Robert belting Bernard in the face with a ball he'd smashed into touch for no reason was a classic moment. I think the "seven bells" press release has to be the number one though.

No thanks. Mackem fuck.

Yeah the way Taylor ran along the line until the ball was played was superb, fair play to the linesman actually watching the game too, would have been easy to flag with him being so clear. Pity about the very poor finish.

The best we can hope for is that we don't sell too many key players. If any bids of more than about 30 quid come in for anyone, Ashley will snatch their hand off.

His through ball for Ryan Taylor was absolutely lush.

Half an hour gone, he's already got a hat trick.

Thought he looked inventive in the last 10 mins against Derby compared to the huffing and puffing we produced in the 80 mins before that. I'd like to see him in a football side with proper central midfielders before writing him off altogether. The long ball game isn't going to do his type any favours. Yeah he was very poor in his cameo against Wednesday (well, spooned a couple of desperate long rangers over the bar but this is exactly what I mean when you ask a player to change a game in ten minutes) but he did alright against Derby, ran at the full back and put a few crosses in.

I'd like to see him start at home, same with Ranger. Always very unfair judging players in a last desperate ten minutes when the opposition have 11 men in the penalty area.

Passed Nile on Northumberland st about 5 minutes ago.

Great Joey. Can you pass a ball yet?

If we'd had Bellamy for the whole of that season (and the wanker hadn't fucked Robert off too) I think we'd have won that UEFA Cup.

Absolute class act.

Is it just me who is becoming increasingly peeved by Steven Taylor's ridiculously no-nonsense defending? There's a time and place for putting it in row z but that time and place is not necessarily every single time the ball comes anywhere near you.

Too much to ask for a midfield instead of stockpiling average strikers?

A mackem turncoat and fucking shite. No thanks.

I'd rather see ryan taylor there.

Getting a bit sick of this lad now tbh. The right winger gets no help whatsoever.

Shola was dog shit when he came on though. All those Ronaldinho like flicks that either went to no-one or bounced back off his other leg. Shola is one of the worst players to bring off the bench when you need a goal because he's got absolutely no fucking urgency about him whatsoever. Should have started given his good form, got a goal, haul him off after an hour.

Not a hope in hell imo.

Dreadful result against a dreadful side. To not start shola and guthrie was asking for what we've ended up with.

He was absolutely shocking.

His bottle went when we played the big teams. Check the results, re-read the match reports. He struggled more against the lower sides with the bruisers up front tbh. Spot on. Ricardo Fuller, Marlon King, Ishmael Miller and Emile Heskey are good examples. Carlton Cole left him a nervous wreck.
