How did Ozil recover from his diabolical display at Monaco? I read that he did quite well.

[Classic Jorge]

Also, there were many players worse than Mesut last week. Especially Gibbs

[7evens]

It's all about the assists.. Although he did wander about with his thumb up his arse for the other 88 mins :thumbup:

[redgunamo]

to appreciate Mesut Oezil, to be honest.

[Ben.]

Absolutely no idea how he kept his place ahead of Monorail, who's been excellent.

[Berni]

You're basically German, r. :-(

Although quite why so many of them wander around with Union Jack emblazoned clothing is beyond me

[Classic Jorge]

It mustve been growing up under graham

[Berni]

I'm not offended by it or anything, just rather bemused by the sight of French adolescents looking like leftovers from a UKIP conference. De Gaulle would be spinning in his grave.

[7evens]

If our Chilean didn't kick another ball all season, his tab would be more than covered.

[Classic Jorge]

[Ben.]

he just does it less frequently/recklessly.

[redgunamo]

it's still considered cooler to sport even our flag than their own.

Unless the football's on. The *******s.

Then it’s summer and upgrade time.

The above won't happen.

[redgunamo]

[redgunamo]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Giroud will be upgraded.

Welbeck is simply ****.

[Berni]

[Luis Anaconda]

Mind you we practically own France though really

[redgunamo]

[Pat Vegas]

am I missing something.

[redgunamo]

[The Insider]

He covered more ground than any other player - on either side. 7.2 miles. No bad for a lazy bugger. Oh and just the two assists for the two goals.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

[redgunamo]

[redgunamo]

That's love for you though, I suppose. What would you.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Thing is he only has a few months to sort out his new contract the way I see it. I don't think we will allow the stand-off from the last time to occur again, our squad is better balanced to cope, our need for him is less.

[7evens]

despite missing a few.
We all know there's better out there but we're not at the races for players like Costa

[Berni]

f**k all, of course. They make ours look indispensable in comparison.

[redgunamo]

the sort of player our unrivaled scouting network would've thrown up. You know, when he wasn't playing much.

[Ashberto]

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

He can or could be upgraded all the same, not dispensed with altogether.

And that is what we should be looking to do given our new found propensity for summer spending.

[Classic Jorge]

Also, I think you might be basing your opinions on Costa's one half of an OK season at chelsea and, at a stretch, a fairly decent season before that at Athletico. He was farmed out around the continent on loan before that where he hardly set the world alight.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It smacks of wanting to say something nice, or to not be critical, but struggling to get past the fact that the player puts in the proverbial shift.

Tryers should be the staple of 15 Premiership clubs, not the so called elite.

[Classic Jorge]

You know, passion, pride in the shirt etc etc etc
