Agbonlahor's just back from a hamstring injury, wouldn't be surprised if he's carrying it a bit still

Probably the time Solskjaer snapped Lee, the little fucker.

That is brilliant

Is it just me or is the pitch at Swansea massive?

Think the headlines are already written unfortunately. Can just see it if we lose - Stadium name change, fans outraged, wheels coming off, first defeat, cracks showing in thin squad, reserves got beat off the mackems, Ben Arfa back but a shadow of himself - up to us to change those headlines. Howay!

Best was in the squad for Ireland but he reported to them saying he was injured and was thus prefer to stay in Newcastle pending birth of baby Best rather than travel to Estonia. By the time the 2nd leg came around, he was still injured. Always suspicious when the injuries aren't reported properly, it usually means the bad news is dropped in on the end of some good news in the hope we don't notice.

That'll bring him down to earth.

Did I miss the bit where our injuries all cleared up? I thought Tiote, Marveaux & Obertan were all struggling for this one?

Greece, Ireland, Italy & Poland where they play for money not points is the way forward.

This always perplexes me. We have supporters on this board from all over the world and yet nobody ever seems to be involved in this frivelous meetings

Downing has been shite tonight.

Parker Stop fucking twirling man

Not Welbeck, bring us Zam Zam Bobelow please.

Is this match for the undisputed title?

Lampard vs Barry would be an interesting race.

Aye, good bet that. I was just being a pedantic cunt.

First Scole Goarer? Fucking Smog Geordie?

What a finish

Said it in the other games thread but fuck me, Bent is the least equipped man to play against Spain.

With every game that goes by I hate Darren Bent more and more. He doesn't even work particularly hard and is a complete was of a shirt in a game like this.

If we had an actual midfielder in there instead of Jones, we might have created something in the last 5 minutes.

Soccer Saturday man 3 People watching the Wales game in the studio. No FA cup highlights programme tonight. England friendly at Wembley. Worst Saturday ever.

Custis was great on the paper review, really good to see someone actually tell it how it is.

I don't think he trusts Ben Arfa to track back enough to play him on the wing, especially when we're defending a lead. No chance of him starting there against City with Richards/Kolarov bombing on from full back.

Imagine if we came out of these 3 unbeaten Lawrenson would explode.
