Letting Haidara and Mbiwa go without handing them a proper chance would be just stupid. Especially when that leaves the likes of Williamson and Dummett behind. How many players is that we need now, just to make the squad remotely competitive? Even 4 or 5 just wont cut it now.

Great player for us. We were such a well balanced team with him, Shearer, Dyer(when he played), Nobby etc.

Happy birthday! All the best

Bend over? Im pretty sure he just chops their balls off.

Read dominate as progressing into the second round

I meant the type of players we're in for We're not going to be signing Barkley, Lallana or Shaw are we?

Really hope this is the press just stirring shite. All this nonsense with getting English players. They're all fucking shite ffs. At least we've had the sense of not doing this in the past. From Grenier and Cabella to Bent, Noble and Colback Then again those are about the level of players that match Pardew and our ambition so it makes perfect business sense.

Bloody hell. Footballers man

Noble? He's very average imo. An improvement on Gosling but thats not really saying something now is it.

Was waiting for someone to say that

Sounds like another Gouffran. Jack of all trades, master of none. After being Pardewed as anyway

Just made me a tincy wincy bit proud, having a player in there. Shows you how much else we've got to bang on about

That statistical XI is based on individual stats as Andrew has pointed out. Doesnt necessarily mean they're the best players in those positions. Gerrard or Pogba in front of Toure or Koke/Gabi for instance? Its just one way of looking at things. You could make a dozen different European XIs based on varying criteria.

It would be very interesting to see how Zabaleta and Coleman perform in our defence.

So we DID actually offer him a new deal? Bloody hell...

The intensity was insane, felt like the Arsenal Hull game was being telecast in slow motion when I switched over to it.

Well this should be a right kick up the arse for them to get it now.

Absolute bollocks, should have stood. I Just cant stand Bayern for some reason......

They must have a really poor research department as well.

Aaaaand Bayern score on the counter of course

FFS! So close Rues in extra time of injury time

Damn this, Dortmund just can seem to catch a break.
