Rob Hulse is at QPR? You learn something new every day.

Wonder if they'll be saying the same.

I tried that C+P too but couldnt be arsed with it

No Samba. Good news.

One change for Blackburn from their last game, but their site doesnt say who

Nothing to do with playing the same formation that we've played for a year which has got us to joint 5th, then randomly switching everyones positions mid game?

I like it. You like 5-2 defeats and 1-0 defeats with our only half decent striker on the left, and the most immobile striker in the world in 50 yards of space on his own? Nice straw man, it wasn't the system per se that lost us those games. It would be a decent system to play if we had the players to play it.

Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Colo, Santon, Raylor, HBA, Guthrie, Jonas, Shola, Best.

HBA in CM according to radio newc

Raylor and Colo start

Really hope we dont play the ridiculus 4-2-3-1 shite.

Apologies, they have no clean sheet in 25 games. 3-1 defeat.

3-0 defeat btw

Give anyone who confronts the ref about a decision (other than the captain) a straight red card. They'd soon learn respect

Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Colo, Santon, Obertan, Guthrie, Abeid, Jonas, Barf, Best.

Howay man

Mark Douglas on Total Sport: Lovenkrands likely to leave tonight.

Man U v Stoke tonight. Big game for us.

We sign all the stars on deadline day: Sibierski, Faye, Ireland, Xisco, Mariappa

There was a period mid-way through the season where he was excellent in my opinion - tailed off though and was toss ever since.

Looks like I'm in a party of two with Alex Ferguson here then

That's quite clearly bollocks - Smith might be a lot of things but a coward he isn't. He put himself about on the pitch in a position he was clearly s**** at...and kept getting picked there. Yet whenever he was really needed on the ball, he shied away. See WBA last season as an example. I don't think he shied away, I just think he was crap I can see people's point of view I suppose, but he never struck me as a soft, cowardly player. Just fucking pants at the majority of the skills needed to be a good central midfielder, e.g. passing and tackling.
