We seem to be relatively free of injuries now

Bring in Strachan

I'd like Strachan

2 wins in our last 13 games and both of those wins game with goals in the 90th minute. We are playing s***.

Very weird timing...

Look forward seeing how Robert will do for Derby, a shame we have already played both our games against them

You sure he wasn't trying to pass the ball? I can't really see any difference between his shots and his crosses, the ball always ends up at the cornerflag/parking lot.

We've only won 2 out of our last 13 games

" K.a.Z.e.N.g.A's Interests Movies:You got served, silent hill and scary movie 1,2,3,4" We need to introduce him to some better movies.....

"I'm disappointed over the 90 minutes not to have won but it's a very good draw and we will try to finish the job at St James' Park. "We dealt with their size and strength very well and but for 15 minutes they didn't cause us too many problems. "Overall it was a satisfying performance. We should have broken them down better than we did, but still had many chances to win it." -Wtf is a very good draw? Drawing against a team in a league below us and having to play an extra game. Yeah a great draw Sam, keep em coming.

Bring on Manure!

SMITH OUT !!!!!!!!1

Bit harsh on Duff - there always seems to be two on him, so Stoke obviously see him as a threat. N'Zogbia looks like he wants to play through the middle. When he gets the ball he makes a beeline for that space.

He's easily one of the most invisible players we've ever had. - || -

Selection justified then! Looking at that bench our squad is getting pretty thin, with Faye set to go to the ACN too we could do with getting in some new faces sharpish. What the f*** ANOTHER ankle injury? How weak are his ankles?

Bramble hammers the ball in for Wigan

What are the fans chanting?

Great pass from N'Zogbia!

i'm losing patience with him, tbh. He's hardly improved since he's been here. I'd snap their cock off if anyone now offers 13m for him. Worst passer in the team tbh...

If Faye had made the same tackle on Elano it would have been red like..

Dear Sam, never play 4-3-3 again. That is all.
