[Football] So what was the point in signing the Colombian bloke?

I still think he's easy for defenders, just mark him off his right shoulder. But that goal was a thing of footballing beauty.

In the absence of a Colombian bottled lager readily available in a supermarket such as Tesco, coupled with the lack of a Colombian wine industry initiating the purchase of a bottle of Colombian red in M&S, I've settled on falling in love with Jose Izqueirodo instead of cocaine. He's frankly marvellous. I haven't felt like this since Junior McDougald.

Was it just me, but thought that GM was (initially) a bit grumpy that Jose didn't pass to him (just after he had scored)
Nah, he was celebrating

No Daz he was completely correct on his vision, GM was still showing the space when the ball was in the net.
Don’t think he was grumpy

I think he was a little bit, all good strikers are grumpy when they don't score.
True.......
Wow. It really is that easy!

Ever played? If the player has time and space, fine, you'll lose him, but if the player is on the ball and you are near him you keep him left sided, get it?
Ever been a Premier League manager? It's not as simple as "just mark him off his right shoulder", is it? Do you honestly think a manager / back room staff / coaches wouldn't of thought of that?
BBC stats showed Jose put in the fastest sprint of anyone on the pitch.....33.1kph. Bolt’s WR (accepting its a longer distance) averages at 37.5kph.

Is that for just us or across the prem? (sorry if thats a dumb question)
Only in relation to our game I think.....will see if there are any more comprehensive stats

strong and stable with me, or...
Surprised that was quicker than one of Murray's runs to be honest.

Not at all. At the tine, hewten wasn't playing him and it appeared that he didn't know where he was supposed to be playing and was getting 10 minutes at the end of the game......now he has a run in the side and is looking like the player we were told he was going to be.
I am very pleased for the lad and lets hope this continues.
