No. Well. Oh yeah sorry, that must confirm it. Thanks.

No. Well.

Obertan really is terrible isn't he.

BBC Live Text knackered, SSN graphics not on the screen, no idea what's going on.

No centre halves in the 11 and Kadar doesn't even make the bench. See ya then.

Santon starting then, shit the bed, cupboards and wardrobe.

Jonas captain, blimey.

You do know there's automatic subs, right?

At least he'll be match sharp having turned out for Gateshead for the last couple of months.

He couldn't get international clearance, so he wouldn't have been very handy at all.

Cheers Dave, hadn't seen the exact quote. Having him back would be a massive boost, as well as Guthrie has done the back four had no protection really on Saturday.

Would still be five matches like. Reading that it sounds like total guess work. Just hope Williamson is back soon, we might just be able to get by against Norwich & Swansea, but WBA have Odemwingie & Long, who will rape the Perchy & friend combo.

Think Abeid's off qualifying for the Olympic or something, unless he's already back of course.

Year. That's why he said year.

Right back, occassionally.

If they get O'Neill & N'Zogbia in the same season what will they call for when it all goes wrong? That's both of their go to solutions!

In the entire Ashley era, our only home FA cup ties have been replays - Stoke, Hull, Plymouth

I say the same every year before our third round demise but fuck me, there's an awful lot of shit vs shit draws. If you get a good draw you can be at the business end of this without having to do an awful lot.

So did I, then I learned Jack Alwnick dropped a cross in stoppage time and they got beat

Tricky for the mackems.

Home to Blackburn then. HOME TIE!

Routledge made a mug of him in the Championship season at SJP and he got sent off. Duff & Lovenkrands raped him at the Hawthornes in the relegation season. Keep it on the deck and go past him - he's decent in the air because he's huge but get down the side of him and he'll fail.

We may as well just attack. They have Leon Barnett at the back for fuck sake, how he's found himself in the Premiership again I have no idea. Anyone with pace will murder him as we've seen time and time again.

After the weekend we've had so far, probably Chelsea away. We're due an away draw.
