Europa cup discipline for qualifying rounds counts towards our fair play points for next season? Just asking..........WTF? Professionals can't handle amateurs???

anyone got a video link for tonight?

Wow wow wow! It's a VERY long time since I was as excited about a new player as I am about this chap. He's played for 20 minutes so far this evening, made 5 brilliant passes and made everyone else, including Zarate, look very good too!

Other than the friendly at Southend we haven't performed. I know we can say 'it's only pre season, these results don't matter, it's all about getting fitness' but I'm feeling very underwhelmed, we already seem heavily reliant on Payet taking the Premier league by storm, let's hope he does, but surely at some point some of the rest of the team need to buck their ideas up, we have been playing competitive games in the Europa League qualifiers alongside the normal schedule of friendly games and in my opinion we've been poor. I think at the back we'll be ok, we've got reinforcements there but midfield and up front isn't performing, we've had glimpses of Payet and Samuelson, the rest have been the same old same old, if anything it just highlights that we still need to spend a shed load of money even after getting in 6 or 7 players, I can't believe that when the first game of the season starts it's going to be like flicking a switch and everybody suddenly starts performing, surely at some point we need to see a good pre season or Europa League performance from the team that will erase the shambles that was the second half of last season!
