im 23 and everyone thinks im 18 in Philippines. Dont know if thats good or bad.

Im confused why he thinks sherwood doesnt know what players can play in what formation? who hasnt played in their natural position? (only sanchez that i can remember, and that was a cup game at cb where theres a pretty logical connection between the two positions). Hes not exactly playing gana left wing, CM then striker to see what position he might be best in. btw, The length of time you been a supporter doesnt give you any more right to criticise than a SHA fan.

To me its just nothing more than "banter". Dont care about rivalry in football. Dont even really dislike blues either tbf. (just 0 feelings towards them) This may be something to do with my brother taking me to watch all the games to the LC final when i was young. I hate liverpool/united way way more.

He'll play at Chelsea, and have the benefit of both learning from Terry and being able to keep an eye on him (not sure if he's got a missus) And the benefit of a third mansion house he could buy for his family. Sure that will be the biggest driving factor

I love MNF. but i loved it even more before JC joined. Could listen to GNev talk about football all day. I dont think JC is bad though. Still think hes miles better than the average pundit. I was going to watch MNF online, you guys saying henry is on it :S?

hahaha these write ups from those at the game compared to the people in the match thread is amazing. One point someone mentioned they felt sorry for the guys who went to watch the game lol

Im even fine with todays team selection. A lot of our players need fitness and this cup is so pointless to me. I doubt sherwood was thinking it wasnt going to open.

i do wonder what peoples expectations were after the first 3 games. How many points were you realistically thinking we were going to get with basically a whole new team? 3 points from 3 seem fine to me. 4 would have been perfect but palace are really good now and one mistake in defence changed that...

Of course it is. We made NINE changes and played Sanchez and Baker at centre half. Jesus Christ fellas, get a **** grip of yourselves. I don't know how you cope living like this. It worries me that I live in a world populated by people so easily angered. So it was a very intelligent decision to do that? Intelligent to play a cm at cb? Intelligent to disrespect notts county with a poor bench? Yeah ok let's get a grip we have looked so good thus far this season Did I say any of that? No. Have you taken any of that into account or the potential reasons behind that? No. I think we have looked "good" yes. Even if not, it's 4 bloody games in with a brand new XI that has been missing its creative talent. So yes, get a grip. Your telling us to get a grip and I've highlighted three vital idiotic things that Sherwood has done tonight. Furthermore Saturday against palace we were getting dominated destroyed in fact what did Sherwood do? Nothing absolutely nothing and and the time he decides to do a change palace score It's a worrying trend he makes bizarre and very stupid decisions which are costing us greatly Complains sherwood isnt doing anything. Complains when he does do something

i dont even think its that naive. Weve got a lot of new players and a lot of them need game time. And those who played weekend may not be 100% match fitness to be able to play three games in 1 week at this stage of the season. (i have no idea when players reach peak fitness throughout the season)

Wow just about saved too Well other than the fact it went in.... yeah i chuckled at this for a good few seconds

I hate to jump on the bandwagon but I really am worried for us this season. Lots of players that could take 12 months to 'gel' and watching us the last few games, we look like an average championship team. I have seen absolutely nothing positive that brings any confidence to me. But, I'm a pessimist by nature, and as people have said, it's early doors and they should be given more time to prove themselves, teams have started worse than us and had good seasons. Craig you have many valid points, we have not looked good at all this season and we looked crap end of last season. We lost three games in a row (let's not forget we conceded 11 goals) Sherwood put a very stupid and weak bench with no options to change it and now look again we are the laughing rock of the league Really pissed off the club is just a joke now i remembered why i stopped reading Match day threads

sums it up for me.

hehe this is funny.

I really dont know why but i find it really strange how often parents are involved in transfers between adult football players. I could never imagine taking my mum to dinner with me to talk to my manager.

Wouldnt surprise me if its from neymar side and theyre leaking stuff for a new contract given how elite hes become (similar to ramos)

Posting because i know it annoys some people. (its ignoring the legit goal)

i am AMAZED that people who are bashing westwood for all this "not doing enough" is not bashing gana aswell lol.

its all very easy saying "arsenal need another striker" but who exactly can they buy. There is a serious lack of strikers available. (please dont say benteke...he would not have made difference today) Taking giroud off for walcott was pretty lolwtf given how deep plop was getting. Find ozil out the team. ! eh?.

If it wasn't that clear cut then you've just summed up my point, that's watched by a video ref and you get a decision, it's watched by a different video ref and you get a different decision, if that's the case then what's the point? The best example for me would be the Suarez dive vs us 2 years a go, that was about a 70/30 split in the media, MOTD was convinced it was a foul, lineker was an absolute dick about it, his opinion doesn't make it right I'm of the opinion that you can only use technology if it can establish fact, I've got no problem using it for mistaken identity You can let the linos actually do something (how many times per game will you see a Lino look at the ref before giving a decision despite bring a lot closer?) you can have the guy behind the goal if he's allowed to actually do something, you can let the 4th official actually do something, retrospective punishment for cheats has to be done too IMO The fact it isnt clear cut is EXACTLY why its needed. Variance in the league is huge. 38 games in not enough. Anything to reduce variance as much as possible to determine who the best team is much needed. Ill be amazed if "decisions equal out" for every team over a 38 game sample size. (i actually want to see what the results are for that from a legit source, in regards to offside). There is no ifs or maybes about offside. Either a player is offside or it isnt due to the laws of the game. Ive posted in a previous thread about how other decisions need much work for technology to be introduced but offsides is literally a yes or no and it takes about 2 seconds to clear it up (you can do it whilst the team is celebrating a goal) dont think im talking about every "maybe" decision like you have done in your post (for some reason you talked about saurez?). the fact that liverpool has had two decisions go in their way (a mistake in a goal both offside, when its 0-0 is HUGE in the actual game) shows the table would already be different. Sorry but its just not acceptable. Its a multi-billion industry. Not good enough. Theres a post up there which is saying "arsenal is not good enough". But they scored a legit goal in the game where no teams has not scored. If the decision was correctly called, would people be saying that? (fwiw, that post saying "cech , first point they won them" is laughable. imo, totally ignoring the incorrect goal decision it seems)

ok stefan. some things hes doing is lolbad. (chambers)

hes 20 lol. C'mon. So many years for a CB to develop. Hes so young for that position

you think that was clear cut? really? are you trying to be the lino in his shoes? no way was that "clear cut" it was so close. His body was offisde but his legs wasnt. You have to look at the player kicking the ball, and quickly look at player receiving. No way is that clear cut for a lino and they need help. Im sick of wrong decisions being made constantly. Football means ALOT for people. 38 games is not enough to decide who the best team is . Make variance less.(technology)...and we get closer to see who the true position of teams in the league at the end of it.

Tbf with the midfield 3 they do kind of need to play semi-direct

Another decision which would have been sorted out with 1 second technology Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. its getting boring
