They've looked good, though it's still very early days yet.

Taylor can't even make the bench now.

Not even sure it was a tackle, more like a jumped block, as he knew he would never make it to the player in time. Henry did something virtually identical there a couple of seasons back.

Sounds like a 11 year old kid.

Wow, Ross Gardner has really dropped down a long way, given the high hopes people had for him.

Bradley Orr doing well at Bristol City.

Straw hands is out unfortunately.

Any idea why he hasn't played for West Ham yet?

Goal-line technology still won't be introduced.

Wouldn't it be Virgin money? http://www.viploan.co.uk/viparticlesimage/virgin_money_060109.jpg

holy tits Be interesting to see where they are when she is 40 and older.

Always frustrating having to sell such a good player, however the money would be the key issue, as long as we use it wisely and get the right player in. Selling Owen for £15 million, at nearly 28, on his huge wages, his injury record and with him coming to the end of his contract is simply too good to turn down.

You forget about the previous two years then?

Hardly sends out the right message to Celtic. If this sort of thing happened to a foreign club people on here would be going crazy.

You only miss it when it's gone. Like I said before, bring back for a few games a season. It doesn't have the same impact when it's used every home game. By last season it was doing nothing for me, no song has the same impact when you have heard it hundreds of times.

That was when the Uefa Cup was on Tuesday night, and Champs League only on a Wednesday.

Shit players go through periods of good form, good players go through periods of form. You would have wanted Sven to pick to likes of Marcus Stewart, James Beattie and Michael Ricketts then?

I'm guessing Madras was joking there.

Given was reinstated because of what he has done before in the previous 400 games! He had a bad game today, his worst for a long time. If we drop him now we have uncertainty and confusion in the one area of the pitch we haven't had for the past 10 years. Like I have said before, Allardyce has to pick his number one and stick with him, you can't drop a goalkeeper for having one bad game especially when that is Given who has proven his quality. Chopping and changing goalkeepers will do us no good whatsoever, they need to get into a rhythm. Allardyce hasn't managed the situation well, he should have reinstated Given when he was fit or stuck with Harper as he was in form.

Crimson Tide is on after though, so I might not be such a bad Saturday night after all.

Incredibly they've got Match of the Day on tonight, seems a bit pointless.

Just look down the Rangers and Celtic teams and see the sort of players that play for them. It makes both their achievements in Europe all the more impressive. But they really are filled with a lot of very ordinary players.

Worst thread ever!

Amazingly the fan managed to get out of the game last night without being arrested, finally gave himself up to the police today.
