A Gutierrez cross nets a goal! Deserved.

Fucking Riviere

To me it looks like they've lifted their effort but are nervous. Some of the little passes have been off and the final touches in particular have been poor. Effort wise Jonas unsurprisingly looks the busiest, his touch is still a little rusty and his shooting as always is horrid. Sissoko has been haphazard, his passing in particular is ad though he's just returned from a month out. Janmaat looks the most composed. A Williamson error is on the cards.

They're queuing up to outdo each other in the ineffectual crossing stakes.

Looping gif of Mike Ashley asking to be made from that footage.

Riviere didn't miss kick that quite so badly enough enough to score. To be fair it was a difficult one.

That was an easy ball for Sissoko to Cisse there. Or at least should have been.

Did he do a little wink off to the side midway through?

Wish it was Janmaat who had the first shot there.

They're at least trying.

Nice bit of athleticism there.

Is there a video or transcript anywhere?

I'll be up watching, curious as to whether I'll actually care about the outcome.

You should try out some other hobbies Mako, you may find something you're good at.

Future captain Williamson is back for this. That should shore up our defense. I mean, he should be a beast at defending set pieces given he's 6`4 right? I wouldn't start Cisse, but I would get him involved not too long after the break. With our track record I think the best scenario for us winning will be to go into the break on level terms. If we go in ahead we'll not know what to do in the second half and if we go in behind we don't have the fire power to score two or more goals.

Go Australia.

Truth is he'll be our centre half whether or not we go down.

Jonas' heart, effort and likability with Ben Arfa's ability.

Given what we've seen of him so far if he tried it again he might get a clean shot off. Speaking of shot that should be the fate of whoever designed his boots - whenever he gets a look in he falls over.

Kicked the ball into his own standing leg and the deflection went in.

The Riv, what an ugly goal but may settle some nerves.

Williamson misses 2 because of a previous red card this season.

If Noelie only watches Newcastle it's easy to see how he could think a team getting twatted 6-0 didn't look too bad.

Tiger Woods is paying Mike to keep Carver off the PGA tour.

Day of wreckoning.
