Even without Ben Arfa we looked very well organized. We did some good passing as well. I'm actually quite confidence we can get a good result from today.

Think Barton looked very very good for us, as did Jonas. And I love how Krul did it against Tevez.

It seems we got our injury luck back.

Because he's been awful lately. Yeah, and Shola has been brilliant...

Just came in, why is Carroll only on the bench?

Hope it will take place. And then I hope our players can cope better with the wet pitch than they can.

I'm tempted by £4 on this.. but may go for something more sensible. ... for example throwing the coins at other people?

Just put 25 € on us (dnb).

I heard that Marky555 has put £6.000 on it.

Does anyone know when it will be announced which games after November 30th of us will be moved for SKY/ESPN? I want to come over for the Liverpool home match but I have to know if it's on Sat/Sun/Mon first before I can book my flight/hotel.

Well that was shit. Thanks Barca.

13 € on Barca/Spurs double 2 € on Inter, Schalke, Spurs, Lyon (dnb), Barca, Man U (dnb), Rangers.

I'll be very surprised if there is anything but an AC win today. Me too. On the other hand, I was surprised to see Mainz beating Bayern, WBA beating Arsenal, Man Utd only drawing and Real Madrid not winning at the weekend. This is football in the end.

3 € on Bayern, Chelsea, Ajax - AC Milan to draw, Braga - Donezk to draw. Returns 90€. 7 € on Thomas Müller to score tonight. Returns 21€.

We could try Lovenkrands & Carroll. They at least know how to play together from the Championship (I know, it's a different level and all that, but still).

People would question Shearer's, Kinnear's, Sir Bobbie's, Keegan's and even Mourinho's tactics if we were losing 2-1 to Stoke City. We have improved very much, we're playing decent football, only the second half performance let us down this time. Against Blackpool, converting chances let us down. Give Hughton time, he's done so much for this club, he deserves credit and he deserves time to get things right in the Premier League like he did in the Championship.

The thing is, though, that with the squad we have, we should be able to get into mid table without being too much in a relegation battle.

Still.

A lot of the back passes were on the Krul's right foot (his wrong foot), but that's no real excuse. Can't say I heard any boos at half time. Given and Harper could/can both use their left foot to clear the ball adequately, it worries me that Krul won't go with his right. Krul did use his right foot today.

Still, a home game against them - we should have won that. And considering how good we have been first half it only confirms that for me.

6 points dropped. Those were the games we had to win.

Aye, the time Tiote went off, we were already 2-1 behind. Wrong. Sry, just checked it. I was wrong.
