Yeah, fucking knobhead behaviour
Hmmm.. when he did the backheel, he landed on the sidelines and sat there like a boss who'd just carved open Brazil in the World Cup. He's been a massive inconsistent wonky eyed cunt for Arsenal, let's face it. That one moment just about said it all about his success in England.
Jamie uses the word 'listen' far too often, Ferdinand does it too.
I am listening you divvy. Don't fucking remind me to do some thing I am already doing just to help punctuate your chat and try and add gravitas

I keep expecting him to continue with, "do you want to know a secret?"
Yep and Jones too when he came on. The ginger dude looked leggy which is strange considering he is what 17-18? I guess (understandably) he was very nervous. Nowt wrong with that. Best sort it out sharpish though. You're right. Williams and Elliot looked the part. Raw but clearly talented.
Best post of the night !
Harvey Elliott (born 4th April 2003) won our penalty that Milly (PL debut 10th November 2002) converted.
Thought he was great all night (bar getting done a couple of times which is what you expect from a virgin FB up against experienced attackers). Really tricky feet.
Agreed. Will be good for the young ones to get through another round.
Oxford or Colchester in the next round will nice
That wasn't the only trick he missed ...
When asked "have you ever played in a game like that" he should have answered "didn't you watch the Barca game then" ? "I got two in that one as well".
How are the hysterical fannies doing?
Full-time ratings (half-time rating in parentheses).
Kelleher - 5.5 (4). No chance for the 2nd half goals and not much else to do. Saved the decisive penalty.
Williams – 6.5 (5). Overall a good debut. Didn't lose his head in a crazy game and grew in confidence, showed bravery in possession and quick feet. His crossing was poor, unfortunately, that was the one big downside.
Gomez – 6 (5). Untroubled in the 2nd half and a couple of moments of real quality.
Van der Berg – 4.5 (3). To be fair, improved after the horror-show of the first half and won his duels. Still don't want to see him play for the first team this season.
Milner – 5 (6). Incredible to see our most senior player make the worst mistake of the night. Didn't have a good game overall, but held his nerve to score both penalties and provide calmness and leadership despite being not at his best.
Lallana – 4.5 (4.5). Pointless performance. Moved further forward after Chirivella came on and didn't do anything in the more advanced position either.
Keita – 4.5 (5). Picked up a groin injury and was subbed early in the 2nd half. Yet another disappointing setback.
Ox – 5.5 (4.5). Incredible strike for the goal, but struggled to find a balance between being incisive and patient. Lots of unforced errors. At least he never stopped trying.
Elliott – 7 (6.5). Looked the most mature of our players, despite being the youngest. Didn't have a "wow" moment in the game, but made right decisions time and time again – a polar opposite of Ox.
Brewster – 6.5 (6). Didn't score, but impressed with his work-rate and led the line well. To be fair, he was up against the most incompetent senior backline I've seen this season.
Origi – 6.5 (4.5). Frustrating at times, but those 2 goals well-taken and absolutely vital.
Subs:
Curtis Jones – 6.5. Provided the patient and incisive link up play that neither Lallana, Keita or Ox could muster.
Chirivella – 6. Neat. Hope he's properly registered this time.
Klopp – 5.5. Lucky bastard.
