Palace go to pieces when they approach the box.
This the lowest quality match since Norwich v Arsenal last season.
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 01:55 PM
Chamakh is on!
Holloway :bow:.

Haven't had that impression at all. Little guile there now.
Haven't had that impression at all. Little guile there now.
I agree. There's very little creativity in this side.

Not surprising tbh.
Better squad and manager even without Bale.
They haven't played well but look like getting the job done in a tricky game away to a promoted side.
4th is theirs
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 02:18 PM
So close!
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 02:18 PM
Lloris saves, twice from Pikachu or whatever his name is.

Haven't had that impression at all. Little guile there now.
Oh no not in terms of creativity but in terms of solidity.....we looked about as stable as one of my feeble attempts to cook an omlette
When you buy three or four new players like Spurs have done it takes a while for them to bed in and that's why they aren't the finished article but considering the sloppy mess we were yesterday i still stand by my statement.

Certainly they're going down the power route. Not sure that's a great idea really, teams will park the bus routinely. Granted we're not in a great position to judge right now but I'd be very surprised if we didn't finish above them - I am expecting we will buy some randomers that will do a job of some degree.
0-1 FT. Parry points out they are ahead of us in the table, which they were at kick-off.
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 02:27 PM
Mata benched.
Time for him to come home.

Fuck off Mourinho
Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie
18-08-2013, 02:31 PM
but the thing is when you bed in new players you normally find yourself grinding out results even against poor opposition until the new players have settled and you start having the confidence to start attacking teams.
What we totally failed to do at the Emirates yesterday, as soon as we scored Villa were using their pace to try and force their way back into the game now if Wenger could get over his hubris and delusion and had any kind of tactical nous he would have encouraged the players to drop back for a bit and take the sting out of the game and a side like Villa which isn't great at possession football would not have much joy against our back four if it sat back deeper....and we could have been patience and looked to kill the game off second half.....wouldn't have been pretty but it would have been the best way to deal with the current situation.
But in Wenger's mind the team are world beaters and we can simply try and impose our passing game on anyone at home and come out victorious and this is why we were made to look bloody stupid.

Makes sense. It allows him to at least have a couple of known quantities on the pitch while he's figuring out the strengths of the team. He'll probably even play them in the correct positions.
Niall_Quinn
18-08-2013, 02:49 PM
How has chelsea, with all the manager chopping and changing, ended up looking like a settled club when we, with our so called stability, are a running joke? What a horrible indictment of the men in charge at Arsenal. You can see the chavs calmly easing to the title and a good CL run. What can you see when you look at us?
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 02:50 PM
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Ramires, De Bruyne, Oscar, Hazard, Torres.
Subs: Essien, Mata, Schurrle, van Ginkel , Lukaku, Ba, Schwarzer.
Hull: McGregor, Elmohamady, Chester, Davies, Figueroa, Brady, Meyler, Koren, Sagbo, Graham, Aluko.
Subs: Rosenior, Bruce, Huddlestone, Livermore, McShane, Boyd, Harper.
Referee: Jon Moss (W Yorkshire)

18-08-2013, 02:53 PM
Slightly embarrassing that every single one of those Chelsea players on the bench would comfortably be in our first team
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 03:02 PM
De Bruyne belts it, over.
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 03:05 PM
Pelanty to Chelsea.
McGregor. :haha:
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 03:05 PM
Just punched him in the face. :haha:

Chelsea 1-0 Hull, Oscar.
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 03:13 PM
Hull will do well to keep this to single figures.
The best Chelsea have ever played under Mourinho?
De Bruyne is a bit good.
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 03:14 PM
Good save from McGregor to deny Honest Frank.
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 03:22 PM
Chelsea not buying an established, classy, reliable strike to complement their creative talent is almost as negligent as our whole transfer policy.
Mata, Hazard and Schurrle's goals will probably compensate for the lumps up front though.
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 03:24 PM
Chelsea 2-0 Hull, Honest Frank from miles out with a freekick.
Master Splinter
18-08-2013, 03:25 PM

Great dive from Torres for the freekick.

Seems a stroll in the park for the chavs.

The cheating bastards have prepared for the season! Scandalous. Their bullshit owner has listened to the fans' complaints and brought in the manager they demanded. Talk about an arrogant bastard. Shitty club, terrible share price, lousy balance sheet, laughable transfer window profitability. They haven't the slightest clue what football is all about.

Not watching the game is this typical Mourinho fare of "two nil up so shut up shop" or has he mellowed with age and realised football is as much about entertainment as it is results.
Niall_Quinn
18-08-2013, 04:35 PM
Chavs are chasing and pressing all over the pitch. I wouldn't say it is entertaining but it's certainly professional, efficient and effective. Our players should be watching this to figure out that starting point we need to achieve.
McNamara That Ghost...
18-08-2013, 04:43 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 06:57 PM
Pardiola:
'What I can confirm is that on the eve of a game we've had a bid for the player which we don't think is acceptable. Therefore I have to pick what I think is a team out here tonight which is going to get us a result. The rights and wrongs of that bid, other people can make an opinion, I know what my opinion is.'
We bid yesterday? Well what's the problem then. :unsure:
I don't understand why anyone would be upset at a bid. Either accept it or reject it and move on.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:04 PM
Very good save from Krul to deny Dzeko's scuffer.

