Holden McGroin

You cant really argue with dropping him when we've just beaten Chelsea at home and Spurs away without conceding a goal. He'll no doubt play a part in the next couple of games. This formation has seemed to work against teams that will press us but the next two wont.

Series 1 was excellent.

Watched a couple of "Sunday afternoon" movies recently. Identity Thief - Didn't finish it. The Internship - Didn't finish it.

Remy will (and has) scored goals. I think we need to shift Yanga out to full back and get Debuchy out of the team. Anita is too lightweight for me. Cabaye has to come back in for him. Sissoko & Tiote need to start dominate in midfield. Thats what I would do next game.

Hull and Cardiff will stay up in my opinion. For the players we have we should be nowhere near the bottom but I suspect we will flirt with relegation most of the season.

I think Liverpool have a chance of cracking the top 4 this year. They could do with another decent midfielder to shift Henderson out of team. No europe will help as well.

Ive never seen a fullback get skinned with ease and as as often as Debuchy. He seriously needs to get a grip.

Get well soon mate.

Well. Anyone watch the finale? Pales into shitness compared to Breaking Bad.

Top class TV

I quite like the article. They are damned if they do ask questions and damned if they don't.

3 clean sheets out of 3 since he went to CB. Decent.

+1

I had that on mute and enjoyed it. Do I need sound?

I thought Shola did really well when he came on. Debuchy was better than normal but still hasn't got to grips with the English league yet. Sammy was great but he can be frustrating. He needs to get cut out the basic errors. Someone that size should be more of a danger in the air as well. Good was Good.

Seems like a genuinely nice bloke.

Why would you put a transfer request in after an offer was accepted for you?

I was going to say I hope he takes Debuchy with him but then I realised we wouldn't replace him.

The sending off was stupid but I dont think you can single him out for the performance (up until that point). His fullbacks gave him & Colo all sorts of problems yesterday. In the second half (around 60 minutes) both our full backs were in the centre circle and Dzeko just pulled wide and it was 2 on 2. It was fucking embarrassing tactics if Pardiola told his full backs to play that high throughout. Pellegrinis teams all push really high. Complete opposite to Mancinis. We just played into their ends. We should have started off rigid and hard to break down. Having said that Man City look like they'll be immense this season.

Yeah. I don't think he did it unless he is covering his tracks !

Cisse was awful last night. Shola-esque. Sissoko started off ok then disappeared.

Hope.

Reminded me of Gullits team. Undisciplined and no heart. Early days but surely Pardews tactics couldnt have been that stupid. I sense massive unrest behind the scenes and the players didnt give 100% Debuchy looks awful. I didnt rate him much last season but thought he'd get used to the pace and power. He clearly hasn't yet. He gets skinned so easily.

I'd take £20m for him as well. However, that is under the proviso that its re-invested (which it wont be).

Horror movies are always going to split opinion. Sinister is the best I've seen for years I watched Oblivion and The Iceman recently. Oblivion - Not as bad as I was expecting. Ultimately a rip off of about 3 different movies but kept me entertained. The Iceman - Fantastic part played by Michael Shannon. Didnt quite hit any heights but interesting enough. Both 7/10
