Did he save one from Baros at Villa park?

Shay saves a pen, rebound in like but fucking hell

How do you think I feel, my second team is Norwich

Pen to City, Elano 3-0

"We'll be back after the break" "What a goal" The suspense!!!

Who is that fat child at the top of this page who keeps pointing at me, it's unnerving

Hopefully Stoke lose and get a rocket up their arses next week against Hull

Fuck you David James, why couldn't you fuck up on Monday

Chelsea 2-1 up now, Malouda

1-1

Chelseaa lead very early on, Anelka

If only we can get out of this weekend without a huge dent in our goal difference and Hull and the mackems failing to win..

Viduka is so lazy

The same source that told him there wasn't much difference between us and them back in December

1 out of 1 for it so far in terms of clean sheets this season And no, I don't count the Hull home game under Hughton

5-1

Vukic lad

Nice free kick in fairness

Probably the old chestnut between "The Champions League" and "The European Cup"

Liverpool have Degen, Plessis, N'Gog, El Zhar all playing, all have featured in the first team.

4-3-3, rest Martins for the home games and play Lovenkrands. Make sure Lovenkrands works the channels, something we didn't do enough on Monday. If it was up to me Geremi would play too but I think that ship has sailed. So we're looking at: Harper Beye Colo Bassong Edgar Butt Smith Duff Owen Viduka Lovenkrands So you've got the back 4 which just sit and don't over commit, Edgar in for his height against Kuyt. It will basically end up with Butt and Smith sitting in front of the back 4, Duff milling about aimlessly as usual. Lovenkrands working the channels should pull a centre half out with him and that gives Viduka and Owen some extra space to work in. Problem we'll have is if the full backs just sit there is no width whatsover, and we'll soon get pressed off the ball as Mascherano/Alonso/Gerrard go mental.

Because Kuyt isn't an out an out winger I wouldn't be shocked to see a return of the lopsided 3-4-3 or whatever it is. Alternatively play Edgar at left back as he should do okay in the air against Kuyt.

My favourite Pleat moment tonight was early on when he finally lost patience with Tyldesley: Tyldesley: [Cech clears ball down field straight to Valdes] Does that go down as a shot on goal? Pleat: *Notable sigh* If you want it to...

agreed about the Hull-Stoke game, stoke are safe and will take their foot off the pedal, hull are huge favourites for that game imo. i think Hull will get 3 or 4 points more than they have now so we need 6 or 7 and atm thta looks like it is asking too much. What about Sunderland like? They have a home game against a team in the cup final who to a man will be terrified of getting injured having seen what happened to Jagielka, 2 away games against teams who will be safe, and a home game against a side who may have 2 finals to come. They'll get the points if they need them.
