Would like us to drop Butt for Emre for this, reckon we'll need his creativity more than we need Butt.

Cheers Not very often both managers are spot on in their post-match interviews

What did he say for us unfortunate ones who does not possess previously mentioned channel? He was going insane on the touchline, fucking oozing with passion, absolutely superb! Swedish commentator said while Sam was going mad down there that he'd almost just as much just watch Allardyce

I think it's more that Sam wants three CM and don't want to drop either Milner or Zoggy

46.4 Possession 53.6

Wonder what this means for Arsenal. They've been cruising through this season, just being brilliant, but on Saturday in the second half, Villa came at them and outplayed them for parts of that game and we did the same throughout the game today. Will other teams too have learned how to play against them now or will they just pick it up again as soon as their best players return?

Was great today. Made one absolutely lovely tackle in the first half blueyes.gif

Aye he should, starting from Saturday. Emre should also start on Saturday

Milner was very important for us today. Only wide player and had a lot of ball and always did his best with it. Didn't deliver well though, but he was put under great pressure from Sagna and the Arse CB's are both very good, so I'm not holding Milner against it. Worked his socks off too, as always.

We were fucking immense today, tbh. Best performance from us I've seen in a long time. Perfect tactics from Sam against Arsenal, perfect formation and spot on on team selection today. Smith was a beast up front, doesn't pose much of a threat when we're on the ball, but he keeps winning headers and puts great pressure on the defence. MotM for me Beye had a great game too, as did Milner and to a slightly less extent Taylor.

Supporters are doing their best from what I can tell. Seems to be a good atmosphere

How's that? We've been on top of an extremely in-form Arsenal. One individual error and lack of luck is why we're 0-1 down at HT, not because of Sams tactics. not really 1 individual error, see my post on page 9, all 4 defenders were at fault, it was the 4 together that didfor us. It all went too quick, we didn't catch up with the break after Zog gave the ball away. We shouldn't be marking players when we got the ball

Fucking terrible decissions by the refs! Offside for the Arsenal goal Barton's booking was a joke, just because Toure or whoever it was ran up and told his teammate to stay down Barton got in the book. Disgrace Martins was never offside, and looked like he got the better of the defender. Plus, we've been very unlucky. The ball keeps bouncing away from us, and Taylors header was so close to going in. Keep it up the second half, and we should be able to get something from this

As long as we look like we're up for it, that's all we can ask. Arsenal are a cracking team at the moment, and we can't expect to get anything from them, even at home. Come on Newcastle!!

The pic when Martins is the only one to jump and wins the header is great

You actually red it?

Milan is in the World Cup for Club Teams so they have to play their final round of CL tonight

Howay Chez, you used my christmas hat!

Pardon my ignorance here, but what story from the papers was it that he had to explain to his grandmother?

I would be astonished if somebody never showed Chelsea vs QPR- West London Derby. Don't think your match will be on telly.

Either the team is shit or the manager is? Cant make up your mind? Because if as you say the players are has-beens, then they really arent good enough are they? In which case why expect miracles from the manager? Lets start with some basic logic tests. If A is bigger than B and B is bigger than C, is A bigger or smaller than C? Bigger

Canny! Will be able to watch in the pub if it's not on here!

Aye, Dave, you've shot yourself in the foot here Edit: Was a response to Yorkie's post, not yours Dave
