Slam Dunk

Lovely one-two, that. Seems odd that all we had to do was press them high up the pitch to make the goal though.

Couldn't quite tell if he was bullied by Rondon, or he was expecting Cech to help out. Last thing we needed was to give them hope.

That goalkeeping.

This pitch is fucking ridiculous.

Dear Adidas, When was the last time anyone bought anything without seeing it? Sincerely, Logic.

That is an awesome campaign, but allowing preorders before revealing it?

That has to be fake... the quality is shocking!

Can't complain... He's a good addition to an area in which need a bit more depth. Haven't seen much of him this year, but I remember him being technically very good with a tendency to shoot on site. Interested to see how he adapts to the PL if he does indeed sign. Disappointed that we won't see De Bruyne back here next season, but as The only place to be said, Schurrle and De Bruyne are different players, there's no reason why both can't make it here.

If you want to try predicting the league standings come the 19th May... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm For what it's worth, i'm not confident in a top four finish.

Anyone else think it wasn't that great?

If we want to progress in this competition, we really need to do the job on Thursday so I can see Benitez picking a strong team. I genuinely can't see us beating them away from home and am expecting a tight contest in both fixtures.

I don't like the fact that that is a straight red nowadays.

That Spain kit is so ugly (imo)... Looks like they're wearing medals round their necks.

Can't argue against Southampton deserving the win. Awful performance from us.

Benayoun. Terrific.

Come on Benitez, make it two for two and bring on Ramires for Lampard.

Most sensical sub i've ever seen Benitez make.

Great save.

Southampton's pressing game is very impressive.

Really like that. Red on the inside of the sleeve is a nice touch. Shame it'll hardly be worn as white away kits are a bit pointless and we'll no doubt have a black third kit.

Englands XI for tonight is laughable. A starting lineup that includes Lescott, Smalling, Cleverley and Milner isn't going to strike fear into the heart of anyone.

Can we not just have a quiet week off?

Some of those pairings are just ridiculous.

Tempted to mute this...

Credit to those Steaua fans. Great support.
