Good spell this

Colo always seems to struggle against physical strikers. Hope he sorts it out soon. Not better against pacy strikers, way too slow on the turn.

Viduka's mum can probably turn faster than Coloccini...

Smith plays it off the head of the referee...

Beautiful cross

Butt assist, great cross!

SAYLLLLLLLLORRRRRRRRRR

Far from a sitter to be honest.

So far our gameplan seems to be the following: 1. Smith, Geremi and Butt pass the ball around between them around the midfield circle til Hull gets all their players in defensive positions 2. Give the ball to Geremi who is standing 40 yards from goal, lob the ball into the box towards our 1.70m strikers. repeat

Is Geremi on the right then? Yup, or on second thought doesn't seem anyone is on the right. Geremi seems to be playing a bit in front of Smith and Butt so I don't really know what we're trying to do...

Butt and Smith are playing so tight together that you'd think Smith's hand was glued to Butt's butt.

Martins over the bar from a decent chance, nice move from Jonas & Geremi.

Don't think Smith has touched the ball so far, they are bossing us around in the midfield area.

Weak defending... we have 4 defenders in the box against their one midfielder and we allow him to head the ball in at the far post.

Martins and Owen, we'll destroy them!

THAT IS BRILLIANT (caps intended) What comic is that? Pondus, norwegian comic strip about a fanatical Liverpool fan and his friends. My favorite newspaper comic strip by far, there was one in the paper today I just need to post and translate, had me in stitches. Not the best of translations, but here goes (remember, this guy is the biggest Liverpool fan in the world) http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3428/pondus.jpg 1. Son: Football Manager? Pondus: OH YEAH, I love this game! 2. Pondus: Although he is injured, I've just bought Joseph Alastair from Woking for 100m pounds. 3. Son: Are you managing Man U yet again? Pondus: Yes! I sold Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo for a penny 4. Son: How long do you think you'll last? Pondus: I was hoping to see the season through but after an 8-1 defeat to QPR they are getting skeptical, I'm being watched! Oh oh...

6-1

He is born in 92 and Kinnear managed Wimbeldon from 92-99, kid must have one hell of a memory. edit: Wullie beat me to it

he relies on the players around him, always will. Owen might do ok for Man City but at nufc where the creativity is limited at best he'll probably continue his 1 in 8 form. What do people see in Owen? He's a cunt who couldn't care less about nufc, his sheer presence as captain will most likely bring team morale down, and he certainly demostrates no leadership capabilties. His game is all about goals and nothing more and right now I don't trust him to score them. Lovenkrands at least will work hard and scare teams with his pace. Anyone can score penalties, if Shola scored 8 goals all season all from the spot you wouldn't say he has a 1 in 4 record now would you? How many penalties has Owen scored from this season? I can't remember any

8 goals in 19 league games, you'd think that was as good as it gets for a striker in a bottom 5 side. For comparison: Santa Cruz 4 in 19 Crouch 8 in 27 Alves 4 in 24 Jones 7 in 18 Cisse 9 in 25 Fuller 6 in 23 Pavluchenko 3 in 21 Bent 9 in 24 Defoe 6 in 22 (statstaken from skysports.) Yet some people talk about Owen as if he was on par with Ameobi.

I just knew that Saylor would cost us a point with his arm flapping (Rooney's shot was deflected by his arm), he is like pre-mature bird flapping those arms like crazy.

Been like that most games this season to be honest, makes ya wonder if we are ever going to sign an attacking midfielder.

Can't believe he hasn't scored 500 goals this second half. Disappointing performance. Get him off. Think he has been our best player tonight along with Bassong

Tried to chest the ball down, only managed to chest it down 1 yard ahead off him straight into the run of Park. His set-pieces have also been wank today.
