If even Butt can do that today, we've got three points in the bag.

Guthrie on for Butt really needs to happen within the next five minutes.

OBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!)(#*$)(#@*$)(#@*$)@(#*$)@(#*$)@#*$ I would have this man's children if it were physically possible.

Guthrie on for Butt actually wouldn't be a bad change right about now.

have to be honest, as amazing as Jonas is, he's one hell of a diver.

wouldn't be a yellow if his name wasn't Joey Barton. Fuck me this is going to be a nervy 40 minutes of football.

Looking like the classic "completely knackered and forced inside our own half for 45 minutes in the second half" scenario

Already looking a bit tired... Worrying.

Class header from Milner

another sniping tackle from Beye. God, I love that.

Love Oba's boots. Heh

f*** off I'm a big fan of Barton, but if he wants people to give him a second chance then he needs to stop being a t*** like that and just walk away from things. What a terrible t*** he was again f*** off In general, it's just a bad idea to put your hands anywhere near an opposing player's face. Don't give the ref an excuse to be a dick and send you off. Especially when the media has pretty much branded you as the spawn of Satan.

Fuck this, I'm not going to class. Can't bear to miss the second half of this. We better fucking win.

Not really. Beye and Enrique playing excellently though.

When do we bring on Owen? is really going to be the key question. I wouldn't break up the side we have out there right now unless Martins tires rapidly.

It's a lack of fitness really. Our attacking players aren't fit enough to keep up the pace (Oba, Shola, Jonas, Barton) so we end up being very passive in the second period. Oba at least looks much more fit than he was in the last few games today, so hopefully he'll keep it up for 90 minutes.

Enrique rapes Milner repeatedly so he switches to the left, where he can be raped by Beye instead.

just thinking that meself Oba's shit when he's on the flank though. And we need a winger who can track back. I'd keep the team as it is until Oba tires and then bring Owen on. Maybe 70 minutes or so.

Nigel Reo-Coker looking really poor, having his ass handed to him by Barton and Jonas in rapid succession.

ALMOST! What was Taylor doing in the box?

thank god for Shay.

OOOOOH Oba. Almost. Good shot from a difficult angle.

Kinnear will bring on Owen for Martins instead of Ameobi. And fuck me I don't think I'd disagree with him.

Milner looking exactly like he was when he played for us. ie, not all that useful.

JFK's tactics actually seem to get more and more attacking with every passing game. We're pushing up very aggressively. Hope this means he's confident that we can keep this kind of work rate up for 90 minutes.
