Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Chopra's failure at Sunderland was down to the few starts he had in the team. He scored a few for them at the beginning of the season when he was in the first 11.

Am I the only one who thought he looked ok when he came on? Ran at defenders and put in a few good crosses. Didn't have much time to do more really.

Don't know how many assists he got but he single handedly made the goal which Loven scored a few matches ago can't remember against who it was.

Got it right with 5 Still wish he'd put one away today

Thank fuck for that.

Caroll has been really good since he came on.

We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time, oh no. I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Sigh.

Two pointless corners given away now.

Nolan almost got his leg took off my a tackle at the end of that half. Got me thinking who do we have to step in if he gets injured? Just thought actually Guthrie can go in the middle and pancake down the wing.

I wish we wouldn't play SHola and Harewood together they are both so lazy. Fuck they just scored.

Mince pie cereal the best way to start your christmas day Merry Christmas everyone.

I'd kill Geremi and frame Barton.

Didn't think he still had it in him with those old man's hips of his :smitten:

I enjoyed the 'Feed the Smoggies' Christmas chant. Also Butt played well today. Still hope he never has to put on the shirt again though. When is Joey 'I'm a useless piece of crap' Barton coming back?

As manager ACF Fiorentina Coppa Italia: 2000–01 S.S. Lazio Coppa Italia: 2003–04 F.C. Internazionale Milano Serie A: 2005–06; 2006–07; 2007–08 Coppa Italia: 2004–05; 2005–06 Someone described him as being no better than Hughes but he's actually won a shed load of trophies.

I don't know anything about Mancini. Does anyone here rate him as a 'top 4 manager'

Did you really expect him to do much better with a team of strangers that were brought in over the summer? To be fair he's only lost twice which is hardly awful.

Is Hughton's contract only until the end of the season or longer? I would have Hughes here because as many people have said I don't think we could get a better manager.

It's down to what his wages really. With Shola back we don't desperately need him so if he's on 40k a week hell no.

Ranger :smitten: Can anyone describe the goal?

I'm still waiting for an Newcastle United sized injury list to fuck us over. We're lucky Enrique hasn't missed many (any?) games but we hit our poor form when Colo got injured. I'm happy but am convinced it will go (at least a little) pear shaped.

Was impressed with Loven today. More so than Harewood anyway who apart from his goals did nothing (I know that sounds both stupid and ungrateful). Loven chased a lot of balls down and has a decent cross on him judging from todays game and I think he'll only improve with more games under his belt.

Where did you watch it? I am to make the wild prediction of: Dodgy foreign Satellite TV True. Friend of a friend knows and Egyptian who knows an Italian who has a special every channel satellite box that was borrowed for the evening. Nothing like a room full of angry Bosnians. One half of said Bosnians who take islam seriously werefuriously smoking their fags downing bottles of coca cola and spouting such filth at the referee that children had to be removed from the room. The other half were drinking their beer/ whiskey/ vodka while spouting such filth at the referee that children had to be removed from the room. In the end the loss was blamed on the wives (bad luck or something) there will be a few beatings tonight. God Allah bless 'em. There were a few calls for old Allah to break portugese players/refs leg/face/collar bone Surprising to hear that from followers of such a peaceful religion like Islam. Yeah because Christians are so much better. No such thing such thing as a peaceful religion imo.
