Milner coming on for City, definitely shutting up shop here. Watch them get another 2 once hes on

Aarons coming on soon, presume for Gouffran? edit: Yep

Happy with that from Pardew considering who we have available right now, going more attacking, more like the system I'd hope to see when we have De Jong and Tiote available. Hope to see that throughout the season. Gouffran not looking happy there.

Anita coming off for Obertan, no change at left back so far this season.

Its an important quality, ref in the Arsenal game yesterday managed to spray half his can on Cazorlas face

Dumment should've scored then I think, got a good head to it. Colbacks devliery is good when hes whipping them in not floating them to williamson. Nasri over the line in the wall, why have the spray if players can just wander over it?

Very neat work by the ref with the invisible spray there

Does Sissoko prefer to play wide or in the middle? Commentator claiming he prefers the wide role which I've always thought he was willing to do but didnt prefer.

City dont deserve that, can't switch off against opponents this good though

If we're getting wide and putting crosses in we've got to get more in the box than rivière, if sissoko is the man breaking from the midfield 3 he needs to be there.

Why's krul in the change keeper kit?

Despite everything else about us at the moment, aye it is.

Plenty of running power in sissoko, gouffran, cabella and rivière,hopefully well be able to counter attack well since city will surely have most of the ball

Dummet starts, haidara on the bench ffs

assuming our support is the only support that voted...

To expand on CTs typically informative post, twitter is going slightly berserk with reports that we've had a 4.2 million bid for Micah Richards accepted

It is, its just that the owners aims and the fans hopes do not line up.

that first one was actually the conclusion to an episode of csi once

Sandro, dembele, chiriches and soldado would all be good for us if the money was right imo. We don't really need the two CMs though sandro would be good competition for tiote which we don't have so much despite having a few other CMs. Soldado would be too expensive since hey spent a fortune on him but a season of PL experience will see him do better this year. Chiriches is the most realistic one I think and would be a good addition to our ridiculously weak looking central defence.

There's a few there I'd definitely have tbh

So whats the plan for the season? Don't clubs get fined for not meeting the press after matches as its part of the leagues various media coverage deals?

Yep
