Haha nice title

ORLY??

he could have looked up before crossing...

OR... had Cuco looked up before firing the ball across the box he'd have seen the pair of them in space by the penalty spot.

What list of names are appearing on twitter?

This seems to sit in a bit of a grey area... probably not enough to sack him for breach of contract and Black doesn't have enough to sue the DT. We'll probably have to "sack" Black if you count sacking him means paying off his contract and asking him to leave. In isolation, the recording of Black seems fairly harmless. As it's part of the DT's corruption in football investigations it's now at lot worse than it in reality is.

IMO that's about as naive as it comes.

Prove nothing then. Given that we sell on proven Premier League with potential still to improve, taking into account City paid £50m for Stones and the dearth of quality, young centre backs - what would you say Virgil's current market price is?

wow - that would take some proving and you appear to be very well connected.... or everything you say may not be the case.

You really should just accept Dusan for what he is and not expect greatness. He's been very effective for us all the time he's been here.

Well someone is going to be on the end of a smashing from us, it's brewing..

A crude way to judge progress would be to ask yourself would we batter Sunderland if we played them on Sunday?

Erm.... are you saying Watford and Sunderland weren't awful? And where do Arsenal fit within the "half-decent" teams? We're clearly progressing, we're not the finished article but bit by bit we are getting there.

Agreed Dutchie. He's benefiting from his first season in the EPL which many players need. He suits the systems that Puel plays more so than Ron K used to as well.

So.... from this thread, of sorts, we can: Play the following formations: 4-2-3-1 4-4-2 with the diamond midfield 4-3-3 We have a "goalscorer" who we can deploy as and when our manager sees fit and we should see his match fitness improve. Long and Redmond are not Aguero but their contribution is significant, we know what Long will give us and there is an expectation of improvement from Redmond. We are still to see our record signing - let's not try and write him off too soon... Our back 4 picks itself, with suitable full back options. No question marks over our keeper and his cover is decent. We've won 2 matches in 3 days and conceded no goals. I'd say we are in bloody good place, the future looks good.

We will batter them

Be off with your facts and things... go!

I hope his run of ineffectiveness continues.

Ahhh... the classic "I hope I'm wrong.." after slagging a player off.

Petulance for you, standing his ground for me... think you need to get off his case and accept him for what he is.

Going to adjust my thoughts on the Swansea game... We're going to smash em, I can feel it brewing. Play the kids against Palace and smash them too!

Yeah, what we need to do is change the formation now that it appears to be clicking into place.

Hard to criticise Charlie on his positioning last night, I thought he worked well with Long and Tadic.

I thought Long had an excellent game, things didn't always go his way but he kept plugging away and caused the Sparta defence a headache all night, deserved a goal. Not many defenders in the premier league or Europa will fancy facing up to Austin and Long.
