The Prophet

...he says seven games into the season. I know, I know. It's just that West Brom and Blackpool are both improving if anything! They're not achieving their success via corny/brutish tactics either. They're also not overly reliant on any single player. I believe both will consistently get results. Remember Hull a season or two ago? It's too early to tell, the league doesn't really settle down until November time. We're not exactly playing that badly ourselves.

...he says seven games into the season.

Did he bollocks.

What a save from Gilkes on the stroke of full time.

6 points from eight games, bottom three having just lost a derby game. You dont think that will lead to the manager being under pressure? Assuming Blackpool hold out for 10 minutes of course. I agree Hodgson is under pressure but its early days to be talking about sides in 'big trouble'. They both have a lot of quality.

Would still move more than Nolan.

Hopefully the international break will give Colo time to recover.

If anything I'd of whinged about the lack of fight after the second half Stoke performance, today we showed a lot of fight against far superior opposition.

Massive game. I think we'll have them.

Seriousl? I thought he was alright last week, was caught out of position time and time again today, also missed a couple of simple challanges.

We were well worth a point there, robbed by the fucking ref.

Sticking with 2-1 City.

Probably means Silva is starting.

Is he expecting to get more movement from Shola? I suppose he's more likely to hit the back of the net should a chance come his way.

Changed my prediction. 2-1 City, I have a feeling we'll score.

Don't know why I bothered today, worst bet in a while.

Annoys me when sides keep quality on the bench for the sake of a work horse up from the case in point being Birmingham benching Derbyshire and Zigic for Jerome.

Ridgewell trying to get Fellani sent off, disgusting play.

Charlton Bournemouth Port Vale All DNB 14/1

Mind not be a bad idea to bring him in for Routledge to protect Perch more than anything.

Didn't look like it deflected as much as the commentators were making out like. I don't think it deflected at all like.
