They've used all their subs, haven't they?

It'd be settled before our game, by the rules it has to be. I'm not sure that's the case. Isn't it the next Thursday that the panel sits? It can't be. Otherwise they'd just appeal regardless just to have him on Tuesday, which would never be allowed. "8 (f) Any period of suspension arising from a dismissal from the Field of Play will commence forthwith, unless a claim has been lodged in accordance with Sections 4 or 5 above."

Man Utd don't exactly look urgent, do they?

Probably doesn't apply for five days or something.

Yep, that's a red. Keane-esque.

Deserved, from first glance.

Thought that too.

City love two-footed lunges.

Thought I'd misheard that

Utd really missing Rooney.

Hate Man City.

Look at the goal difference against the teams on either side of us.

Down to 15th

At least as it stands, if Fulham and Stoke both lose, for us to go down a place on Tuesday, we'll have to lose 17-0.

Hate Wigan, me like.

Not a premonition, then.

3 games he's shoehorned him or Campbell in for no reason and 3 defeats to opposition that have been equivilent standard to us this season is no coincidence. He can't learn quickly enough to stop dicking about with the back 4 IMO. I can sort of understand him putting S. Taylor in for Coloccini when Colo moved to midfield, simply cause there was no one else available. But as you say, hopefully it never happens again. I understand his reasoning too but for me, and I know I've said this f*** loads, but you just don't change a settled back four. More or less every team thats been successful has had a settled back 4 and I know we're only relatively successful this season but a settled back four is a large back of it. I agree with you. It's my number one rule for team selection, keeping a good back four settled. I'd have played Ferguson Barton Guthrie Jonas and kept the back four settled. Oh well. Natural positioning & form > experience at all times.

It's a miracle he got 5 wins and 5 draws with our strike force, tbh.

Anyone else worried that Anorexic Ameobi is in first team training for this? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5025/5619194774_71e4c34be9_z.jpg

4-5-1 with Ireland behind Lovenkrands, I'd hope. Or if we do 4-4-2 please start with Kuqi. Can see why Ranger's a sub to Pardew.

What an awful camera angle

Smith I like his new boots, did puma make them? I never even noticed that Replacement in defence for Steven Taylor, Smith It's Raylor isn't it? Definitely Smith.
