It’s the whole playing in black, I reckon. Proper mongrel, like the rugby team, rather than the usual bunch of middle class white lads who play soccer in NZ.

Peter Vincenti - Rochdale
Micheal Doyle - Portsmouth
Liam O’ Brien - Portsmouth
Liam Kelly - Leyton Orient
Rod McDonald - Northampton
Marc McNulty - Sheffield United
Dominic Hyam - Reading

Also my US-Mexican dodgy stream was hilarious. Talked about the Mexican coach’s development, “learning from all the great coaches: Jose Mourinho, Massimiliano Allegri, **Sam Allardyce…**but his hero was Bielsa. When he goes out running he doesn’t listen to music, but to recordings of Bielsa’s press conferences”.

Constantly referring to the Kiwi striker as either ‘Captain Wood’ or “Christopher Grant Wood” (which OK is his name but…).

The fact that after review there were no reds was laughable!

Well, yes - there is that too.

The Kiwi bloke’s two footed lunge was quite something!

Ben Brereton just signed a 4 year deal. He’s up there with any of the excellent academy graduates we’ve had over the last 10-15 years. Won apprentice of the year and is surely going to be a full international. I’d be shocked if we keep him past the next couple of windows, but at least we should get a decent fee for him. He’s actually only been with Forest for a couple of years, he was released by Stoke. They must be kicking themselves!

That was hilarious! I was braced for at least two reds and a rake of yellow. Was kind of disappointed when that didn’t transpire.

I was watching with the sound off (my Spanish skills are terrible and we’ve got a new born) but it seemed to me that the Mexican players were demanding he go to the replay. Looked a complete shambles!

“Yeah. It’s bad isn’t it?”

Money well spent.

Fucking hell. Couldn’t they even find an Arsenal font to put it in?

… THE biggest embarrassment

This is now my 5th most popular post ever or something.

I remember the papers trying to flog him to City for 30 million a couple of years back. Can’t decide if that would have been better or worse than buying Delph for the oilball equivalent of some change we found down the back of the sofa.

Plus it would pick up players calling the ref a f***ing c***, which wouldn’t really be suitable for a live Saturday teatime game.

He’s certainly no Moussa Sissoko

Can someone who pretends to watch the Dutch league provide the lowdown on Frank De Boers suitability for the Palace job please?

He’s not that bad!

I honestly can’t wait for robot wars to completely lose his nut over this next World Cup.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FOOLPROOF SYSTEM

Which one?

Either way, yeah, he is.
