Should have been a yellow for Nolan but that evens out the Hibbert thing.

Tiote's been our best player, imo.

Us and French wingers There's just something magical about it.

Welcome to 2003-4.

Excellent half. They haven't had a good chance yet. We haven't created anything decent, either, but we just look so organised.

Has the ball 25 yards outside the penalty area, no movement from our players, shifts the ball onto his left, BANG, straight into the top left hand corner of Howard's goal. Unsaveable. Fucking epic.

WHAT A HIT!

BEN ARFA!!!!

He's a good player but the fact that Smith's his predecessor makes him an instant legend.

Tiote's class.

Interpolic, I can't take you seriously with that avatar, man. It's such a distraction in a thread like this.

Has to be a yellow for Beckford, that cunt.

Perch, man, don't try to be the hero.

We're better than Man United with this line-up, tbh.

Dare I say it, but I think we might score here sooner rather than later...

Ben Arfa takes that shot in a month or two.

Tiote looks like he's got an engine on him. Ben Arfa's floating about but our passing's just not been good enough so far. Defensively we look like slightly shaky, especially our right. Routledge's not really gotten into the game so far, and Carroll has been invisible (well marked by the two Everton CBs). The less said about Nolan the better.

How is that not a yellow for Hibbert?

Tiote with a shot Smith's time with us is OVER.

Good play from Tiote

Tiote looks like he can run. That's already an improvement over Smith.

Decent burst by Enrique, good cross. Nice play all around.

No time on the ball for our players. I suppose if we can string three or four passes together, we'll be through, but I'm not sure we have that much quality in the team.

That's awesome news, if true. Well done, Hughton.
