Man Utd were quite into this fella, weren't they? Always nice to see us signing new talent.

Carroll and Lovenkrands. Simple as.

I want: Krul, Raylor, Williamson, Coloccini, Enrique, Routledge, Tiote, Barton, Jonas, Ben Arfa, Carroll Subs: Soderberg, Perch, Campbell, Smith, Nolan, Lovenkrands, Ameobi

When he ran the ball out of play at the start out a counter attack, I wanted to walk down and smash his head in myself.

It's very hard for a team that want to play football to beat Stoke.

1-4 Routledge Tevez (x2), Silva, Milner

Vile team, which makes it all the worse. Why the referee lets them take 30 seconds per throw is beyond me. YES. I was saying that all the way through the game. It's a f***ing joke. See Delap smugly chatting to our fans who were telling him to hurry up? Made my blood boil.

Can I just say that I hate Stoke? Never seen a more anti-football team in all my life. All they want to do is take throw-ins. All the time.

Jonas did more than Ben Arfa, I'd say that's correct. Had the strength to hold them off, put in a few balls that put the defence under pressure.

"I should have shut my gob." Can't see Ben Arfa actually having said that, tbh.

The 1-4? Coloccini wasn't even playing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7065165.stm

Yikes.

So if I say we play Stoke at home on Saturday, followed by Arse Biscuit XI away the next weekend, is that a fixture list?

If that's a fixture list, I'm a fucking tortoise.

I might be wrong here but didn't we beat Mourinho's Chelsea in the FA cup at SJP when Kluivert scored? Aye I just got that line from The Sun's online report. Barnsley also beat them in the FA Cup, unless they meant Carling Cup. At Stamford Bridge, I think.

Loved Sol's tackle on Sturridge I think it was, in the first half. Also loved Coloccini + Ferguson combining to make Anelka look like a complete tit.

Where do they normally play, and how easy is it to get to by Metro?

Ferguson was excellent. And I just didn't see what Vuckic did so well.

Attendance at Wigan: 6,900. Love to see Whelan burn.

Krul - 7 - Couldn't do nout about the second or third goals, and although I think he maybe could have saved the first, it was deflected and Smith should never have put him in that position. Ryan Taylor - 7 - Sweet free kick, some testing deliveries and I think the noticeable decline in our defence after his substitution was no coincidence. Hilarious lunge tackle. Coloccini - 9 - A beast. Campbell - 7 - Good debut. Mix up with him and Krul, but both had recovered by the time the goal went in, and again it was Smith and Ranger combining to allow it to happen. Shane Ferguson - 9 - Nimble, pacy, confident with a wicked cross and Chelsea didn't get past him down that side all night. Fantastic. Ranger - 7 - Good goal, and some good hold-up play. Cataclysmic error in defence to allow their first, but he's a striker, and probably shouldn't be asked to play in his own box anyway. Smith - 5 - God, he really wants to get sent off doesn't he. Awful tackles. Some good, admittedly, but mostly awful. Some of his passes are getting worryingly Butt-esque. Vuckic - 5 - Anonymous, really. Didn't drive forward much. Backed out of a few tackles. Not awful, but not really creating much. Not overly impressed. Jonas - 6 - Largely anonymous again, I felt. Was awful for the first fifteen minutes, passed three times straight to Chelsea players. But grew in confidence and was better as the game moved on. Ameobi - 3 (First half)/8(Second half) - A complete engima, wor Shola. Awful as piss sprayed all over your face in the first half. Like Messi second half. Impressive U-turning, even for Shola. Lovenkrands - 4 - Awful miss. Tbh, I don't recall him doing anything of note. Williamson - 8 - Slotted in where Coloccini had nicely. No worries there. Tiote - 6 - Poor guy. Asked to play at right back in his second match. We got raped down that side after he came on. Should never have been penalised for the brush on Alex. But keep him in the midfield please, Hughton.

We've put ten goals past Chelsea and Villa in two matches this season.

They completely ignored them.

Losing Raylor has actually weakened us down that side. He had the measure of them, Tiote doesn't seem to. But why the fuck is he playing Tiote at RB, I've no idea.

Good interception Ferguson.

Barton told to warm up.
