Looks like it is just tiredness effecting Mata then! Isn't there a potential plan for the Premier League to allow a winter break being discussed? That would help us out a lot considering we don't rotate all that much compared to the likes of both Manchester teams.

Mata has looked rather average recently IMO compared to last season. Is this due to tiredness? Or simply because when Eden is on the pitch everyone else around him looks like toddlers? I can't put my finger on it. He was still one of our best players though.

Oh yeah, good points mentioned above - Without Lampard beside him, Mikel did indeed look a bit better than usual. In fact, our whole team looked better without Lampard and Terry. I love them both dearly, but we really need to start dropping them more often. (I'm aware Terry was out through injury.)

That penalty from Hazard was incredibly confident. Reminded me of CR7, Balotelli etc. (I'm not a fan of Balotelli personally. Just adding that in.) ANYWAY - It's amazing that Mr. Eden has been MOTM THREE times in a row. SURELY that's a record for a new signing in the Premier League?

So proud of our team. Of course people will probably say that Newcastle United had a fluke last season, but they're honestly a really great side. Cisse is LETHAL, and I'm surprised how limited he was today! I've had my doubts about Eden Hazard. I'm glad he's proving me wrong. I don't even need to see him against a 'top team' as I've seen him against Manchester City in the community shield. I'm satisfied with him. That's decided. THIS is supposed to be our transitional season, and if it keeps going like this, I'm going to be a very excited boy.

For fuck sake. Why not HAZARD?!

Why Luiz? Why not Hazard? So confused.

"They like Ramires here... but they love Mata." Excuse me commentator? DO I!? I'm pretty sure I love both players.

I keep questioning RDM's line-ups. He keeps proving me wrong. Hopefully we get the win today. It'll pretty much force me to put a lot more faith into our manager.

So we're now playing deep again. How long until they score?

What a fucking finish. And yet another fucking Hazard assist. Fuck. Just fuck.

I'm sorry, but see how much more chemistry and forward movement there is without the 'leadership' of Lampard and Terry in the side? Just food for thought.

Newcastle United fans are cunts tbh. No need for vulgar chanting.

Please leave this club Mikel.

Already doing well!

Yay. I love Belgians on here

Duff is simply the greatest player of all time IMHO.

Just took a piss.

I agree with every word. I have no doubt he's good enough to be a coach for us. His skills as a defender with us were often underrated by most fans it would seem. I'm sure he'd improve the game of up-and-coming right-backs or new arrivals. Also, as mentioned, he's a very good translator. Would love for him to take up a coaching role.

How can anyone say that Mikel is better than M'Vila, Biglia or Capoue?

I'm glad we've been going for handsome players recently. It'll intimidate the likes of Wayne Rooney and Tevez on the pitch and hopefully make them crumble to their knees out of pure envy. Eden Hazard is a stud. Marko Marin looks like one of those French male walk models. Oscar looks like the 'cute guy down the street'. Cesar here looks like 'that popular guy in school everyone wants to be with'. Good work.

I really don't understand the pronunciation problem with his surname. Are people on a bandwagon and joking about it now to get rep? idk. Seems really simple. Not trying to be a dickhead, but yeah. Sound it out slowly. Break it into parts - Azpil-icu-eta. Repeat after me - Azpil-icu-eta. Azpilicueta.

Look up the definition of awareness.

HAHAHA. SUCK ON THAT BORINI.
