This is fucking horrible.

Don't worry, there's always Giroud.

We need him!

must be horrible being a premier league side with millions of pounds to spend....

[Viazon]

Giroud is love. Giroud is life.

The goal doesn't change my opinion on Giroud. He's still shite.

Agreed.

He's very good......for a third or fourth choice striker. And against any team besides top four, atm, I'd play him.

Really surprised Arsenal didn't go for Balotelli, he would have fitted into their style more better than Liverpool's. Would have been another 'marquee' signing, £16m so not alot of money aswell and with the service of Ozil/Sanchez, seems they missed out there.

He's not shite. He's far from being the best forward in the world but he's not shite.

On the scale of Gabriel Agbonlahor to Leo Messi, Giroud is about a 4.5.

I'd love a striker who scored me 28 goals in 2 seasons

[PorkChop]

If I was that fourth official I'd shit myself.

I love his beard. Wish my beard would have grey parts in it besides the three solitary grey hairs I've currently got.

He's ten times as intimidating with a beard. I'd hate to see him waiting for me in the dressing room after a poor defensive display!

Dougie freedman has gone from 33/1 to 6/1 in the race for the next Crystal Palace manager.... they are more then welcome to him!

Does anyone else enjoy watching QPR get trashed as much as I do?

Yes.

Also, Hull just got robbed. Terrible refereeing, the linesmen should be ashamed also.

They have been truly woeful. Their defence has been caused all sorts of problems. Having Dunne and Ferdinand as two of three centre halves makes no sense as well. Neither have pace and they both could never fit into that system together. Ferdinand has really showed he is years past it as well, he should have retired before the season started.

Tottenham have been decent though, they have passed the ball well and been quick getting forward. Lamela has had a decent performance as well, especially in the first half. It'll be interesting to see if he can maintain that form on a consistent basis. I thought that after his first disastrous season that he may be one of Spurs's best players this season. You can see that there is quality in him, especially when running at players!

Watching the United vs Sunderland game. United are winning currently, but they're shit.

They can buy Di Maria all they like, they'll be far off the top of the league still.

They can buy Di Maria and waste £60million on him (huge waste of money) but until they fix the real problem which is their centrebacks they'll be nowhere near title challengers

Ashley Young booked for diving. 10/10 would laugh again.

The funny thing about that whole dive was if he had stayed on his feet and just knocked it past the defender instead of hurling himself at him, he would of been in on goal
