Just got back, I really don't know what to say about one of the most bizzare matches I've ever seen so I'll just say that the bedlam when Cabaye's free-kick went in was extraordinary, I don't think anybody had stopped celebrating until well after the final whistle had gone!

Excellent save from Krul, sloppy start so far ...

I don't know, you know Encglish football better than me... Hard tackles you know, cup game, lower team... I really don't want him to get injured, he has given enough in terms of injuries. Just another (maybe, surely stupid) question : do you know if he is well appreciated by his team-mates ? I would imagine all our players appreciate his talents and know how important his creativity is to the side, our team spirit is also very good and he appears to be well liked as a person as well as a player by everyone at the club.

Who's Shola getting sucked off by in this one?

"You're thinking 'who's Ben Arfa?'" Fucking hell ;D

Equalised

Christ what's Enrique playing at?!

Jose's had a shocker keeping them both onside there, well done Krul

Just seen the goal again, fucking awful from Charlie Adam to give it away there, very tidy finish from Loven though

Looked onside that from Shola

Goal! Lovenkrands, nice strike

They nearly scored then, good ball across goal and GTF couldn't quite reach it

Encouraging how fucking dreadful Blackpool's defence was for that chance though

Gah, should have scored there, Shola slipped

Should that have been a pen? Hard to tell on my woeful stream.

Gonna get raped here, 3-0 already. I'm going for 6 or 7.

Bale definitely coming off for Bassong, great news for us.

Bale struggling, radio London commentators reckon he'll be coming off.

Souness and Poyet in the studio

Gah, at least we're at home.

Just had a look on The Guardian's Chalkboard feature, he made 43 passes, all successful. Interestingly (if you're a sad b****** like me), Enrique made more passes than anyone else on our team, 53. Jose Er, yeah, but only 42 successful I know, I was just surprised he'd attempted the most. I can forgive him the stray passes.

I don't think there's much doubt over his shot stopping ability, in the limited time he's had in the first team he's pulled off 2 or 3 very good saves, but we'll certainly find out how capable he is dealing with direct teams that love putting pressure on keepers when Stoke turn up on Sunday. Long throws and deep crosses ahoy! I think he'll be fine, he looks promising.

Tenner on Stoke who are 10/11 against the appallingly shit West Ham. Might put some on them to win to nil as well.
