Replacing this lad with that Scouse podger Guthrie is a horrifying thought. Validate your ankle man!

I did a google translate and got "Blanc: Cabaye's ankle no longer valid."

Doubtful for Euro 2012 I heard

You forgot Scotland. Probably the easiest draw of the lot for the Republic if they can secure 2nd place

Bosnia, Montenegro & Estonia (and possibly Armenia) all potentially in the playoffs, unthinkable a few years ago.

He's away with Slovenia

Of course they do, we're punching above our weight at the moment and whilst anybody can beat anybody on the day, man for man they are better than us.

He was obviously going to say that though. uh huh Aim: Get 40 points, then play Guthrie & Lovenkrands until season ends to give other teams chance to catch up. Nice guy Pards.

I'm a bit ignorant of Spurs' habits, does Modric often play "in the hole" or is that just what you want to see?

No Defoe in the 18 KD?

Still 4 weeks away according to one of the papers last week, chronicle I think. So 2 weeks by the time we play again.

last summer I was just surprised they found a buyer why isn't Foster in Foster's taking a break from Internationals or some shit. Speaks volumes that Forster is not even considered with some of the shit backups we have. Pleased for Zam Zam Bobelo. I always enjoy the token comedy player but think he does a fairly decent target man job these days.

Coquelin ahead of Frimpong? Whatever.

Sturridge and Elmander. the former wasn't even there was he? Going down to 10 men probably didn't help our cause either. Tiote was suspended as well, think everybody's favourite Yorkshireman played

I just think all the boxes are ticked for a struggling team. Best player unsettled and performing poorly, previous best performers getting older, bad form at the end of previous season, signing David N'Gog, lose best player from previous season, good players injured. Obviously it's been a tough start but when players see themselves bottom of the table it's difficult to get over that mentality, and losing at home to Norwich won't have helped.

Coyle isn't a brilliant manager though. Glad you said it. Did well with Burnley but after a decent start with Bolton their form has mirrored Sunderland's more or less but with a decent cup run. Their squad is shit and only going to get worse when Cahill leaves. Davies has been their talisman for a while but can't go on forever, he's already 34 or something. Look at their team ffs, Reo-Coker, Gardner & Pratley in a central 3, Paul Robinson at left back. Do me a fucking favour.

I feel bad as I just burst out laughing. Silly Bogdan. Silly Bolton.

Adebayor always rapes us, hopefully Arsenal bring Keown out of retirement today to wind him up.

He's exceptional, but yesterday was a wake up call to all the hyperbole on here, he was fortunate not to cost us two goals. Which two 'goals' were these? I'd imagine being in no mans land when Krul came out to save from Doyle, I think it was, and getting caught out dicking around on the touchline instead of booting it out when Fletcher should've scored. Aye he tried to shepherd it out and got mugged, led to the Krul double save.

Think it'll be a draw, shudder to think what will happen with Bale vs Simpson

You lost the points because Newcastle conceded, it updates clean sheets after 60 minutes so you would have been 8 points better off up until Wolves scored.

Up to 5th after an erotic day

He's been dying to get Lovenkrands on the last couple of games, remember him saying "he should have come on" against Blackburn. Guess it's good man management, he scored two in the cup so should be "rewarded" with some league minutes. However, he only get cup minutes for a reason as he's just not good enough, if he doesn't like it he's welcome to leave.

Need to see out this Wolves pressure before half time.
