What the fucking fuck is that.

I really liked the way he directed his headers at Lovenkrands. Shola's headers can go anywhere, and even Carroll who wins everything doesn't have the best control. While I'd need to see Best against better centre halves he showed a lot of intelligence and nous and Lovenkrands was "loven" it. Thought they worked really well together. Nice Yep, even before he scored me and my dad were looking at each other saying 'he looks up for this and doesn't look half bad'. The 5th goal was a fantastic flick down the line to Barton. I can't detract anything from that performance. Couldn't believe my surprise after his first goal when I said 'he deserved that' and realised it was true.

Very true. I thought the fans that did travel were great. As did I, wasn't surprised we had the usual songs about shit support though unfortunately. Spoke to a few of their fans after the game and they were off out down the Quayside to try and cheer up.

Ranger's miss. Square boots.

Aye, I thought at the time it looked like when he took the thought it was something of an "oh fuck it then".

Good work for that goal.

When Best missed that early header I thought that was setting the tone for the game.

Here we gan, finally.

Another very important contribution tonight.

that and a rampant rabbit.

MOTD going to be responsible for me getting little sleep.

Really wouldn't be worth it for about the 1 in every 20 attempts that my gut instinct is proved right.

Same here, to the point I would've been seething if they'd scored a late consolation goal as we seemed to go through a spell of conceding a few last season.

I keep thinking this is an early game for some reason. Hope we spank them.

I turn all mother hen whenever he plays, I kept thinking he was going to get hurt.

Took his goals very well. I'm dead pleased for him.

I love surprisingly fun matches like that. There was me moaning about Wednesday games.

Said jokingly about 10 minutes before kick off that I was going to log in and put it on Best to score first.

I have £8.40 in my Paddy Power account which I need but it will only let me withdraw £10 or more. Going to have to gamble but can't decide what to go for.

Since when was there a Sports Direct on the first floor? I haven't been since it was JJB - how long ago was that?! I went shopping with the fella before Christmas for some trainers and we went in there, went upstairs, saw the Sports Direct logo and were like 'errr.. when the hell did that happen?!' Had a quick look anyway and it was full of tat as expected, so we moved on somewhere else. Does it still have that pointless fucking football court in the middle of the store? I didn't notice, actually. Used to randomly turn up there sometimes with my mates when we were younger but we were always scared of the charvs who would be hanging around.

I can't stand them. I can't even afford to have a drink so I'll be gymming it pre-match. Hardcore.

Really pleased with this.

Ugh. This is going to be a horrendously shit game and I may have to go to a family meal afterwards. Not good.