This is because of our bid. It's shameful.
Niall_Quinn
19-08-2013, 07:20 PM
That's a good looking pitch, looks like they are trying to buy the trophy for the best pitch. We can't compete.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:21 PM
Dzeko with another scuffer. Dzeko just looks dreadful every time he starts but is a gamechanger when it's time to get off the bench.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:22 PM
Man City 2-0 Barcodes, Aguero! Excellent goal tbf.
Barcodes. :haha:
Niall_Quinn
19-08-2013, 07:22 PM
Shit by Dzeko - sign him up.

How far behind is the SkyGo feed? Aguero has just scored, about a year later.

Barcodes. :haha:
Guess we must have put in another bid.

We're determined to ruin their night! Krul definitely had the bid this time, bring him off Pards!
Shaqiri Is Boss
19-08-2013, 07:26 PM
I hope you're proud of yourselves, relegating Newcastle like this.
You should be.
Master Splinter
19-08-2013, 07:28 PM
If we put five more derisory bids for Kebab over the next five nights, will that be enough to relegate Newcastle?
Or at least end Pardiola's tenure?
WUMger :bow:.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:31 PM
Fight fight fight!
Mbiwa getting angry with Dzeko over our latest bid.
Niall_Quinn
19-08-2013, 07:31 PM
Pardiola said he's leaving it up to others to decide what they think about our bid. I've given it careful consideration and have concluded Pards is a huge tit.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:33 PM
Fernandinho booked, as was Dzeko and Mbiwa before.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:34 PM
Sissoko booked.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:35 PM
Dzeko does well to miss that. An absolute tap-in if he had bothered to connect.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:36 PM
Dzeko is embarrassing.
McNamara That Ghost...
19-08-2013, 07:40 PM
Debuchy booked. :lol:

19-08-2013, 07:41 PM
Mbiwa is a scrote.

19-08-2013, 07:43 PM

Just behind the Scouse wit!
Also, I'm getting the impression Neville does not like this new set-up at all, especially as Carragher is talking all the time.

Pardiola just said he thinks our bid was disrespectful, he doesn't know why we couldn't have waited until tomorrrow morning and that if we had, the result tonight might have been different. :rolleyes:

I do understand where he's coming from. He's spent all summer preparing for this game, then literally the night before, a bid comes in for your best player(a low bid at that), who then gets a bit unsettled. I would feel a bit disrespected if I was Newcastle.
In their minds they are thinking, don't fuck up our team, because you're in panic mode, and didn't buy before the season started.

He's just creating an angle to take the heat off his side from a poor performance. They clearly would have lost even with Cabaye because, well, they're a bit shit.

This is when the bid low, unsettle player tactic works. Cabaye is as good as gone, and Newcastle will be powerless to stop it because, well... they're shit.
Seriously though, why didn't you do this on July 1?

Wouldn't he be unsettled ahead of the West Ham game had we made the same bid tomorrow? I don't think the Newcastle fans are particularly concerned with us having made a bit or not from what I have read, more concerned with how Pardew doesn't seem to have done anything to improve them from a shocker of a season.
He travelled with the team to Manchester so whoever leaked it today is the one that caused any 'unsettling'.
Yes indeed. I doubt very strongly that the bid/first contact was made when Cabaye was waiting for his bag to be taken off the team bus at 6PM tonight somehow.

Because Cabaye was probably 47th on our list of targets. We've just been working through them one by one hoping to fluke a signing.
Anyway, let's all have a laugh. In the highly likely event of watching the might of Stevenage FC at home, you might be tempted by the "Cheesy Chips" on the menu. Okay, they will set you back four English pounds, but look what you get for your mazoolah...: :drool: <_<

Newcastle have the right to be pissed, yes they weren't gonna win regardless. But for them Arsenal hadn't shown one interest or contacted them about Cabaye throught this Summer, then all the sudden, because of a humiliating loss, they essentially panic, and just make a bid, the day before their first game. I expect them to feel some way about it.
It's a bit unprofessional and very disregarding in a business, where you are always gonna have to deal with each other.

We made a bid for a player and they rejected it, which is their right. If we had done it last week, is it possible he wouldn't have played in this game anyway? There's nothing unprofessional about it. What would have been unprofessional is if we had publically made mention of the player before their match. Making a private bid is not in any way unprofessional.
Newcastle didn't even have to respond to it (or acknowledge it) yesterday if they didn't want to.

All that remains is for WUMger to say, "No, there is no bid, I do not know this Cabaye player!"

Agree to disagree, but if the another team did this to us, we would feel the same way. For me I just feel like, there's a time and place for everything. And making a bid, the day before a game, for a team's best player. Is a bit classless, and clumsy.

I wouldn't be bothered. The window is open, clubs can bid whenever they want for whatever amount they want - it might be a waste of time for them in the end but they have the right to do so as long as the window is in this format.
Reading the Newcastle forums they seem to be suggesting that Pardew had been talking throughout the summer about Cabaye's availability and tied-in with the apparent links to PSG. Blaming us for his inability as a manager I won't accept.
Talking about 'imagine this situation for us', what if Wenger had openly blamed Man City and Barcelona as the reason for our poor results in August two seasons ago? I doubt it would be washed away like Pardew's comments seem to be.
Overrated Neville may be, but with Carragher alongside him he looks like Archimedes. Y'know.

Villa supposedly denied a clear pel at the end too.
I'd usually feel sorry for Villa, but they were gifted a result just the other day.
Ivanovic gets away with murder every other week though.

So we are already 6 points behind the chavs? We won't make that up all season. We're out of the PL already.
