Just saw his post-match. Quite like the guy. He was backed into a corner, he showed no little character and managerial skill and came out fighting. About time someone called out shite pundits, too. His comment about maybe having won by more against us if they went down to ten men was silly mind you. Got his tactics spot on against both Newcastle and Valencia. Needed some luck along the way, but who doesn't. Look forward to seeing just how good he is in the January transfer window.

Zenit have knocked out Porto too. Good scalp.

For your sake, I hope you were just frontin'! Plzen and Marseilla just fucked people up.

I'd give up, mate. The wonders of DNB. However it's taken away much of what was going to be a decent profit (by my standards). DNBs are godsends. Reduced value is a small price to pay for profit.

I'd give up, mate.

I want to believe. And I do, but given his value to us, mainly for precautionary reasons, I'll be surprised to see him start Norwich.

La Liga - best league in the world [/anti-Disco]

Any hand in the goal? Or was he too late?

David, you know on your keyboard mate, do you have the Euro sign instead of the pound sign above the number 3? Or is it over 4? Or is it just completely different? Completely different. It's where the 'E' is. Woah. Googled that shit. http://onepoyle.co.uk/web/german/support/german-keyboard.gif Crazy.

Leverkusen.

Would rather they stay in it and be distracted on multiple fronts. Can't see them doing much in either Prem or CL, so it doesn't matter.

You won't be saying that when I treat everyone but you on the forum to a round of ORANGE JUICE.......

Also a bit of money on Swansea-Fulham 0-0.

£50p trixie on 0-0s in Apoel, Olympiakos and Plzen's games. Returns £540.

Edit: Nee disrespect Guv, but bobbydazzla broke forum hearts once already when Tiote told him he'd be back for Manure. Seems players are always more optimistic about comebacks than medical staff/decision-makers. Also the idea of him berating the "shit Colo" is quite funny too. Can imagine eventually going off on a rant about how shit his hair is, and how crap the volume is in it.

No real value tonight that I can see, and my minor midweek losses are beginning to cut in my weekend winnings.

He's been suspended for drink driving, the silly boy. He started on Saturday, but it's pointless playing passing midfielders if all he gets us to do is defend. Ah. Daft sod.

Bannan looked promising early on this season - by no means the finished article or anything, but I see he's starting on the bench too now.

What a crock of shit, you ought to be fucking ashamed of yourself. A lot is two words. Dave you bastard, I just spit my tea out.

Spurs fans I've spoken to really don't rate the guy, now. FWIW.

McLeish is an absolute disgrace like, I've watched your last 3 games and been appalled every time. I went to Spurs and the Man United game, and left both thinking I never wanted to see another match again. Indefensible garbage. Sadly so. I have a soft spot for Villa (as my niece supports them) so I'm not taking as much pleasure in you being as utterly hopeless as you are. Shocking to think what you'd be like without Agbonlahor who has carried you this season. Fantastic player. Genuinely can't understand the rationale behind appointing McLeish. I also can't understand what McLeish is thinking by setting out/being the way he is. Actually dreadful. Soul-crushing stuff. Can't blame you for your morale being low - I'd start to become disinterested if I had to watch a McLeish team every week.

I think Pardew will line them up like this: Simpson Santon Perch Raylor with Kadar and Gosling on the bench as defensive cover. Can't envisage Kadar being throw in at all under Pardew's current policy, despite being the only actual CB.
