'That lot' in which you billed as a good side and thought we'd be comfortably beaten by? I thought we'd be beaten, yes. Comfortably? I don't remember saying that. They're a better team than us. Seeing them getting destroyed like that is worrying.

We could easily have been 2-0 down to that lot a few weeks back.

Man City Liverpool Ipswich Man U (dnb) Spurs (dnb) £30 returns £215.

If we lose to this lot in the same manner we lost to Stoke, there'll be hell to pay.

Wigan have a nasty habit of winning games every so often.

Getting points of Blackpool and Stoke would do me. Someone ban this half-wit, please.

I was only messing. I'm sure you'll have a hell of a time.

Our best CB at RB. Carroll on the wing next.

Saw him on Soccer AM a few weeks back with big Audley. Pleading for a club, bless him.

It's either a massive flaw in judgement, or outright cowardice. Either way, it sadly needs to be addressed before we hit March and need to get points at places like Stoke, Liverpool and Chelsea to survive.

I don't think it's premature at all, it shows that he's not cut out to be boss.

Given that one defender headed one into his own net from outside the six yard box I'd question whether this is entirely true. If Krul had come off his line we could point a bigger finger.

The defenders did ok with the aerial ball, in fairness. The free headers were mainly occuring in the 6 yard box, which is Krul's territory.

Yes.

Based on what?

Yeah, playing City without a defensive midfielder, that'll happen.

None whatsoever.

Tiote?

That must be the fourth time I've read about your trip to Vegas.

Cahill's last 3 PL season stats compared to Nolan's would probably make imbalanced reading, tbh.

He didn't have a Bellamy in the Championship. Lovenkrands is small and that's where the similarity ends. We whipped lots of crosses into the box and he was usually quicker, smarter and bigger than the defender marking him.

We'll beat this lot.

I hope it's why we're keeping them. We got rid of Geremi, we can get rid of those 4.

Time will tell. He isn't a top striker yet but I've been very impressed with him since around February, and he hasn't looked out of his depth in the big league whatsover. Needs legs and intelligence around him to be fully effective in our new system.

Lovenkrands will be on about 10k. Shola perhaps a bit more.
