sounds passionate, i fuckin missed the 1st 20 minutes! have i missed much? got the radio on now, sounds mental

I agree we don't need to be over attack we just need to pressure them high up when they have the ball. Only Barry and A.Young are what i would class as good passing players, the rest will be prone to errors if they are hurried. We need to be offensive without being irresponsible. Unfortunately this sort of thinking is far beyond JFK. The idea of fighting fire with fire by using our quick players is a good one although I said yesterday I'd prefer Zog in for Duff in this one. I just have a horrible feeling Duff is going to fail to show up tonight, Zog's got a bit more fight in him if the going gets tough. Which it will. Is Zog just out of favour at the moment because he's far more useful than duff right now. I'm guessing JK hasn't seen enough of him to think hes a better choice? Hopefully he'll get a game soon. Personally I see charly pissing off in the summer unless we get a quality manager and owner combo coming in, same goes for some other players too I guess.

Barton has to start, the guy needs games. Ideally I'd have Guthrie with him too although I'm sure Butt will play. As long as Barton plays thats the main thing, hes very vocal and needs to gain sharpness. As long as we win, thats the main thing but of course that first 20 minutes is crucial, if we can keep them quiet a while then we can push forward. Hope Jonas rapes their wingbacks!

I've got a feeling we're gonna win! Score will be 2-1. Barton and Coloccini to score.

Its great to have him back. I'm guessing he's best on the left but because Geremi isn't really sufficient cover for a right wing, we'll have to keep him on the right. We have Duff and Zoggy on the left, so we're just going to have to keep Jonas right sided for now. Geremi will do as backup but hes not a winger, hes mainly a central midfielder.......who can't cross or take corners without hitting the 1st man. Jonas is flexible enough to play either wing well, thats why hes so important to us

This a toughy. As said, if we match their workrate then we can win this, although our players will need to concentrate throughout. My early prediction is 2-1 win! Jonas and guthrie with the goals

...as a toon supporter you now need to be using Firefox. Jonas has lead the way and we need to follow his example; so basically you're not a proper toon fan if you don't use Firefox.. You're not using IE are you?!

some funny 'Arry quotes here, love the Dani one, haha http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/Galleries/0,,12555~1432929,00.html?imageNo=1

fantastic penalty from joey, well done son so happy with the win, 3 points, the only way is up - literally

2-1 - here we go lads, always making things difficult for ourselves. Too much inviting of west brom onto us and thats what we get

any of you guys smiling like a loon right now? after such a torrid time of late this, this feeling of scoring and possibly winning is like a slap of joy in my face!

cracking half, well done lads! we need this so badly

(my favourite player at the toon right now) jonas apparently playing very well

this is just one of the big reasons we need to play him all the time, we've not had any talkers for ages. replacing butt with joey should be automatic from now on ......oooh, unlucky shot beye!

saved shay

malcolm mcdonald is talking about Jonas as if hes shit ARGH stfu you clueless twat. Excellent football from us so far.

Joey close! I'm listening to Century and Malcolm McDonald is talking complete and UTTER SHIT. fuck sake, wish he'd shut up.

keep us updated, maybe he knows about developments?............ah who knows.....sick of speculation now, I need stability....

pure legend, he's like a new Nobby imo, like his effort, the way he plays, skills, the full lot!

I was in wetherspoons in sunderland for the man city match and me and my mate were shoutin so loud whenever we scored or came close. Was hilarious, got so many dodgy looks and comments.

any money beye will score an own goal now, haha. I hope jonas is back too, I'd say he could be our most important player for us, hes at least as important as owen and given in my eyes.

Yep I agree with both, especially guth and joey, I'm actually really looking forward to them biting in midfield - hopefully not literally. Barton was looking solid at the end of last season....we shall find out I guess....
