Absolutely loved Chris Waddle as a player. As a commentator I wish he'd fuck off.

Why didn't I listen?

Do crackheads compile that list? Bit of a headscratcher some of those scores.

Was pretty good on MOTD2 but no repeat of his infamous 'raped him' comment.

Don't think Wolves are the bad a side and don't think we were especially bad today. We all know where our strengths and weaknesses lie - one unlucky deflection and a poor Williamson header aside it should have been a different story. Yeah ideally we should win these games but remember we just came off a 5-0 hammering ourselves. Everyone expects us to play this certain type of football which is fine, but our strengths lie in our ability to close teams down and then hit our strikers directly for attacking opportunities. We can pass the ball when we need to, just seems we turn to jelly when teams hit back at us. That's a worry of course and some of the players need to take responsibility for their performances in the last half an hour of games.

Same formation I used to use in CM97/98 - don't think it's worked since.

Don't think him being a CF is that random to be honest. Probably the position I'd give him, that or AMC.

Glad I didn't book a train up from London for the Norwich game like I was going to. Lucky escape there.

Daniel le Simpsone.

OCK has got it absolutely spot on. Personally I'd give him the time, but they do need a bit of an overhaul and that's easier said than done in football. Especially when other clubs are aware of it and will set crazy asking prices for their players.

Think we'll go 4-5-1 with Cisse dropping to the bench now Pardew has used the 'international travel' excuse in a recent interview. Be interesting to see if we do how much freedom the CM's are given to push forward and support Ba. EDIT: Actually realise that's probably bollocks as international week is after the Wolves game. Still think there's a chance of a 4-5-1 but for none of the reasons above.

Left out the starting line up today.

Gai Assulin has signed for Brighton on loan. CM/FM classic!

Lovenkrands linked to Cardiff again on loan. Would be surprised if he went now Best is out and Vuckic is already there.

Yeah a mate at work is a massive Huddersfield fan and some of that is justified, especially with the amounts spent. Rumours he applied for the Leeds job, didn't get it then Huddersfield found out and sacked him. Probably bollocks mind.

Why on earth has the BBC got highlights for the Championship, but not for any midweek games? Bit of a shambles that.

Most the backroom staff gone too, means Terry Mac is out of a job as well.

Meh, gambled with two up front, we were just totally outclassed, Adebayor and Saha tore strips out of Willo and Simpson - let's be honest, Parker, Bale and Modric v Perch, Obertan and Guthrie is just a no contest. Given his options can't blame Pards too much today, some players just didn't show up.

Pass completion today must be around 20%. Shocking.

Him and Obertan on one side really is asking for disaster to be fair.

Got to feel for him, especially as he was pushing for inclusion at Euro 2012. Looked quite innoucious at the time too.

Reckon he'll play about two games as substitute then come back. Just get a horrible feeling about it.

Great result that, who is it next round?

Jonas worked so hard today, was stupid to not pass it back to Santon which in a roundabout way cost us a goal but really dug in.
