I actually watched most of the game on Friday and I have to say it was tremendous fun

I saw the goals. The three we conceded were pretty funny, the second one arguably the best.

Of course I understand why we are getting stick for it but I think if you removed the first four picks at centre back from most squads they would struggle defensively. The weird thing is how we have managed to start a season without centre backs, again. It seems to be becoming an obsession.

I don’t even know why they aren’t available. Are they all injured?

Kos is suspended, Mertesacker and Gabriel were injured, Mustafi isn't fit enought to start at the minute and it seems like Chambers is no longer wanted.

Sorry, but how is a professional footballer allowed to come back from the summer break less than fully match fit?

He was given some extra time off because he was playing for Germany in some tinpot international competition.

Hmph. And what of Mertesacker? Is his 'injury' just that little gash he received the other day? Surely that's no reason to miss a game? Terry Butcher lost about 4 pints of blood and kept playing.

He always does this. Gives them extra time off and leaves us short at the start of the season.

Maybe its worth it, I don't know. ****ing annoying though.

He also had a baby... Don't know whether he was given some more time off for that or not.

Well if he'd had a baby, that would be fair enough. However, if it's just his wife having a baby, that's another matter entirely.
