Good to see Ferguson on the pitch with the first team, though it was a bit odd the way Colo had to lead him around...

Both immense, but I agree the Blackburn one was something else...

It's a pretty easy start, man city aside.

Business slow?

Think you've missed the point there Moog.

As I've not been looking I've not played with much outside of the Apple and Samsung wheelhouses. I'll check them out when the time comes this go around. I've heard some worrying things about the batteries on the Sonys, however there's every chance that it's only isolated to certain models. What are your thoughts on latest gen Nokia?

A little worrying that Sissoko was the one marking by far their biggest threat. If I'm honest Colo has never imposed himself as a good set piece defender, hopefully M'Biwa can improve us in that area.

Blatant penalty not given there confirmed by the replay. Shocking officiating to miss that.

Surely his poor form can't last forever...

Ben Arfa: I know you know what I'm going to do....but I just did it anyway and you couldn't stop me.

Ben Arfa Gouffan alert and composed with the finish. Now lets kill their enthusiasm.

Shocking attempt at a tackle from Debuchy. We really should have slowed the game down earlier in the half.

Sissoko lost him completely

Poor from Krul yes, but worse that Benteke was effectively unmarked.

Reasonable sub here.

We needed a poacher drifting in behind there. Think we need to reestablish a foothold with some possession.

That's a disturbing combination of statements.

Phew!

Delph already trying it on. The fake incredulity at the text book yellow carding

You beauty!!! Excellent lead up from Remy, easy finish for Hatem. We deserve this lead.

Colo. Love.

Most certainly is. Very much enjoying this so far. Even though we've not done anything particularly impressive there's a confidence about the team that's been missing for some time.

And has to be said it's fucking refreshing to see a positive attacking outlook from the get go away from home.

Remy again looks sharp with quick feet.

Reasonable tackle by Debuchy against a faster man in Agbonlahor. Reasonable start by us so far though I'd like to see Santon and Debuchy get more involved in playing the ball out from the back.
