Surprised by how well it worked actually. Owen was excellent coming deep. I particularly liked the way players were slotting into others positions and it gave us a much more fluid look than we've had for a while.

Thought they all played very well today. Didn't have much to do tbf, but what they did, they did well.

It was, aye. Didn't feel that way because it never does at 1-0 but looking back they were diabolical. If it hadn't been for Bullard, I think we'd have really wiped the floor with them. All they had to offer was to give the ball to him, hope for a killer pass that their crap strikers couldn't miss or a long ranger flying in, he had all the responsibility. Felt quite sorry for him tbh.

As if Young's out ffs.

:celb: That is all.

Nerves creeping in now.

I'm with midds. Let's fucking have them.

Good thing Smith is having a spell on the bench, then. Remember the one he scored here for Wigan? Forgot about that actually. We cannot allow him any dead ball shooting opportunities, on his current form it'll be easy pickings.

Just don't give Bullard any free kick opportunities.

I'm nervous but I can't wait either. Let's put this awful run to bed once and for all.

Different eras and totally incomparable in terms of finance. I agree in principle though. The team that came up and finished third was largely the same team that got us promoted, only really Pedro was added iirc. The real money came later.

Definitely exactly the same like.

His Mam's. Probably Emre then. Could be Zamblera if his mam's an Italian lottery winner.

I know Oba drives a black Ferrari, not sure what else.

Interesting how Harry Redknapp is being hailed for his work with Portsmouth given that he was managing West Ham when Keegan was here first time and finished 14th, 10th and 13th. He must have learned a hell of a lot about tactics in those three years Keegan was out of the game.

Kirkland is embarrassingly bad. I really don't think it's a case of black and white specs to say that I'd have Harper ahead of Carson and Kirkland every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Didn't see this thread first time round. Duff.

As if Kirkland and Carson are in.

Well i'm voting for Duff, so fuck you Dave.

Definite potential banana skin like. Still, rather that than even average away form.

What a fucking arsehole.

Robert Lee for me.

Still not convinced Houllier would have been able to take our shower and run with them, having acquired two good sides with Liverpool and Lyon.

What a fucking player that boy is. Unbelievable.

1-0 Chelsea.
