They play one long ball and are an offside call away from being in. Our long balls evade Carroll, or hit Carroll, but still end up in their possession.

A huge part of me wishes Carroll hadn't played so well vs Cardiff, because he's such a waste of space away from home.

Oh well done Alan, way to invite even more pressure onto us,

FIRST TIME man Smith!

Guthrie neglecting to pass to Nolan short and finally we get the ball in their half at a yellow shirt.

For christs sake man Nolan, pass the ball a bit harder you fucking fat fairy.

We really are an awful side.

Lovenkrands on the left? I fucking hope not.

Nolan and Carroll are undroppable ffs.

Kuqi is all muscle and cannot run for fuck. Let's hope they can handle him.

Guthrie wide left >> Lovenkrands wide left tbh.

Williamson >>> Hall surely?

Every season there's always one team that gradually slides from midtable and into the thick of the relegation battle. It would be class if they maybe got a win or two in the next few weeks, and then went on the standard Steve Bruce end of season slide, where all the lads knock off 8 or 9 games early for the summer and the team plummets. How great would it be to see them relegated on the final day?

Kuqi will hopefully be easily handled by Williamson.

That article is bollocks. We're having to cut our cloth accordingly in the Championship and bring in lower-echelon players. How on earth does that mean the club will NEVER again be a major player? you could add "...under the ownership of Ashley" to the title and I might agree with it.

November 3rd 2010. If it happens then I am fucking brilliant.

Merson: "Viduka > Berbatov"

I don't think there's much in it between Baines and Warnock fwiw. Your edit of ">>> Bridge" is probably right though, he's been terrible since he went to Man City.

o/ There was no way it was going to be a "five-year project". I'm impressed it's lasted over five months.

A.Cole >>> Warnock > Baines > Bridge imo

Diamanti

That pen. Has he been watching Defoe take them?

KD "we miss so many chances" comment imminent.

He seems to be slightly mental imo.
