YEEEEEESSS! What a finish!

Great header from Nolan, superb.

Lovenkrands needs to come on. I accept that he's not a winger but we have NO ONE out there at the moment.

Good to see Ranger and Carroll up front but fucking hell - Nolan on the left and Butt in the middle?

That had me in stiches Threw Drogba to the floor then jumped up and tried the same on Essien!

City should be level, two great chances there.

BIG ANDY!

CORNER :frantic:

Me to, they've played some really enjoyable football in the qualifiers so far. Dzeko, Ibisevic, Muslimovic, Salihovic etc. can break down any defence. f*** off, there isn't a player called Muslimovic, whats he supposed to be a Russian Muslim? Why Russian when he is Bosnian? He's actually Swedish and called Zlatan too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlatan_Muslimovi%C4%87 Also, Ibrahimovic in English would be something like "Abrahamson" so there doesn't seem to be any real religious attachment to their names... Muslimovic was absolutely mint on CM 99/00. I assumed he didn't really exist though, a bit like Mads Jorgensen, Kennedy Bakircioglu, Tonton Zola Moukoko and Adrian Mihalcea. Bakircioglu plays for Ajax doesn't he?

Ibrahimovic just scored for Barca. 3-0 up against Gijon.

Lua Lua would be ideal with Leicester pushing up.

What a f***ing goal! Edit: forgot I paused it earlier :colo:

Howard climbs over Smith, Leicester get a free kick. Go figure.

Dunno if anyone just saw Graham Roberts on Soccer Extra just then but he was asked to shed some light on his bid for the club. Reckons there's a 75% chance of his lot taking over but admitted they don't have the full £100 million. Went into a bit of detail about how it would be run - supporters invest £10,000-£20,000 into the club and can appoint board members as well as a President. Said the scheme would make the club "very rich" and give Alan Shearer - their preferred choice as manager - a transfer budget of around £25-30 million for each year. He's also at the game tonight apparently.

Job done.

About fucking time. Guthrie on at last.

Please, please get Guthrie on. Desperately need some fresh legs in the midfield by the sounds.

Get some fucking subs on!

Come on Chris, get Guthrie on.

Come on.

How's Simpson done? Anyone know?

Everton applying for a work permit for Ever Banega on a loan.

Gutierrez running at a booked full back sounds promising

Looked alright so far imo. Honestly? 10 men behind the ball at all times and when the do win it they've lost it again within 5 seconds. Arsenal are doing a good job of closing them down though. Yeah, honestly. They've passed it around nicely and have contested well for posession. Mowbray knows Arsenal will bum them if Celtic go all out so a compromise in mentality is needed, hence a slightly more defensive approach which was working well up until that sucker punch. Still got Fortune and McDonald, their top scorer, yet to come on as well so there's time for change yet.
