Carroll and Coloccini especially did very well, they both merit it. Coloccini not just for his defending but for his general play bringing the ball forward

He did well and I was pleasantly surprised to see him on the teamsheet before the game. Like Nolan, there's no way he should play two games a week mind.

Harper 7 Simpson 6 S Taylor 7.5 Coloccini 8 Enrique 6 Geremi 6.5 Smith 6 Barton 5 Lovenkrands 6 Nolan 5 Carroll 8 Guthrie 7 R Taylor 6 Ranger 6.5 Barton and Nolan were abysmal today, I was disgusted that Guthrie got left out, easy target. Toss up between Carroll and Coloccini for man of the match.

going on the last 2 performances geremi would be in before nolan. yep

If Bent continues like this he'll be going to South Africa

£750 so far in 2009 £2560 in 2008 - which is my biggest

I love a mental bet, shove a few draws in an otherwise blue chip set of selections and hey, £110,000 return

Bristol City and Charlton will fuck that one up

Bobby having to chose between starting a young Aaron Hughes and bringing in an old, experienced Colin Hendry that's how it's done Chris

I never said Ranger was crap, he's just young and if he starts it needs to be with someone experienced. Carroll as a footballer is poor but for this league he's ok, not ideal but worthy of the occassional start Colo is class in this league imo, Barton will eventually shine when he's played in his position (how well would Robert Lee have done on the wing?) Lovenkrands will easily get 1 in 2 in this league

Also dreamt that i'd win £6315, so i've just forumulated a £1.67 accumulator to win that very amount

Chelsea Everton Newcastle Liverpool Villa Leeds Arsenal £14 returns £200

Based on what? Based on common sense? You don't think Ranger or Carroll have the ability to put the ball in the back of the net from five yards? Carroll's already scored a couple of cracking headers which a lot of strikers wouldn't be able to pull off. I just don't think Lovenkrands is the answer to all our problems which some people seem to think, he's no better than the other strikers at the club, if at all better. I'd love him to do well I just don't think he's that good, hence the lack of interest from other clubs. Carroll and Ranger man one's never scored, the other averages 1 in 5

the fact he replaced Gary Speed with this tosser still pisses me off

And we all know Geremi has a superb knack of skinning players. Geremi has redeeming features though. He can cross as well as anyone in our team and still has good vision and an eye for a pass Lovenkrands as a striker or there's no point including him

Lovenkrands cannot run at people, sad fact but completely true Geremi and Guthrie on the wings, Barton and Smith in the centre, Lovenkrands and Carroll up front.

Why, oh why, oh why would you play Lovenkrands on the wing? it's ridiculous isn't it

People putting their nose up at Harewood need to look at our last 3 teamsheets

a very, very short fuse - yes. Hard as nails - in their own head, aye

I was watching that on tv and jumped so high I nearly went through the ceiling...one of my all time favourite goals. It helped that Ian St John who was co-commenting on Ch 5 nearly had a stroke he was so angry it was a 97-98 league game, was channel 5 even on the air then?

half a decade, but yeah

bring back Souness

did you blink and miss the Cardiff game? It was all the warning we needed
