Pilko

He's only ever missed one (I think). But I could be making that up. Missed one in a friendly once, think Souness was in charge. He's never missed one competitively, though.

Kuyt (h), Kalou (h), Tevez's 2nd (h), Stevenage player (a), Bowyer (h), Maxi Rodriguez (a), the one off Perch against Spurs (a), and that one R.Taylor headed onto his back against Arsenal (h). Unbelievable.

By my reckoning, that's the 8th time this season a goal has been deflected past him.

Moving to 'the next level' would see Nolan phased out, not 'dropped' or sold.

Haha, I was sure he said that. What did that lad who won say, that had Lockwood apologising? Lockwood asked how he was after running in the zorb ball and he said "am f***ing knackared like" Was that the lad who fell over about four times? Aye, him who was nearest to the East Stand

Justin Lockwood referred to the box during that half-time zorbing shite as "the 16-yard box". Impressive.

If we ever get Marvin Martin and there's any sort of training/matchday photo where he looks even remotely pissed off, you can bet almost everyone will be posting "ooh this makes me very angry, very angry indeed!"

Was that when he fell over on the byline and by the time Birmingham had launched an attack and Krul claimed the ball, he was about three paces past the 18-yard box? That was absolutely criminal.

Absolutely baffled as to how Nolan got the man of the match award like. He was exactly the same as ever, except his touches/shooting in the box were shit and that's normally his biggest plus. Mental really.

It speaks volumes about Shola that despite his unbelievably convincing 100% penalty-taking record, I still absolutely shit myself and watch through my fingers when he takes one. Absolutely woeful today, didn't even show any effort, which is basically all that Lovenkrands has going for him at the minute.

Was a rare error he made today. I'll allow him it as it's the first proper rick i can remember him making in the last two seasons. He was otherwise superb again. didn't let the mistake affect him

Definitely Puncheon above his league though. wat

Draw is still a pretty hilarious result.

We play so compact at times, players treading on each others toes in the centre. Only Tiote looks to switch it wide.

Hahahahahahaha fuck you Spurs.

I questioned whether there was a more ineffective, wasteful striker in the league than Lovenkrands today - that Kornilenko for Blackpool isn't far behind.

The celebration. was the same as when Gutierrez scored vs Wolves. At least it wasn't just cos of a fucking assist this time.

I was off my seat plenty today. Mainly berating Shola, Lovenkrands, the referee and the East Stand linesman.

I normally agree with how you mark players but I don't understand how you get your marks for Simpson or Jonas. Jonas was frustrating as ever today. Maybe I was .5 harsh on him. Simpson, however. What an absolutely pitiful player he is defensively. Beausejour had the measure of him from about the third minute. He doesn't even attempt to block the cross most of the time.

4-0

Never been angrier after a win that second half was a fucking embarrassment. We looked so disinterested, nobody wanted to shoot and the final balls were largely rotten.

Krul 5 Simpson 5 Taylor 7 Coloccini 6 Enrique 6 Barton 6 Nolan 5 Tiote 7 Gutierrez 5.5 Lovenkrands 3 Ameobi 3 Ranger 5

He was poor.
