Oh dear, Robben at it again

 

[miri]

Poor performance tonight, Drogba looked his age. Was really disappointed that Jose started him over Remy tbh. Hopefully they get a rocket up their arses before Sunday.

 

[Embattle]

First 10 minute or so was good as was the last 10 minutes but the rest was just too slow.

 

[Vladamir]

Thought the outcome would be that given how many chances we wasted in the first half.

Third year in a row we've failed to win our opener now, or fourth?

 

[caLLous]

So, who's out there atm? Please not Dave Jones again. lol

 

[CorNokZ]

Could easily have been given. Actually thought he was robbed a bit

 

[megadave]

That game reminded me of last season with our finishing. Draxler was great for Schalke, I was sat right by their fans and they were thoroughly entertaining too.

Where's a good place for highlights these days? Not just 30 second goal clips

 

[Moriath]

Tbh he seemed so out of his depth and very tactically naive. Seems like a nice guy, but you need more than that.

So, who's out there atm? Please not Dave Jones again. lol

Funny if the ex swans manager came in lol

 

[georgie]

I don't think the knuckle draggers would like that. Wouldn't bother me personally though.

I'm sure Tan will employ someone highly unsuitable.

Didn't do us too much harm the year we won it

Last night was a bit meh, and Drogba definitely looked his age, think Remy will start if Costa isn't fit from now on. Just got the impression it was one of those nights, hopefully should prevent us from getting too cocky going to City.

 

[Billargh]

Even Newcastle beat Shalke 3-0 away from home, you chavs must really suck!

 

[caLLous]

Well 2 of the 3 teams relegated from the Prem are at the bottom end of the table and have parted company with their managers. Magath going was definitely on the cards though after 1 point from 7 matches.

 

[megadave]

good to see an English team having a go in the EL, winner gets a CL spot don't they?

 

[Vladamir]

Yep so conceivably England could have 5 teams in the CL next year if Spurs or Everton won it - 4th place in the league doesn't get dumped out if they EL winners are outside the top 4.

 

[CorNokZ]

2-0 at home against Helsinki. Europa League is ours!

Yep, for Everton and Tottenham it's arguably easier to win the Europa than finish top 4 imo.

Your compatriots didn't have such a good time I see. Having a goalie sent off with no subs then quickly conceding five goals, that shit never happens in real life

Yes that is not how you win Europa league. They should learn from us!

 

[Ormorof]

So Euro 2020 final at Wembley

 

[Olgaline]

Yes that is not how you win Europa league. They should learn from us!

You won it when exactly?

 

[CorNokZ]

You won it when exactly?

Please quote me saying that we did?

Shawcross is such a nasty little twat. I really hope he breaks his own legs.

 

[caLLous]

The fans are singing a protest song but it's aimed at owner Mike Ashley, specifically his weight and dubious parentage.

 

[Turamber]

Goddamnit. If we keep defending like that there's no way we're winning the title.

 

[Embattle]

Newcastle not improving it seems, sounds like the fans are annoyed although not annoyed enough to do the only action that'll have an effect....not going to watch them play.

 

[Ch3tan]

Cisse saving the day

 

[Ormorof]

Shame to only draw after being 2 up but in perspective a point from an away game at Newcastle is not too shabby

 

[Raven]

Northampton town. Score 4 goals. Still lose. Yep, another one of those seasons.
