Taylor Swift

Jonas

That run where Gutierrez skinned Rooney was fucking awesome. Not only was he fast and aware of shit around him, the cross with his left foot was dead-on as well.

Duff's been crap. He doesn't seem to feel the need to turn towards their goal at all. Every fucking flick is back towards our goal, even when he had a bunch of space in front of him (albeit a space that he just doesn't want to acknowledge). Guthrie's been good. He's quite quicker than I thought, and he's been very composed on the ball. He's dictating the tempo very well (slowing it down well on one occasion) and I like that he's harrying their players and putting himself about. Jonas. Already love the dude. Wish Milner would push up more or at least try something more positive with his passes because passing it back to Beye/Taylor is useless. We're not even keeping possession any longer because the defenders pump it back up anyway. Overall, a pretty good half, innit? We can win this. Howay the lads!

I'll take it. Not a bad half at all.

Jonas with a bad dive there

Have to say, our set-pieces today have all been put into a dangerous area. We look threatening all the time.

Jonas will be awesome here.

Carrick off. The traitorous motherfucking cunt. Fuck off.

Fuck off. Honestly, fuck off.

Martins!!!! Hahahahaha.

I understand trying to keep it tight for now, it's the sensible thing to do; but after half an hour or so, we're going to have to show something more than this.

Shay fucking Given

How the fuck is that not a foul?!

Baptism of fire for Colo

Let's try and get the ball out of the half, ok, lads?

Fuck off, you whinging cunts.

Campbell up front with a weak-ish midfield. A point is there if we're brave enough. Come on, boys.

What the fuck? I hope KK's thinking that Zoggy will be able to support the attack more than Enrique, especially with Fletcher playing on the right wing for them. If he genuinely thinks that Zoggy's a better LB than Enrique then we've got a problem.

O'Neill takes one in the face Comedy on show at Villa Park.

Elano mackems.gif Corner is lofted in from Petrov to the edge of the area, Elano runs up to hit it but instead runs into the referee and falls down.

I could never bet against us. More comfortable for the heart and the head to be on the same wavelength.

Man, you'd hate to be someone that Chez's pissed off at. Would have better if you went on another rant like you did in the Louise Taylor thread though

An hour and a half to go. Any team news?

Penalty, handball Distin. Lampard to take.

Ballack off, Malouda on.
