OTF

Surely his poor form can't last forever...

Ben Arfa: I know you know what I'm going to do....but I just did it anyway and you couldn't stop me.

Ben Arfa Gouffan alert and composed with the finish. Now lets kill their enthusiasm.

Shocking attempt at a tackle from Debuchy. We really should have slowed the game down earlier in the half.

Sissoko lost him completely

Poor from Krul yes, but worse that Benteke was effectively unmarked.

Reasonable sub here.

We needed a poacher drifting in behind there. Think we need to reestablish a foothold with some possession.

That's a disturbing combination of statements.

Phew!

Delph already trying it on. The fake incredulity at the text book yellow carding

You beauty!!! Excellent lead up from Remy, easy finish for Hatem. We deserve this lead.

Colo. Love.

Most certainly is. Very much enjoying this so far. Even though we've not done anything particularly impressive there's a confidence about the team that's been missing for some time.

And has to be said it's fucking refreshing to see a positive attacking outlook from the get go away from home.

Remy again looks sharp with quick feet.

Reasonable tackle by Debuchy against a faster man in Agbonlahor. Reasonable start by us so far though I'd like to see Santon and Debuchy get more involved in playing the ball out from the back.

BOO.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little moist seeing that first 11 - though I am currently consuming a beverage so that may have something to do with it.

It's odd here, the last two times I have upgraded my phone by committing to a 2 year contract purchasing an iPhone for me has been as cheap or cheaper than getting the equivalent Samsung (Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 at the time from memory). If I was to buy them outright I would be able to get the Samsungs a fair bit cheaper than the Apple's as the Samsung prices drop quite quickly. The build quality and aftermarket support of Apple is vastly superior and so made the decision easier. Since then though the Samsung feature set has seemingly advanced at a faster rate than Apple but the quality of the handsets (including the tactile 'quality') is still miles behind. I'd like to be able to have a crack at a Windows phone possibly simply for the fact that Android zealots are a little annoying not in part because they are generally poor at substanciating their superiority claims with real world examples. It should be an interesting price vs quality vs features analysis that ultimately decides it. There's at least one frequently used app that I can't get outside of IOS that could impact my decision if I'm still using it as heavily at that point in time.

Rooney standing over ball, with noone near him about to take a free-kick. Commentator: "...wouldn't be surprised to see Wayne Rooney stepping up to try to open his account today." Hope they're paying a pretty penny for such insightful analysis. He scored it (whilst competing with his own record for most ridiculous head adornment).

Probably are, just not bothering to launch it.

Shin splints can be from your running technique also, primarily over-pronation. If this is you, try concentrating on your uplift and not striking the ground with your heel (I that makes sense). For me having good arch support really makes a difference.

The S models are always incremental updates.

What's the cliff notes version of what you arrived at?
