*** MATCHDAY 1: Build up and official match day thread ***

[Chopper]

Fuuuuck that was nice

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Silva off the bar!!! It's coming lads

[Moonchesteri]

Silva hits the crossbar!

but Clichy does brilliantly to win a corner for us. he has impressed me today

[Slim]

Bloody hell, just after macca was talking about fre flowing football and that happens.

[mr_nool]

Good work by Edin.

[CityGer]

Much better.

Finding our stride.

[Dameerto]

I love Dzeko - there, I've said it. Silva really wants a goal tonight, go on you little bundle of joy.

[KinkyKinkladze]

That's the third time Johnson's tried to meg somebody and failed miserably. Stop fucking about lad.

[mr_nool]

That's the third time Johnson's tried to meg somebody and failed miserably. Stop fucking about lad.

Whereas Dzeko'spulled it off twice in a row now.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Nice from Dzeko, once we get a goal I think we will hammer these

[Dameerto]

We look ominous.

[MR IMAINEROAD]

Sad to say but AJ looks a tad off the pace tonight.

[bigblue]

That's the third time Johnson's tried to meg somebody and failed miserably. Stop fucking about lad.

our worst player on the pitch so far. dwells on the ball and usually loses it. get aguero or balo in @ the half

[Slim]

Why does Yaya always look like he just got out of a swimming pool?

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Their keeper can't kick for shit

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Unlucky yaya, the man's a monster.

[mr_nool]

Their keeper can't kick for shit

I think he's used to always trying to find a team mate to pass it too, and holds on to the ball when that doesn't happen.
In Holland hoofing it is a deathly sin. He will have to learn, tough.

[bigblue]

Why does Yaya always look like he just got out of a swimming pool?

he also looks like a machine mountain, once he gets going good luck stopping him

[Moonchesteri]

Their keeper can't kick for shit

true that. i expect better from the keepers' in the Finnish 3rd division and that says a lot

[CityGer]

Need to put one of these away.....
