10/10 penalties. Not a bad record at all. Does it make him the greatest penalty taker the world has ever seen?

My nana calls him Yanga-Mambo, or Yanga-Umbongo. Is casual racism inherent in all 90 years old grandmas?

Most rational football club owners won't just put money in without any chance of return. Chelsea and Man City's owners treat their clubs like playthings. The sooner clubs are forced to live within their means, the better.

Suarez is a horrible bastard.

Roux,

Arsenal, like us, have no chance of competing with the likes of Man Utd (massive commercial income), Chelsea and Man City (both bankrolled).

The French work the least hours in Europe, but are more productive, per person, than the vast majority. Work smart, not hard!

Composure personified. Impressive.

Back four was solid, although there were some moments of atrocious defending from Simpson, getting dragged into the centre and generally being a poor footballer with a poor touch. He has just come back from "injury" though, so we'll let him off this time. Marveaux had yet another chance to show us what he could do and failed miserably. Anita was outbossed by their midfielders and struggled to make any real impact. Other positives were Sissoko looking extremely sharp and interested and Shola's experience showing through. Whenever the pressure was on, he bought us time. He took some knocks up there and coped well. Cabaye has had better games and again ran out of steam after an hour or so, but perhaps he has one eye on Sunday's game. Looked bloody cold out there - does anyone know what the temperature was?

MY thoughts too. Brilliant!

Hmm, I'm sure there was a post there before...

What has he done wrong in this match? Explain. Explain how Shola is holding us back.

Aye, she looks like she could do with fattening up.

Ah bollocks man, he's doing a decent job up there. Open your eyes and think for yourself for once.

If I'm making a curry, I quite often use garlic paste. The vinegary flavour complements the curry quite nicely so it's not intrusive.

It's just mean warm. Make it 5-10 minutes before you need it and it'll be fine.

I used to sit in the 4th row of the Leazes. I moved because the view of the other side of the pitch was non-existent and because my knees didn't fit behind the chair in front. Comfort played a big part in my decision. If the entire stadium was like that, I'd have a decision to make.

Noted. An Italian lad I went to uni with used to eat several cloves of raw garlic every day. His breath was absolutely appalling.

Done.

Busquets is shite

Aye, and halftime in her gob n'all.

What's so special about this garlic press? Is it just a normal garlic press?

I'll do wor lass up the arse.

Really interesting stats there. I also agree with your reading of them - the link with a more direct style of play is quite likely.

Well I bet he learned it in the womb, doing keepups with the slack on the umbilical cord.
