3 clean sheets out of 3 since he went to CB. Decent.

+1

I had that on mute and enjoyed it. Do I need sound?

I thought Shola did really well when he came on. Debuchy was better than normal but still hasn't got to grips with the English league yet. Sammy was great but he can be frustrating. He needs to get cut out the basic errors. Someone that size should be more of a danger in the air as well. Good was Good.

Seems like a genuinely nice bloke.

Why would you put a transfer request in after an offer was accepted for you?

I was going to say I hope he takes Debuchy with him but then I realised we wouldn't replace him.

The sending off was stupid but I dont think you can single him out for the performance (up until that point). His fullbacks gave him & Colo all sorts of problems yesterday. In the second half (around 60 minutes) both our full backs were in the centre circle and Dzeko just pulled wide and it was 2 on 2. It was fucking embarrassing tactics if Pardiola told his full backs to play that high throughout. Pellegrinis teams all push really high. Complete opposite to Mancinis. We just played into their ends. We should have started off rigid and hard to break down. Having said that Man City look like they'll be immense this season.

Yeah. I don't think he did it unless he is covering his tracks !

Cisse was awful last night. Shola-esque. Sissoko started off ok then disappeared.

Hope.

Reminded me of Gullits team. Undisciplined and no heart. Early days but surely Pardews tactics couldnt have been that stupid. I sense massive unrest behind the scenes and the players didnt give 100% Debuchy looks awful. I didnt rate him much last season but thought he'd get used to the pace and power. He clearly hasn't yet. He gets skinned so easily.

I'd take £20m for him as well. However, that is under the proviso that its re-invested (which it wont be).

Horror movies are always going to split opinion. Sinister is the best I've seen for years I watched Oblivion and The Iceman recently. Oblivion - Not as bad as I was expecting. Ultimately a rip off of about 3 different movies but kept me entertained. The Iceman - Fantastic part played by Michael Shannon. Didnt quite hit any heights but interesting enough. Both 7/10

Im sure an illegal immigrant will be straight on the phone!

So far this summer i've been upto Loch Ness then have just come back from Crete. Still could with another break!

There are few things to do in LA. You need a car though. Only downside of that is the traffic is horrific.

I went to see a pre-screening of Lone Ranger a few weeks ago. Its basically just Pirates of the Carribean in the Wild West. Depp plays Captain Jack with a different accent (bumbling, idiotic genius). It was 2.5hrs but I assume it'll be chopped on our audiences recommendation!

Man of Steel - 6.5 . Started well and i liked that they went more with the "he is an alien" angle. The last 1/4 of the movie is just boring. How many buildings can you get can you get thrown through????!!! I thought Cavill was good though. His direction was awful.

Its very odd that the club havent confirmed anything yet.

My mate just sent me this. Not sure if its accurate but sounds about right !! “I saw Alan as a player – he was a heck of a player – and we bumped into each other a couple of times when he was West Ham manager. “We always bump into each other at the Manager of the Year awards. “Last year I was at the awards when Alan won it. “I said ‘congratulations, but you have to get two more to catch me! Needless to say, Kinnear hasn't won the Manager of the Year award three times

Its a masterstroke from Big Mike!!! Now the anger will be directed at Jo-Ki rather than Pardiola.

A Good Day to Die Hard. Ridiculous action scenes in a movie with John McClane in it. Didnt feel like a Die Hard movie.

When I was a young lad and one of us missed a sitter/open goal everyone used to say you "did a Dillon".

Chelsea will be favourites next year for me.
