Not to sound like an asshole, but I don't even feel bad for Cech - he's Arsenal's goalkeeper now so I find it quite funny! He was always going to have 1 or 2 games like this every season anyway, we know this. Cech flapping at corners and getting beat at his near post is not news to anyone here. 90% of the time he is top drawer and he will save Arsenal more points than he'll lose. That's why I'm totally fine with laughing right now!

So it was €20m, then it went up to €25m and now they've obviously seen Brana on his zimmer frame yesterday and decided to bump it up again to €30m. Great.

I'm starting to think like you that something must be going on in the background. Is it a situation of the board saying to Mourinho 'Hey, we bought you Fabregas and Costa last year. We're not doing investing like that again until 2016/17' or have we gone in for someone like Griezmann and we've been told to come back next year (like with Costa) and we're keeping our money for a bigger deal like that? I don't know. Maybe we're saving up for something special. At least that's what I would hope, because I do think we have at least SOME money to spend; especially when you look at the likes of City's spending because I'm not sure where they are legitimately getting the cash to spend that amount every window with FFP. We just signed one of the most expensive shirt deals in history for fuck sake, there must be a reason why we're keeping our hands in our pockets.

More like his arse was broken from the pounding Montero was giving him the entire game. Sometimes in games like today it becomes very clear that he's is just a very blunt instrument. Lots of power and not much in the brain department.

That's the problem though, I personally don't think we were ever in Europe's elite in the first place. Just look at the way we went out under Mourinho in the past two seasons - 1. playing Azpi on the wing at home and getting thoroughly outplayed by Atletico and 2. no heart or passion at home against PSG. And this season we were aiming to push on in Europe? Ha, not a chance. We would be doing very very well if we won the league this year, but we need at least one big signing to push on in Europe. No new additions always runs the risk of the team growing a bit stale and I don't want to believe that it is currently happening here, but I'm afraid to say I do. When you're on top you can't wait around for others to close the gap before investing.

For the board! Screw investing in the team, bonuses for the lads at the board! Hurray!
-
And I see your rage has made you ironically vote for Brana as MOTM!
-
Probably the most frustrating thing for me is that Iva had one of his worst games ever and was a liability throughout the entire game, but will he be dropped? Fuck no. The only way Brana is not getting picked is if he breaks his leg. Yet Mourinho only needs 10 mins to diagnose if a youth player can make it? Haha, go pull the other one.
-
Good first half. Clusterfuck of a second half.
-
WHY IS MATIC TAKING THAT
-
Oh fuck off Brana, stop jumping around like an idiot. Does he expect all day on the ball to take a shot??
-
Being bummed down the right side as usual. I honestly wonder how long a very big and slow defender will be given such free reign as a winger in the team...I mean, Iva managed to lose the ball at the OPPOSITIONS CORNER FLAG and was left on his arse. Not a sustainable model to be honest.
-
Nothing wrong with Costa's hamstring there! (I do still wince a little bit when he runs like that though)
-
Willian!
-
Brilliant save initially from Tibo, terrible defending though.
-
Oscar is really turning it on. Very silky in possession.
-
We can only hope, but I doubt it. We won't even be able to sell him for a cheese sandwich in the next window.
-
...but can he play in the pivot?
-
Not really. It's because I called him a child with a keyboard and he's decided to prove me wrong by acting childish trying to conflict with whatever I post. If I said José is perfect he would still have a moan. Anyway, I won't be responding to the child anymore. And how am I 'repeating the same shit over and over again' when I am referring to a news article about Mourinho that was just published hours ago? I also said nothing about improving our squad, I was talking about José mentality. You seem a bit confused. Since you're insinuating I might just be 'having a moan', you should also know there is a massive difference between criticism and moaning. Criticising is based on a specific argument, fact or point of view. Moaning is just complaining for the sake of it. Some people criticise fairly, some people just moan and some people just moan about others criticising/moaning (guess who). Which one brings about quality discourse on a forum?
-
Still trying to cause conflict for the sake of it? You are quite pathetic. Posters like you are the reason people stop coming on to TC.
-
Mourinho claims it takes him 10 minutes to determine whether kids can cut it with the champions. Well, there goes any hope of Mourinho changing his ways. Bit ironic considering the fact that Cuadrado is still here and he decided to get Falcao despite their atrocious last seasons. Mourinho is blurred by history and past glories when it comes to expensive purchases, but when it comes to kids (who don't have that benefit)? Nah, 10 minutes is more than enough. Cya later KDB, hello Cuadrado. Working really well isn't it?
-
Voting Moses as MOTM says a lot.
-
Zouma the bulldozer.
-
But I would've put Bamford's development ahead of Atsu's in all honesty.
-
Bournemouth buy Lee Tomlin from Boro for 3m. Not sure why we didn't just loan them Bamford instead of Palace.
