Taylor last-ditch challenge and Zog off the line.

Defoe is fucking class..or so they say Yeah, don't worry, the Evening Standard told me you guys have the best strikeforce in whole widest world... -est. Nah, unfortunately, Spurs will be back. Just a rough patch.

He went to America and Germany. Saw the granddaddy of all injuries that is Dr Steadman.

So happy Bolton/Spurs are drawing

Just a thought, but are they fasting before midnight for the month of September, what with it being Ramadan?

That should be the motto of EVERY successful club - can you imagine Wenger allowing Martins(or anyone else)being an automatic choice ? Not being aggressive, but that's the sentimental crap that hinders our club. We leave match-winners like Laurent Robert out when their 5-second contribution to the games means we score against the Derbys of this world, when the Butts could give their all for 300 minutes and still create jackshit.

5.

I honestly don't know how anyone could so consistently fail to beat the first man from corner kicks. Kicking a stationary ball with pace, height and whip really isn't that difficult!

Changed to an 11pm-9am shift for this, tbh.

Depressing as

Everyone's a comedian. Ameobi starting is a good choice, and given our quality of full-backs today, I doubt we would need to punt it long.

What is the official status of Enrique?

Lolo, Shearer, Nobby, Ameobi.

McClaren is one lucky mother-trucker. His team concedes a bucketful so he throws on two extra strikers - the only real available recourse = McClaren is praised for his tactics! Lampard and Crouch are unavailable - they're replaced with Barry and Heskey = McClaren is praised for his selection!

Sam Allardyce doesn't seem too fond of leaving him out of the team, when, for me, there are three strikers fit right now who I'd play ahead of him in Owen, Martins and Ameobi. With less creativity in midfield than we would otherwise have were certain other players fit, I think the onus falls on the strikers to create more for themselves in a 4-3-3 system, and I think the pace and dexterity of the aforementioned three would make our attack far more unpredictable and dangerous. Viduka has done -fairly- well so far, but his contribution is a little one-dimensional and will surely encourage longer balls when we need a goal quickly.

I missed Football Italia. Veeeery slow match. Don't think Seria A understands the concept of breaking.

Forget football!!!

Steven Taylor. He just wants it so much! And if he missed he'd be angry with himself and would make sure we didn't concede. Crazy mofo. Him, or Shola.

Haha, what a rubbish beard!

Hell yes.

:lol: Simple stuff, but this is why you win those coveted awards GemGem.

Happy Birthday lucky charm!

Harper - 7 - Solid. Not much to do though perhaps could've done better on the goal. Maybe. N'Zogbia - 7 - Impressive display against decent opposition. Interesting prospect at LB. Taylor - 7- Courageous and solid. Rozhenhal - 6.5 - May get slated for this, but he looked a little uncomfortable and shaky at times during the second half. That said, it's not unnatural for a Premiership newbie to lose a little composure when faced with an aggressive/wounded Bolton. Promising though. Carr - 6 - A team is only as strong as its weakest link. Milner - 7.5 - Industrious and effervescent performance. A real danger. Getting some end product. Geremi - 8 - Immense. Excellent bridge from defence to attack. Smith - 7 - Archetypal Alan Smith, and he'll get better as he goes. Butt - 7.5 - Efficiently kept things ticking over. His redemption from his horror first season is completely complete. Viduka - 6.5 - A little anonymous for me, didn't seem too matchfit. Hm. Martins - 8 - A difficult second half, but gets the 8 for having the quality that he does. Magical overhead kick. Subs: Ameobi: Thankless tast getting battered chasing balls no one could win against two overly-physical defenders. Ramage: No time. Solano: Did okay. Good calming influence.
