If we have ambitions to do anything we need to compete with City/Chelsea/Utd all season and I don’t have confidence that Arteta and Ramsey anchoring the midfield is good enough to do that.

Which actual top teams did we play apart from Spurs who beat us? Bayern was a great away performance but they were playing like a team with a 3-0 lead.

We lost a few games because of the averageness in the squad and defensive errors but we were not that bad.

City Away - blunt attack (Vinho one on one) better side.
United away - blunt attack and Vermaelen mistake
Chelsea Home - Oscar put the clamps on our passing game and we had two errors that led to goals.
Tottenham Home - won but with Ade assist, played with the handbrake up
City Home - Koscielny red
Chelsea Away - poor first half, great second half.
United Home - Great performance until Sagna lost his head. Quick ball movement and aggressive play.
Tottenham away - Ver-fukking-maelen..

The team was hard to read mentally early on too ie Start games poorly then turn it on the 2nd. Seemed the Bayern result made them overcome it.

How dare you called C.Dot a c*nt. The little c*nt should have thank him for allowing that ball to touch him, let alone broke his weak ass wrist. The lad probably a fakkit anyways ::wrist:

Paolo Di Canio's Sunderland boys already putting in work. Although it's a meaningless pre-season tournament, they easily beat a less fit Spurs on a shytty pitch 3-1. Altidore had a decent game with great hold-up play which lead to an assist for Sunderland's first goal but missed 1 sitter and was robbed twice by US keeper Brad Friedel. I hope he nets in one in the final vs Man City.
