We could easily have been 2-0 up too.

Fucking hell, some people really do go out of their way just to have a go at our own players. Agreed, that post reached almost Kevin Nolan-esque levels of shitness.

What work's in the championship doesn't necessarily work in the Premiership. Agreed, but it never seems a good idea to mess around with your biggest strength first. Also, it was never given a fair chance to work in the Premiership, Hughton is just attached to Nolan for some reason. I'm sure they played together quite a bit in the season we went down. Wish people would stop saying stuff like this. Coloccini was a useless t*** in the Prem, he's now arguably our best performer this season. Carroll is on the verge of an England call-up. Enrique has turned into God over the last year. etc etc. Lots has changed in 2 years, to keep linking back to that relegation season is a bit misguided because it's mostly irrelevant. saying players are good after a few games back in the premiership is misguided. So referring to how they performed in our relegation season isn't? José was still learning in this country. It was Jonas' first seasons in England. As they've also being involved in the discussion, it was also Coloccini's first season in England plus Carroll was still only a teen. Are you seriously suggesting that they haven't improved as players? That's the way it comes across.

He sounds very highly rated, just like Vuckic. I'm sure Haris signed a contract of similar length and rightly so too.

He got stick mainly because he didn't take off Nolan, who was the most ineffective player on the pitch yesterday. Yeah, but he very nearly grabbed us a goal. The same people would have been jumping for joy if that had gone in. Fair enough he missed, but it's not like Tiote would have realistically been in a scoring position. This is the issue with Nolan though. It's all well and good getting into these positions, but he isn't finishing them.

Well, today went well...

Fev have been the best team in the competition by a mile all season. Just two weeks ago in the Qualifying Semi against the same opposition, Fev covered -8 that day and they should do it again today.

I only managed to get Fev -8, Spence.

Can't believe this has turned in to a forum gamble. I'm feeling the pressure already!

Karl Henry: "Sunday's match is going to be ferocious"

Fuck off.

I'm trying to work out which set of mongs are singing "Where were you when you were shit?"...

In theory that's like printing money. Hmm. This one's with Bet365.

Who's that with? Had a look on PaddyPower, as suggested, but couldn't find anything. It was with SkyBet mate. Paddy will probably add a market sometime today, they actually tend to have the best prices for this market too so may be worth holding on.

James Perch to be shown a card - 11/8 Robert Huth to be shown a card - 3/1 ()

Wolves over 1.5 cards - 11/10

Terry hasn't had a good game for other 18 months for me. Bollocks! I know of plenty of people that agree with me tbh. All of you are idiots, then. The top centreback fro England and the Premier League Champions hasn't had a good match in eighteen months? Ridiculous. The opinion is so obviously nonsensical that it doesn't even warrant a serious response. Your defence of some players makes you look like an idiot tbh. You've just said Terry hasn't had a good game for 18 months. I wonder who the idiot is.

Kadar picked up an injury since last Thursday?

"Have you won the European Cup?"

Really poor challenge in my opinion. Had very little chance of getting the ball without going through Zamora, which he did.

In - Blue

The photos they use for the squad profiles are absolutely mint. Not so much this one: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Players/Defenders/Joleon-Lescott Wtf's going on with hsi head/hair? He was hit by a car when he was younger.

Stopped because of rain? How bad is it?! "Lightning storm" apparently (doesn't look THAT bad on telly). Players were taken off the pitch and the referee gave it 10 minutes to pass. Dear me. Glad it's back on anyway and hopefully Canada don't concede!
