Be surprised if we see Colo, but Cabaye could certainly do with an hour or so.

Harsh on Bobby when it was Souness who sold him. In that case I take it back, I thought it was Bobby. Apologies to the great man. Point still stands in relation to it being bad business though.

Aaron Hughes has played about 220 PL games since we let him go for £1 million. I know it's oft said, but that is still for me one of the worst decisions Sir Bob made.

These new boxes the club were talking about, will these then take up those seats immediately underneath the away fans in the Leazes? Think it might have been called Level 6?

Yea maybe you're right, just seems like it could all be done a bit more efficiently. It's probably only me with an axe to grind as I'm staying in Somerset at the moment so need to know whether to book a train up on the Saturday, or not bother until the day of the Brugge home game.

Apparently theres 750ish fans with 100 or more points and not all applied but dont know the exact numbers. Either was about 800+ tickets left for other applicants. Odd how they set the bar so high if there are only 750 on 100+ points. Maybe not for this one, but Sunderland for example surely it would make more sense to set the number of points in line with the number of tickets available. Gives them a chance to sort through the applications without being swamped. We've only got 2400 tickets for Sunderland anyway and the number of points has already dropped to 75. They don't sort through applications though they're done online for the mackem game. If there's 2400 tickets I don't get why they don't look at the list and find out the number of points the 2400th person is (making adjustments for the fact that there will be lots of people on the same number) and then start the cut off there. If they did this then they could drop the points accordingly, rather than dropping in 25s. At the moment someone on 74 points is treated the same as someone on 51.

Lost at home in the relegation season. 1-1 was at OT. Think Lovenkrands scored to put us one up, but we lost 3-1 or something?

Good luck to him if he goes for it.

Hasn't worked for the best part of two years, can't see it changing.

Was pretty quiet by his standards.

Could, we all know what that means.

Think this will be his 5th season playing reserve team football. Guess if he's going to make it here, he's got to be getting a few minutes in the first team at some point in the next 8/9 months.

Was excellent tonight, both on the left and the right.

Shame, just didn't really have enough in us to get at them when we really needed to.

Pards going mental at the ref for playing on and not giving the free kick.

Bigi for Tiote?

We can get at their back 4, just got to keep it tight at the back and not leave too much space.

None of Man U's midfield even fancy going in for a 50/50 with Tiote.

Thanks for that.

Get Papiss on for Haris and we can cause problems.

Elliot: Perch, Willo, Colo, Tav: Obertan, Tiote, Gosling, Marv: Vuckic, Shola

Didn't look to be honest mate. It's Skybet though so I'd be surprised if it wasn't just the normal withdrawal procedure.

Skybet give you a £10 free bet just for signing up. It's in your account straight away. Stuck it on us to win in 90 tonight at 11/2.

By the way we are 6/1 to win this on Betfair. I guess you are taking a gamble on the sides that will be put out, but it is still a decent price.
