on creating chances I'd imagine

56 "chances created" - you could "create a chance" by passing a ball to someone who is stood next to you. I created a chance this morning when I opened a can of pop, there was a chance it could piss out everywhere. Fucking stats like that man You could reflect stats to show anything you want. Sissoko has been an embarrassment all season and most of last season too. The quicker he leaves this football club the better. You "could" create a chance by passing a ball to someone beside you, that happening 56 times over the course of the season obviously isn't going to happen. Anyone who has watched us this season and doesn't think Sissoko created the bulk of our chances over the course of the season is mental

The only thing worse than people who rely totally on stats are people who totally dismiss them as unimportant especially ones such as chances created

Sissoko must be fucking class if he's hid in nearly every game yet has created 56 chances
