From the day they appointed him really, was never good enough for the job. Garry Monk next perhaps ??

No luck with strikers then, I read that they're trying to sign Cavani from PSG, can't make out what that's all about, lot of money for a bit part striker.

The Canal + resident ref commentator made the point that a foul is still a foul even if it's not intentional, now whether that's the standard in the PL or not I'm not sure but Targett did cause Fabregas to fall over and thus it was a penalty elsewhere but perhaps not in the PL. We've had bad decisions as well, there was an incident where Terry ( I think) wrestled our chap to the ground (at a corner, might have been Fonte) and we got nothing so the bad decisions in this game evened up at least.

I wish we stilll had Lallana, not convinced at all by Tadic myself really.

RTT...recuperation temps de travail, the 35 hr week is standard in France but no-one actually does 35 hrs cos it's impossible so they recover time by taking days off at will, usually to prolonge holidays or join 2 public holidays. DDE Direction Departemental de L'Equipment, responsible for roads etc. Never seen an orange van with 5 blokes hanging round it watching a 6th bloke working (usually a spotty youth on work experience) ?

Last season, cut wage/turnover ratio to 55 or so %, increased turnover, made money, still want to sell 20% of the club for around 80 million to reduce debt, most of which is to Gold + Sullivan.

And yet PG Wodehouse used the word to describe upper class,male, hunting,shooting,fishing types; usually of fairly little brain.

that's what the papers say perhaps

I think ART is convinced that Morgan swings the lead or gets suspended to avoid playing against Arsenal. It's just not true, he will never sign for them so why would he do that? Arsenal are always looking at everybody but are stingy and will never pay the asking price. They caught a grade A cold with Ozil and won't spend big again for a fair while.

Ah yes the absolute fark up caused by RTT at the DDE.

I expect so yes, we all know what Essruu does.

Not according to some erudite person or other on the Clyne injury thread. Then again who knows who knows what.

Absolutely, we need to rely on the experience of Toby,Maya and José to negate Chelsea's attacking threat, tbh it's not really a game to chuck McCarthy and Targett to the lions in. Hazard and Oscar will destroy them and leave them as quivering heaps of jelly. Let them play with 3 experience CBs at their side, give the lads a chance. If you'd seen what they did to Jenkinson and Cresswell yesterday no one would go for 4 at the back.

NHS waiting list ?:rolleyes:

Of course we haven't, we just needed to take our chances against Arsenal and Utd and we'd have more points than we have actuellement and they'd have less. Not taking your chances when they arrive can't be "playing as well as we possibly can". Utd were shîte against us and against Arsenal, they should have lost both games, they put the rare chances that they had away in both cases and are 6 points better off than they really should be. On just that front there's plenty of room for improvement already, notably Pelle.

We've lost against them once, we still have another shot at them, mostly at home this time, the key to the top 6 for us are the Arsenal and Spurs games, Still think we can do it myself but for that we'll be needing to have no more illusions about 'Cup Glory' and days out at Wembley.

Ah there I don't know, Shaw for example strikes me as a bit of an epsilon when he opens his trap.

Toby is the lynchpin of the system as sweeper, who plays as wingback depends on who you have available, in fact it's the ideal system if you're forced to play one or even two neophyte wing backs, takes away a lot of defensive responsibility from them. By the by we're playing 5-3-2 not 3-5-2, subtle difference.

don't know why anyone would think that we'll change formation really, especially as we don't have Bertrand and perhaps not even Clyne. 5-3-2 with whoever isn't available replaced by the young players.

There you go, the ultimate post match reaction I suppose.

T'was a silly appointment in the first place, can't see what they possibly hoped to achieve with Warnock. Might fancy getting Sherwood before Brighton I suppose hence haste.

And he should have told whoever arranges these things to knock off the shît weather, difficult day for keepers really, probably why Hart missed the cross for Albion's late goal and Toby got a free header. All that said I think we may well need to look at Victor's ability at corners when handing out the marking roles, he lost RvP a few weeks back and he lost Dann yesterday.

In fact Mané is just what we need, watched them yesterday and Valencia had Ivanovic all over the place, true that West Ham couldn't capitalise on it but it's definitely exploitable. That said Mané in fact looked much better on the right yesterday than he has on the left. I think though that we may need to detail someone to take one for the team and kick Hazard up in the air in an effective but discreet manner the first time he touches the ball because well, he's going to take Targett or McCarthy apart. Think we might go for 5 at the back again, that would help us with our inexperienced full back problems perhaps. Might be Maya's last game for us for a while as well, think he has to go before the Arsenal game.

We have had this discussion many times, it"s in the last 6 months for overseas clubs and after the end of the season for other UK clubs. Unless something has changed recently of course, got my doubts now, perhaps Irene could fill us in here, I mean she must know right ?

L'Equipe say a lot of things on this subject..most of it seems unreliable. Kind of rare for them.
