Definitely, some fans can't bear a comfortable 2 0. Let's risk a goal against us chasing the 3rd. Was pockets around me with same attitude.

My partner was there ( basketball) and said the same about Gazza. Looking really well.

Hayden and Yedlin have to start for me.

I was there, for my sins, younger and sillier. Got a lift from Seaburn Station to Roker in back of police van.

Cheers Paully.

Well said WM.

Trying to get hold of Terry's fish cake recipe as we speak. Need to join that guild though. Might pop down to the club to see him but having difficulty finding exactly where it is. "Next to the old Walter Wilson's" is what I've heard.

We're no 5 in draw.

I have a bit of a browse on opposition teams forums and they do the obvious of comparing there team against ours. Unfortunately, for them, they've missed the most important part of why we're doing what we're doing.

Looks better every time I watch it.

Just got the impression that they hadn't really improved which was my concern. But I take the point that set play goals are still capable of knocking us out.

Having a quick look at there forum it seems there recent improvement is as a result of them scoring more from set pieces. There percentage of having the ball, scoring from open play remains poor. Feeling more confident but we've been here before.

It was actually one of the coaches (Cathro?) that orchestrated the gesture. He went straight over to a steward to get relevant info and then I watched as he had a word with Hayden. Kid got a nice little round of applause as he walked past the Gallowgate with blood still running from his nose.

That's it, yes it was. There was a Metro Radio presenter for half time.

Used to take my eldest. Can remember the high pitched screams and kids singing.

Yes, loved the Shef Wed lad just laughing.

Best I've witnessed from him. Actually trying to develop forward play, more of this is needed but it's definitely an improvement. Rafa having an influence?

Still lacks a bit of awareness once in a dangerous position. Can go either way against a defender. Plenty there for the coaches to work with and definate potential to improve.

Hopefully it'll pan out to him missing the cup match as he'd probably be rested anyway.

Looking forward to watching Abraham. Looked excellent for U21's during the week.

It's great reading how specific matches stick in the head. Partly due to the football but, just as memorable, the people we experienced it with.

Don't worry I've got enough anger for two. I've waited years for this opportunity.

Playing V Bosnia on BT now.

Starting for England U21 today.
