dont you just love the word "apparently".

Heard that too. You dont sell your best players..... thats why hes gone mate.

Usually I would be pissed off at a draw like this but I'm pretty optimistic we'll be able to go through.

It really is a joke!

Thats a pretty much bollocks tbh. Even if Keegan does prefer Milner on the wing to N'Zogbia, he's not going to keep playing the same player every single game regardless of form, not to mention injuries. He'll get his share of games and it will be up to him to keep his place/takes his chance when he gets it.

Komany to Man City apparently... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/7574920.stm Edit: Nevermind, just seen the previous page....

Given was back to his usual self yesterday. Harper has probably had a major part in Given upping his game. Either that or Given's just finally gotten over his injuries. My only gripe with Given yesterday (and this is something I dunno if he will ever change) was that we were trying to build on our play and retain posession and when the ball was played back to Given, he just kicked it up field and the posession just went straight back to the opposition.

Berry Good!!!

This season is a very big season for Taylor tbf. He's (hopefully) got a top partner next to him, and it could bring him on a lot. There wont be any excuses after this year.

I notice people keep going on about having Taiwo at Left Back, have we actually been linked with him?

didnt see him wipe it on Colo!

Shit Fergie wants him!

Sorry what do you mean by no engine? He had to be very disciplined today due to the opposition. He didnt looked any more tired than anyone else come the end of the match either.

"Nice Suit!"

Very happy with the result, was shitting myself at the end, I just had it in my head that they'd get a lucky goal as they usually do. Guttierez is quality judging by what I've seen, very hard working and helped Nzogbia not get too exposed. Very impressed with Guthrie, just sits and passes the ball simple. If we can get a midfielder along side him that can push on it could work well. Nzogbia was quite poor second half, and Duff was quieter than the first. Overall, very happy, good confidence boost, hopefully more will come in and we will keep improving.

I dont know why most people are so insistent on getting Duff off, he hasnt played bad.

Been very impressed with Guthrie, cant recall him losing the ball once. Playing it simple and keeping the ball moving. Jonas has looked decent as well, made Rooney look like a cunt with one of his runs. Colo started a bit shaky but has looked alright since. Although we're trying to play the ball about, we're still causing our own problems at times. Butt hasnt played bad but made a shocking pass early on.

Potentially true. If the midfield above is what they're going to be starting with though I think we would be more likely to get away with it as there isnt the worlds most pace there.

This is what I think it will be (maybe Cacapa in for Colo). From what we've got available I'd be content to see that line-up.

3 at the back? Fuck that!

Good to see Adebayors looked gash today!

Ismael Miller looks like he can put himself about a bit.

My mates a Spurs fan and is usually overly critical of his team and reckons Woodgates been class for them since signing. Oh don't get me wrong I'm still a big fan of the lad and he definitely upped his game when moving to Tottenham last season as opposed to his form at Burra, but like I said I don't think he's the player we had, he's far away from that. And with his attitude and fitnesss, I'd take someone like Colo every time. As you're guaranteed to get more out of him. tbh I agree with you. Didnt realise his attitude was wrong though?? If you'd ever have seen him out in Middlesbrough you'd know what he means. Him and his mates are fucking twats. Oh right, I always thought he'd sorted himself out since the Leeds incident.
