Slam Dunk

The ball is definitely moving slowly on the deck, yeah. We can't cope with the pressing at the minute, Ba can't do it all alone.

Sure that was foul on Azpi.

Tekkers Ivan.

Essien missing the team photo because he was talking to Muntari and Boateng.

"More than a game, more than a beer." So annoying.

These Fox Soccer guys are a bit in love with Balotelli, aren't they?

Luiz out with a thigh injury apparently. Let the conspiracies begin...

Boateng, Montolivo, Balotelli and El Shaarawy start for AC Milan. Should be a good game!

+1. As soon as I saw the lineup I thought our back line was there to be had. Ivanovic at CB doesn't fill me with confidence.

De Bruyne starting!!!!

That first touch.

+1. On paper, it looks awesome. Cech Azpilicueta - Luiz - Terry - Cole Ramires - van Ginkel Mata - De Bruyne - Hazard Lukaku

Surely he won't make any trouble until he has assurances from United/his agents etc. that they'd actually be able to negotiate a move away.

Big name for a club like West Brom. Shame he's been a bit shit in recent times though.

Moses, van Ginkel and Hazard all had a great game. Good performance on a awful pitch. Where are we playing the next game?

Yeah he's not won much so far. Inter defenders are handling him well in the air, and the pitch is too poor to play it in behind.

Softest yellow ever?

This pitch isn't up to much, is it?

That was a mile out.

£21m for Diego Costa?!?

Just switched it on in time to see the goal. Martinez must be the slowest CB ever. Edit: As I speak Pep's moved Martinez into CM before he does anymore damage.

Yeah, it was in the press over here the other day. Doubt this will be the source of the abuse this season, because compared to his dad, his mum's a saint.

He's playing one reserve game as a non-contract player in order to raise money for the club and for charity. Hardly the big deal that some are making it out to be.

KDB.

Schurrle & Lampard, apparently.
