2-0; dominant home performance but lacking in cutting edge. Pair from Sanchez late on.

Put an acca on the CL tonight; 7/8 correct, had a draw in the City/Roma game. Was on for £308 from a £2.50 bet, gutted.

He's getting FM mixed up with the first Diablo game. I broke a mouse playing that where you had to click to take steps.

When he scored I was dreading a Liverpool winning goal, because the fap-fest over him would have been absolutely unbearable. He was absolutely shite last night bar the free kick, he just doesn't have the influence on the game anymore.

Juve/Atleti Monaco/Zenit Benfica/Bayer Gala/Arsenal All draws, 126/1, £1. Not sure where else is worth placing though.

Trying to work out where to go with the CL tonight!

You don't put pressure on your only choice goalkeeper like, it's asking for trouble for a player with that little experience, in his circumstances, in that position and at his age. It's plain dumb. Funnily enough, I remember Redknapp doing the exact same thing with Ben Alnwick at Spurs just before a game at Old Trafford (think it was in the cup). Gomes and Cudicini(?) were injured, so was the fourth choice, and he was the only fit keeper. Redknapp's quotes when asked about whether he was confident in him were along the lines of "Well, he's my only goalie, so I'll have to go with him. I don't have a choice. I don't have another goalie to play."

Pardew has already proven that he wouldn't know a good footballer if one bit him on the nose, so Alnwick should take absolutely no notice of that if he's a bright enough lad.

I got talking to an air stewardess - or whatever the term is for a male who pushes the trolley and tells folk to fasten seatbelts - on the way to Florida in August who happened to be a Forest fan and couldn't have given a more favourable appraisal of Darlow. Said he was a brilliant keeper and was gutted to be losing him. Bruce, Lance or Julian usually.

So I was absolutely fucking perfectly correct.

Leicester away yawn.

Heed get West Brom away!

Easy home tie for City. Shocker

You can tell Shearer has more money than the other guy, his head is shinier.

"It's time to get on with it..." Cue more fucking VT of giant killings. fuck off.

Big fish join the minnows :lol: They're in an aquarium :lol:

We'll get a bottom 6 Prem team/top 6 Championship team away from home. Chelsea will get an easy home tie, as will the mackems (every year)

at Cronky being the one telling everybody to start living in the real world.

Cisse's all round game is pretty shite but he's scoring goals; whereas Ayoze is playing very well but isn't quite as lethal. Ayoze should be the mainstay IMO, whilst we try to accomodate Cisse as best we can around that. He's a good player to introduce at HT or early on in the second half like Saturday, he always gets chances.

If Alnwick shows up over the next few weeks, he'll get a new deal and we'll look to sell rather than release.

Surprised we're not trying to poach Shay back for a bit. What's Pavel Srnicek up to these days?
