We'll raise our game against Man United, we generally do against the better teams. Against Man City we'd have found it harder. Poor Gaweth Bawwy.

I know, that's not what I mean though, I meant let's reconvene in May and see how Routledge has done over a period of time, rather than whether he's been the signing that gets you promoted. Even I'm not harsh enough on one player to expect him to be a one-man-promotion-machine. Incidentally, if MON signed Nolan or Smith even, I would not be even remotely surprised

The most important result of the night last night. At last it has happened Dagenham & Redbridge 0-3 Notts County Davies 44 Hughes 47 Ogogo og 85

No biggie. Just expressing my point of view. Just feel there were a lot of other reasons why he would have been so poor then. We can only hope for the best afterall. If we don't get Vaughan can we have Delfouneso by the way? That boy is so promising. Yup, seems like it would be a good time for him to get more games on loan, but O'Neill doesn't seem too thrilled by the idea. We're too short up front, sadly. Last season was the time to send him on loan, I think.

He'd done nothing at all at Spurs. He went to Portsmouth on loan and did nothing. He went to Fulham on loan and did nothing. Came to us, did nothing. Went to Cardiff on loan, did nothing. He's been at QPR, what, a year? As I said, though, let's see how it pans out.

Tell you what, don't want to keep banging on, so let's reconvene here in May and see how it went.

I hope he works out for you, as I did Marlinho, just saying it as i saw it. He was down there with Didier Agathe as a signing for us.

Robertson's a great coach, but there's only so much turd polishing you can engage in. Maybe Routledge didn't like the stench of 60 B&H a day, and therefore didn't bond with him or something. Or maybe I'm wrong, and he's actually the reincarnation of Garrincha, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

and brummie always laid into Reo-Coker as well which I didn't think was 100% warranted. Maybe it takes relegation and spending 6ok a week on other teams cast-offs to appreciate players values with a level head. I appreciate you all want him to do well, but honestly, trust me, he's fucking shite. You think Milner's crosses hit the first man all the time, at least he tried to get a cross in, Routledge is useless, if he can't knock it past the defender and beat him for pace, he hasn't got a fucking clue. What's more, he's got a dreadful attitude, slouches around doing nothing and hiding from the ball. When Marlon signed for you, I was quite honest in saying I tohught he'd do well at that level. Routledge won't though. He's not good enough. Sorry. As for NRC, can't pass three yards, blissfully unaware of the game going on around him, runs into brick walls. Has the first touch of a rapist. Routledge is worse, though. Can he run fast? Faster than the wind.

Is it still de rigeur to use the word "naive" whilst talking about African teams? Can't wait to hear that old chestnut over and over again at the World Cup in the summer. Talking of African teams, every time I hear Cameroon mentioned, my mind goes back to the first game of the 1990 World Cup, watching Cameroon beat Argentina in the Cradlewell in Jesmond on the day of my last final exam, and a toothless, pissed-as-fuck 80 something bloke constantly shouting "it's the Cameroons, man, they're bettah than Brazil!" over and over. That was my last engagement with African football.

Blackburn fans were singing something to the tune of the Blaydon Races on Wednesday.

Me too. He's a bit like a provincial accountant, who at the weekends manages an under 10s team, and treats every match like the world cup final. I hope City get fucked over here. They just got out of jail once already.

I am increasingly convinced that this year will see our 8th FA Cup victory and first for 53 fucking years.

Oh, and talking of other games, Birmingham 15 matches unbeaten now. I have to say, that's pretty impressive.

Just under 40k at our match today - tickets 15 quid. Surely that's the way to save the FA Cup? Cheap tickets.

He's been dodgy most of this season. Crossing gone slightly to shit. He's a pain in the arse for the opposition, though, even when his crosses sail in 3 feet too high

Villa 2 - Brighton 1, Ashley Young. Another goal on the break.

Everton 0 - The Dogshit 1

Sidwell anywhere on the pitch = worrying.

Us against Brighton today. Guzan Young Beye Collins Warnock Downing Sidwell Delph Albrighton A. Young Delfouneso Assume he'll play Young up front with Delfouneso. Wish I'd gone now, that looks a bit of a different line-up

Beye starting for us today, at centre half.
