That was close from Oscar.

Number 2 for a forward?

OH SHIT

Is that Oscar? Yes, it is. Hehe.

Bertrand is fancier than I thought.

Whoa, nice move by Bertrand. Thought it was Hazard for a moment.

Shaun Maloney looks like a kid.

Okay, Moses. We get it. Please stop it.

LOLWTF

Goddammit ref. No consistency.

How is that not a foul? Should have been a penalty or at least a free kick.

This is way too good...

OH MY FUCKING GOD HAZARD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MMMMMMWAAAAAA MMMMMMMMWAAAAAAAHHHHHH

IVANOVICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC What a play by HAZARD

On a bright note, Bertrand's starting could mean that di Matteo has realized that Malouda has absolutely nothing to offer to the club, unless he's unavailable today of course.

What the hell? Bertrand on the wing again? That's really odd considering how many options we have on the flanks. This is probably a good indication that we'll be playing a balanced approach for the most part of this season.

I think he means we don't need a whole lot of creativity in our double pivot although I'd say we need someone who can ensure our transition from the double pivot to the front four is smooth. Anyway, at the moment, the double pivot isn't providing any cover for our back four nor is it doing a good job with retaining the ball, so I kind of agree with him.

Yes, unfortunately.

I agree we were too caught up with acquiring new attacking midfielders when we needed a new player in the pivot, but it really has been a wonderful transfer window for us so far, and I expect to see a huge improvement from last season. And although it seems like our midfield hasn't improved much, but at least we now have many more options there given by Lampard, Mikel, Ramires (as he probably won't spend much more time on the wing), Meireles, Essien (looking fit), Oscar, Romeu (possibly a better player from last year) and maybe even McEachran. I'm pretty sure we'll find a working combination with the players we have right now.

I have a real good feeling about this QPR side this season.

I spent five hours trying to get some sleep and got nothing, so I was like screw this I don't need to sleep, and I'm feeling pretty sleepy, and it's only 7 a.m. And I have a busy day today.

To be honest, I don't think this deal will make a whole lot of difference. Arsenal ship out their key players every year and still manage because other players usually step up their game (so they can be shipped out next), and from United's perspective, good addition, but I doubt he'll be a special player there.

Are you a machine? This is unheard of.

No, they should be pretty pissed. This is pretty much second to the worst scenario possible. They could have either kept him or gotten so much more money for him until AVB decided to screw up everything, and now they have no Modric, less money, and they're going to have a hard time trying to purchase Moutinho because Porto is a very smart club.
