Why should we do you any favors? If I recall you were cheering on Aguero to score a hat trick against us!!!
Stay strong Fady! Keep the faith.
Started throwing flares into the middle of the pitch. I thought it would take longer for things to resume after that but it didn't.
Perfect.
I think it was Willkiller who said that himself after he scored lol.
edit: here it is:
Late reply but hitting the post actually counts as an off-target attempt.
The wet grass, the bounce, the spin, I was thinking it had a chance to go in off the post. I don't know how you can claim an OG if it might or might not hit the post and might or might not bounce in off the post. But yea I knew that posts were not shots on target.

How long is Onyewu out for?
He tweeted the other night that he had resumed training and I think I saw him sitting in the stands. Chose to dress up in his gear instead of some casual wear. I hope we see him in the Taca de Portugal fully fit hopefully.
Our possession ended ridiculously low but whenever we had it, we managed to make use of it. Just unlucky in finishing and Arturo was a wall tonight.
I've never been to BBC live text. Must be good since you folks use it.

My mitake, thought Sterling was 19 for some reason
Turned 17 in December.
Oh funny!!!!Lose the game then
I think we will do Newcastle a favor just this once and beat Chelsea. Spurs are 1 more stuff up from being kicked out off the top 4. Just a few weeks ago they were title contenders....
Labium :lol
I know, he had a mare today. Responsible for both goals, totally bamboozled by Grant Holt every single time the ball came towards him and should have conceded a pen and been sent off. He is obviously past it now, it's amazing how quickly the decline has happened. From MVP in January to a complete liability. This is what happens when you haven't trained for 3 years, talent can only carry you for so long. The days where he could come in after being out for months and be the best player on the pitch are over.
I didn't see this Kaboul kick but I hear he was lucky as well.
The implosions from City and Spurs has been hilarious.
Can't stop laughing at Spurs watching this. Norwich should have gotten at least one penalty.

Just saw the Sporting-Benfica replays, that was a clear penalty. However, the one over Gaitan was even clearer...
Still seems that overall Sporting had ALOT more chances.

To think we were 20 points ahead of you at one stage...it really is a spectacular bottle job, even by our standards.

Depends if Bent is fit
Rooney, Sturridge & Welback are definites, although Rooney is the only one I'd feel comfortable with in such important matches

Welbeck can't even shoot. He gets in good positions but his finishing really let's him down. Every United game we see Lolbeck posted on here.
They'll probably only be 30 seconds of highlights from the first half. lol.
Yeah I never saw it coming tbh.

Is there anyone better, assuiming that you want 4 strikers at the Euros?
Also, Holt comes with a few drawbacks. He may well, through no fault of his own, cause the team to play the longball too often. Also, I think he'd struggle to get a decent scoring opportunity against a properly tight team, which there'll be many of, both in and after (hopefully) our group
That said (and I'm fairly sure he'll come good in that respect), he is a beast in build-up play and he's really very cunning and industrious at picking the ball back up before it even gets to their midfield.
The finishing is the most important thing, but everything else is up to international scratch.
