Big Geordie

Ameobi off. Not sure who has come on.

4-1 Thomas.

WTf did he do? Fouled Thomas and must have been last man.

Ryan Taylor sent off. Goes from bad to worse.

WBA get another pen. Ryan Taylor on Thomas. More of a pen according to Mick Lowes.

Carroll makes it 2-1 with a superb volley. Game on perhaps!

Ameobi on for Pancrate.

Shite.

Wow - we have a corner! Taking us feckin 45mins to wake up.

Are they f*** man A dodgy penalty and a ball that might not have even crossed the line. We might be s*** but it doesn't make them great. You must be listening to a different game than me, then! They've done nowt special, they've just taken advantage of us being really s***. Hardly makes them worthy of a 2-0 lead. Same as Monday - they pass it better through the midfield and have some pace in the side. Exposes us for what we are - slow and one dimensional.

Anderson tearing into some of the fringe players who have come into the team. Pen was dodgy, but WBA worth their two goal lead.

Kadar given a yellow. Game over lads. Concentrating on the league it is then. Don't be surprised if we manage to fuck that up as well though.

Christ - pen to WBA after a foul by Kadar. Minimal contact apparently, and given by the linesman.

Midfield struggling according to John Anderson. WBA passing their way through us with ease yet again.

I f***ing won't. Me and you then!

Be interesting to see how much we want this now. Still if we do lose, most on here will be pleased no doubt.

Olsson scores for them. Poor marking again.

Carroll with a headed chance - should have done better apparently.

Howay the lads!

Happy enough with the line up. Suspect WBA being unchanged will still be a bit too much for us. Gonna go with a 1-1 draw though, as it's the result not many want.

Andy Awford on Total Sport reckons he hasn't played for Pompey because of the 3 clubs rule. Having already played for Watford this season, if he'd also played for Pompey they wouldn't be able to sell him until the summer. Obviously been looking to ship him back out as soon as he'd signed.

Radio Newcastle reckon that we've confirmed that we've agreed a deal with Portsmouth, though we are having talks with the player.

Defensive cover then, if true. I know very little about the lad. I wonder if it's a signing that will provide cover if we don't get promoted? If that happens, Coloccini and Taylor will be sold.....

Agreed about looking a bit pacier up top with Lovenkrands in. However, midfield is the problem and it's been that way for years. Hughton obviously banking on the experience of Smith and Nolan to get us up and whilst Nolan has got goals, he just goes missing in games far too often. When will it be addressed? Christ knows. When we have an owner who will spend cash and a manager who isn't content to be a patsy.
