based on what? his bad track record last time? give over man. Aye, he might break the world transfer record again.

wasnt bad, went quiet in spells as it does, but we sang a lot more than we have recently. great cheer at the end as well! Was extremely edgy like. We'd have a good spell of passing and then if it unfortunately broke down the groans were ridiculous. Inevitable really given our current run though. aye, the groans are a f****** joke. and as much as i'm not a huge viduka fan, the amount of 'fat ozzie c***' cries that were thrown out around me just minutes after he had scored were pathetic. Aye the blokes sat behind me were absolute morons. Literally 2 minutes after he scored they were screaming at him for now closing down the keeper quick enough. f****** twats - its the same people all game who groan, whinge and boo even when we're doing well. Don't know why they bother going really. i wasn't a big fan of the boo-ing for the oba sub tbh Me neither, but theres a lot of stupid people in the ground who don't understand football and can't see past their favourite player. It was clear at the time that Geremi and Barton were being stretched further wide and Butt was a bit isolated in the middle. Made perfect sense to go 4-4-2 and Martins was just unfortunate to be the one to come off.

Is Jenas injured? Seems a strange exclusion given his recent good form and display in Capello's first game. Not too bothered that Forrest Gump, sorry, Agbonlahor isn't there.

:lol: Don't believe any of those quotes for a second!

What a weird comment. Name me a player who isn't invaluable when they're fit and scoring. Viduka, apparantly.

Its on the BBC website now.

Don't think thats ever been a problem really. We attracted the likes of Martins from Inter Milan and Owen from Real Madrid when we were shit mid-table teams. Money talks these days really tbh.

opinions are what makes football great, viduka drove me fucking mad today. if that was him playing class i'd hate to say a poor performance. good goal though. What was poor about it? Scored a good goal, held the ball up well, won a fair bit in the air. He's not a workaholic and he never will be. Viduka is what he is, talented but bone idle. He's not going to charge down the goalkeeper but he'll always score goals. That'll do me.

He's morale coach isn't he? Ie everyone's mate. Spends 90 minutes a week on a Saturday doing the crossword though.

Viduka was class today, held the ball up really well. Ok he might be a bit lazy and doesn't run as much as others do but he's got a knack of scoring really important goals. The way he got his shot away was quality. I quite like Owen in the deep role, perhaps needs to shoot a bit more but he's growing into it nicely. Was dying for a left winger on a couple of occasions though and instinctively passed it in that position to find no one there. Barton was good, even though he spent much of it on the left flank he impressed me. Much better than we've seen so far this season.

Not a bad player like, don't think he's any improvement on Taylor though.

Aye, but looking at the fixtures we've got, its the home games against the teams around us that are MASSIVE. Chances are we'll get nothing from Everton, Spurs or Chelsea so these games really are must-win.

I'm right nervous but excited, surely today we can turn the corner.

Same team as the other day if you ask me.

Fucking hell.

We could always try the short corner option, but we can't retain possession for love nor money so that idea goes straight down the pan!

Sorry did I offend your favourite player? He doesn't have enough composure to take a good corner, he'd just smack it and it would go anywhere.

Martins' corners would be atrocious tbh.

He was there against Brum on Monday. Shit, lets hope he doesn't get carried away by Nicky Butt's only half decent performance all season.

If Taylor gets in the squad its evident that Capello doesn't watch Newcastle games. Jesus christ.

The big problem with playing all 3 is the lack of width in the team, it wouldn't be too bad if our fullbacks were better going forward but sadly they're not. I also thought Viduka suffered by not having a midfielder pushing forward that he could lay the ball back to. Yeh quite a few times the ball came out on the edge of the box and when watching it on tele your hoping that someone is going to be there just off screen to take it, but time and time again there was no one making the run.

Don't know what N'Zogbia has done to be exempt from your rant.

You'd think he was subbed off at half time the way people are going on. Played well last night, as did Owen.
