They'll never progress under Bruce. Every season - top half after 26 games and then a big slump.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

mackem captain fantastic

Cattermole :lol: :lol: Well done

City bring on young debutant to take the piss.

4-0

3-0

Allardyce is fucking embarrassing. He's talking about Sunderland as if they're leading 1-0

Minge-o-lay so close

Pen City!

City -2 in play

Get in City!

He did areet yesterday, like. He was involved in all of the first three goals (his pressure on the defender for Nolan's goal was what presented Williamson with the ball), and probably should have had a penalty. I still grimace when I see his name in our starting line-up, but he does have the occasional efficient game when he scores. If he makes anything more than fleeting cameos and cup appearances next season however, we should all be very worried.

Carlisle win. You should all make sure you don't miss Late Kick Off tomorrow night. [/sarcasm] It'll be canny, there's Whitley Bay in another final to report on too.

Bruce's teams always nosedive in the last 12 games or so, dunno why they're all surprised. Having said that, they won't go down. Fail to win in their next three though and things might start looking edgy for them.

I don't think Blackburn will go down, but I hope they do. We can never beat the fuckers.

Mark Chapman is so much better than Manish Dullard.

Wolves Wigan Blackpool QPR Norwich ...Reading

Keown is better than Lawro (who I like as a studio pundit), Bright, Coleman or Savage as co-commentator.

I'd love to see Claridge try and do this show without his notes. You're not fooling me Steve, you have no knowledge of nearly all of these teams.

I was just wondering who he looked like. Nail on head. On further examination he looks like the lovechild of Butty and Angus Deayton.

Alan Knill reminds me of Nicky Butt, he's balding/ginger and his shirt is too big for him.

He was a bit rabbit-in-headlights for the first 10 minutes or so but I thought he was very good after that.

People are going over the top on the Perch hating, like. He made one shit tackle and was booked for it. He made one other half-mistake which he quickly recovered straight away, and he cleared the ball off the line. He slotted in fine otherwise.

Barton, with honourable mentions to Tiote and Coloccini. Enrique's been good too. Nolan too.
