Where are all the weekend previews? It is Thursday, right?!

On Moore's debut he put in a slide tackle and crossed the ball in one fluid motion near the cornerflag. It was the equivalent of an M.Bison sweep from SFII. Shearer nodded home and we won the cup.

Ben Arfa is fit having played a few games behind closed doors over the last 2 weeks. He was late though, so Pardew has promoted the magnificently punctual Phil Airey ahead of him in the pecking order. He was fifteen fucking minutes early for the last training session. That's class you can't buy.

Alright, alright, settle down, enough of this club finances lark, forget this Carroll international goal tripe, to hell with rumours of Jose being unsettled, let's get back to the reeeeal meat and potatos of our club in its present state, the reeeeal bread and butter... ...will Pardew start Peter Lovenkrands as striker or right mid?

Chuffed for Ghana

Awesome goal tbf.

Hope Gyan injures someone with his shot.

England diving around like Italians. Shameful.

Makes me feel absolutely fucking sick to my stomach tbh. This. That transfer epitomises everything that is wrong with football iyam. The whole evening is a bit galling. They followed the Carroll goal up with a taster for Spurs in the CL quarters against Real Madrid. Half expected them to show a picture of Stephen Carr lifting the League Cup again for good measure, then maybe Hughton humbly accepting an honest job of street sweeper with a local council.

*sigh*

Every time I listen to either BBC or ITV commentary, I always become convinced the other is marginally better/bearable. I'm always wrong.

Bullet.

"That's that athleticism that this Ghana team has.." What a patronising twat. That was as much about neat passing as physical athleticism.

Shit without Barton/Nolan tbh. How weird would that be if Barton, Carroll and Nolan played for England together again. Never happen of course, but weird all the same.

What a shit cross. Anyway, with enough injuries Aston Villa/Sunderland could become serious relegation candidates tonight.

Barry and Milner? Talk about in the team on reputation, man.

A quid on Carroll FGS, England 3-1. In addition to lots of shite accumulators I've lazily thrown together at the last minute.

Doyle is a massive miss for them. Not happy to see someone who seems like a decent guy injured but this is a zero sum game, so big plus for us going into the game.

Wouldn't mind Bellamy embarrassing Dawson tbh.

Vintage Bent tap-in

B&H not leading =

Won 20 earlier on Trott to get over 79.5

One thing Spain aren't is ruthless, especially Villa/Torres - but good luck dude!
