Santos looks the part, dude knows how to play and is willing to push the envelope. He's got my vote of confidence and I think we'll be able to rotate him and Gibbs quite nicely.
No, played. I was very clear on that in my prior post.Eirico said:If you look at all the games we've played in the PL and CL this season, this is how many starts they have before this game (I wont include Sagna as he is usually pretty solid):
Arshavin 5 starts
Rosicky 3
Frimpong 3
Chamakh 1
So no, those players have not played the majority of our games so far this season (9 games). Only Arshavin has barely started the majority of the games, and today was the first time this season in a PL or CL game where more than two of those four players started. Having all four starting at the same time was obvious a reason why I didn't expect us to play well today.

And dude, it's Olympiakos, one of, if not the worst side in the competition. We didn't play well because we have bad players that play for us. And the majority of those bad players will play a prominent role in our season.

And these sky ads can **** off.

If I want to click on an advert, I will do, but I don't expect some ******* massive Sky pop-up to dominate the screen just because I took the ******* liberty of going within an inch of it with my mouse cursor. All it makes me want to do is fire bomb Sky offices.

If you're going to have a go at a Ramsey performance of 22 mins in a crucial win then at least spell his name correctly.

Mertesacker and Song looked good (from what i saw) and nice to see Santos has already matched Clichy's goal scoring record
Invincible said:Have to say I was very impressed with André Santos. Superb going forward and solid defensively. He'll have the left back spot sewn up if he carries on like this. Great signing.
Mertesacker played his best game yet. He's getting better and better and settling very well. He's already showing leadership qualities and bossing people around despite only being at the club for no longer than 4 weeks. Well played Big ******* German.
