Just watching the live game on at the mo for a 'trial' run... I am probably just being stupid, but any idea how to make it full screen? Do you have to join Bet365 to watch it? Yeah, and I think you need to have money in your account (I *think* minimum deposit is £5)

Just watching the live game on at the mo for a 'trial' run... I am probably just being stupid, but any idea how to make it full screen?

I expect to concede but win. I wouldn't be amazed at a draw, but I genuinely think we'll win.

I think part of the reason Bannan has not looked so effective is the type of balls he plays require good movement, ie a midfielder running beyond. Who has he played with? Petrov. Reo-Coker. Hogg. How many times do they get beyond the striker? Gordon Cowans was a wonderful player but he always had a Mortimer, a Platt to knock the ball through to. Paul Merson had Ian Taylor to pick out; and so on. So hopefully Bradley - who IMO if he does well will be the closest thing we've had to Ian Taylor since, ERM, Ian Taylor - will help someone like Bannan. Whether that is for Saturday or not I don't know, but I felt it was an appropriate point to make with Bannan and Bradley both being mentioned for this game!

this will happen, i will make sure of it! Me too! In my head it's to the tune of the ol' "Martin O'Neill" chant

"You said you'd quit, you're full of shit"

I think I'd have gone for Albrighton on the right. Just sayin'.

Would rather rely on him than Parish if needed - a fan of Parish I aint! Will probably be on cheaper wages than Stuart Taylor and was the type of signing that was needed to plug that hole. Now, if we could just plug the holes in central defence...!

Very true. People say we lost because of the team we put out & while there is a huge element of truth in that, the fact is Albrighton/Bannan did us proud, but Sidwell & Shorey messed up for the first goal, then Shorey/Osborne for the second!

I enjoyed that fella, cheers. I've been singing his praises for ages, while there has been all the fuss about Delfouneso and Bannan, I've been telling anyone that will listen that, "Yeah, but wait to you see this lad Albrighton..." I think the Middlesborough game was a moment where I worried. The fact that Heskey was out there concerned me, although there is a counter-arguement there that Milner was at RB (which is a WHOLE other discussion!) but it would appear that my fears were hopefully put to rest by him doing the biz this summer. Put it this way, if Jimmy is out & Albrighton is fit, I will be one angry man if NRC is out there!

Leaving out our best player of last season then? :?

I've never read an OBE article that I didn't enjoy, and this certainly didn't buck the trend. Very good read mate, I was almost disappointed when the article finished!

Good stuff!

I am that egotistical that I have my own Facebook fan page now! So, you know, if you want to follow my blogs and you are on Facebook...!
