Ah I see... I hadn't heard much of Merida before. He's having a good game.


WOW those were some smooth attacking moves there :barscarf:

Did you see Eboue in that shirt at the end when all the others had their red ones on? :evil:

And RVP munching on his sarnie....... 8)

Is it just me or did the players not seem too interested in this trophy presentation?

(Mickey Mouse or not, we should make the most of it, it might be all we get!) :roll: :cry:

Eboue, even though in the Gers shirt :evil: he did make me laugh with his dances with the trophy. he was the only one who seemed to care. He was also out early before the first game signing autographs for people round in block 2, he is the only one who made any effort. Well done Eboue!! shame about your shooting though still :lol:

We all have to be careful about heaping too much pressure on the boy but jesus wilshire is going to be absolute class 8) :barscarf: Did you hear the pillock from sky interviewing him afterwards and asking him if he knew that capello was at the game ? :roll: FFS give the kid a chance to make it into our team before you start lauding him up for the engerland senior team :x :banghead:

As hard as this may seem I really thought that silvestre was worse today than last season :roll: Hot knife through butter springs to mind :oops: How about almunia defending the corner into his 6 yard box when he boxed it straight down to a rangers guy and only merida was on the line to block the shot he would have lost his clean sheet. I know that he did ok but I really cannot see traore ahead of either clichy or gibbs in the pecking order and if so is there any point in keeping 3 left backs ??

On the plus side I thought that merida did well, arshavin looked class as usual but for me eduardo gave rvp an exibition on how to play the lone striker role and his finishing was deadly as usual :barscarf: Oh and case I forgot wilshire is going to be different class :lol:
