Sir Mikel OBE

Disappointed to see him subbed at halftime. Don't see him starting this weekend.

Apparently he was a big deal in Germany last season.

Bitter gunners booing willian coming on

Coutinho mercifully off.

Oscar on the bench Grinning.

Turkey look very good against netherlands

Didnt Di maria and Ozil shine?

A standard willian game where he almost equaled his total assists for the league in one match? Not standard at all.

So the cricket thread is going to be gold this weekend?

Willian and Oscar start for Brazil today....behind a striker who plays in China Oh dear how the mighty have fallen

I am very impressed with him giving encouragement to Zouma too after his goal. Zouma, as a youngster, had to be feeling down about being dropped for Cahill after playing so well. Great attitude to show the kid.

Bale was shit today.

And Marcelo is still 26. Even Dunga, who criticized him heavily, has brought him back into the national team.

Training exercise football there.

Harder to look impressive against modric and Kroos than it is against Milner and Kolarov.

I mean on the real/atletico front. No way they are in the finals last year if he isn't there. Courtois/Costa/Luis might be champions league winners right now On our front his influence might have turned the tide in the league race last season. We still needed a striker though.

I wonder how different the world would be now if Levy would have just given us Modric.

Not this season.

Marcelo, by far, the best Brazilian out there. Marcelo is probably my favorite brazilian player out of all right now.

REMYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Costa done his hammy.

Remy sighting.

Need to shut up shop.

Courtois three savesss

Yes we did.
