Nowhere to be seen today, what the hell? There was this other guy playing at the back though looked like a mixture of Desailly and Baresi, not bad!

He's going to have to figure out how to use that foot thing on the end of his left leg.

Ameobi a yard off side again from a free kick. That's THREE times today.

Five more minutes. alreet alreet... thanks for keeping me updated

We're fading here, dying... get some changes man!

Brilliantly taken! wow ... should retire now

We've had a lot of the ball and all around their box, but simply not producing anything at all.

This. MAKE THE SUBS

Fuck off Duff. Give up already claiming every single thing

Damn... Carroll likely to come off. Shola for the full 90 now then.

Fantastic attitude today. He has a real fire in his belly

Blatant dive by Duff you could tell even at full speed. Stupid Irish cheating wanker, play on tosser!

Fuck sake Shola!! gets to the ball second and then just stays there on his knees... get up man you tosser!

Butt again working hard against us as we were building some pressure.

Shola back out for the 2nd half... of course!

This is just a joke with Shola. What was he going to achieve? Same performance as he had against Spurs all over again. Like he's out there for someone else's benefit. Joke. Fuck off and die already.

please please please

Butt - Duff - Shola We have the triforce of counter productivity... fear not gents!

Pointless lobbing long balls to him like. Already unlikely enough that he'll control in any form. Get Lovenkrands on with Carroll!!

.... pathetic

Shola a yard offside from that free kick ruins it for everyone.

All those saves off the line from Wigan players against Villa!! Brilliant!

Not being able to act is the sign of being a brilliant number 9.

As someone posted elsewhere (might have been on the N'Zogbia thread), he has had runs in the team in his preferred position, which have started well enough, but eventually the dummy has been spat again for some reason. I don't remember these periods. He's never spat the dummy out on the pitch. And indeed his stints as proper left midfielder were always short lived almost always for reasons out of his control. Only true run was under Roeder I guess, before all this left back talk.

Been thinking about that a lot today too. Feels like a long time ago, but was "only" back end of 2004.
