Excellent first half. Would have loved a second goal.

Some of you treat Sterling disgustingly

Harsh isn't it. Anyone who doesn't agree that he deserves to be the highest paid player in our history is obviously just racist

What a strange statement. What has racism got to do with it?

I think FACW06 isn't a Sterling fan and is being sarcastic......

Fern having a great game , keep him as long as he wants to play . He must be a great influence around this team .

[john@staustell]

Norwich went to bits once we deflated the bubble.

For the record I'm a bit harsh on Razza cos he fucks up 9 in 10.

What colour his skin is means fuck all to me

Fern is slower than a snail, but his overall movement and positioning is something you teach in school.
Reminds me of Paddy V's time with us.

Wish I went to that school. My football education was to work hard, shoot at sight, and hit the ball down the channels (aim for the corner flags!). Learnt. more about football playing Sunday league footy in the Netherlands in my 30's than what I did going from 7 a side to 4th division senior football in Sweden.

Zinchenko playing amazingly well considering. Has slotted right in.

Considering what? Just lack of game time I hope, he gets a rough ride for a utility (non regular starter) player IMHO

We are very privileged to have a seasoned international central midfielder deputising as left back. Sure, he's not always up for it defensively, but we tick so well when he's on the left.

At my school all that was said was “get stuck in”

Fuck all about tactics

[mr_nool]

Get the fuck in! Phil!

[PeterParker]

GET THE FUCK IN!
but ffs how sort this shit out!

[CTID Hants]

Get in Phil, their heads will drop now

This is the total football that Michels and Cruyff talked about and played.

[FA cup winners 2006]

That's Gundogan's best position. He is excellent arriving late into the box

[blues2win]

Right thread now! Well done Phil.

[CTID Hants]

Right thread now! Well done Phil.

Ha ha I just done that

As a kid (11) played one game for Steaua's youths, at a trial. Didn't deserve it at all, wasn't focused on playing, and we were forced to play 4-3-3, the Sacchi way. Then the old chairman, legendary fella, was forcing it. Then he died soon after the club went to shit, there was no tactic anymore, like literally from what I've heard.
Today's could be funny, if it wasn't sad, the richest kids are playing the coach is just sitting there, while the loudest parent from the stand gives indications.

[nottsblue]

Should see the game out now. A third would be good to then give one of the young lads on the bench a few more game minutes

[blues2win]

I meant lack of game time
