Stay 3-1 for the fella with the bet

Would love to smash these words removed to pieces but i fear that prick suarez will cheat his way to victory. Draw or 2-1 liverpool

No idea. Oldest in span wise technicallyis Space-Spiders which i enjoy for nostalgia nineties moments. Otherwise i have loads of faves but none has ever made me go woah. I have a few albums i occasionally have on loop though, like pink floyds animals and a couple of others i forget. Warren Zevon gets repeated wear but couldnt cite an album beyond a compilation version.

well Reading took all of about 250 up to Sunderland last night. Still more than 1 obviously, but not a huge amount ( not judging, pretty obvious reasons why so few chose to do that trip last night)

Omg come on bradford!!!

Yeah. I remember the designs first time around. I enjoyed them, bought one and lost it Would be interested in a repeat.

Wolves win, keeps sha down there. Clark proving to be a bit rubbish it seems

mostly agree there Trent. happy enough so far, what I enjoy most and what is why I am probably happier than others is the sense of anticipation and hopefulness that comes from recognising a project at the genesis of it's development. We're still early days but we are improving, we didn't get bullied out of the way against stoke - they didn't have a shot? the side are hard working, organised and feeling their way into confidence. 4 matches unbeaten is good. ok 3 of those are draws, but one of them was away to a side with a new manager on home debut who have spent more on their squad than we have ours, another against arsenal... we obviously need some more creativity in the side, and I think we do need some talent on the width that albrighton and nzogbia don't provide. Replace them with some players with a direct keen eye for goal who can provide alternatives, and creativity up front and we'll really start to having some ppleasing options going into the second half of the year. I know the football in the short term might be frustating occasionally, but in the medium to long run I think it really is all quite exciting. It's like the first years of O'Neills reign, for me anyway, that sense of the roots being embedded for future benefit, with the young players and the transition and attempting evolution of how we play. Until January though, we've got a tough spell coming up again though, so this defensive resilience will come in handy, perhaps we can have the bonus of a league cup win on tuesday who knows - it'll be tough, Norwich in cracking form and the return of Lambert to Carrow Road, but all the same, a win there would be nice as I suspect we won't score heavily points wise v liverpool chelsea or spurs, but with wigan after that, an important game that I think we'll go into January in a reasonable position - probably still around where we are now, 14-16th but ready to invest and push on in the second half. Perhaps I'm mental, but I just think we could end up being a bit of a surprise package in the second half of the season.

defence continues to improve and look solid. Useful, more work needed upfront. Stokes exit from this league cannot, cannot come soon enough. Such an awful club with awful fans.

has it finished?

Going to be a nightmare match this. I would imagine Herd will be in midfield with Bannan and Westwood with Holman pushed up alongside benteke and gabby.

I cocking hope so. Can't stand Sstoke. But I fear a loss or a soporiphic 0-0.

Cardiff win again and good job blackburn sacked Kean when they were 2nd.

belatedly seen this

+1. Tempted to play all 3 of Clark Vlaar and Baker for this one.

Sunderland have Chelsea next. Bye bye MoN?

Draw as a whole is great for us. A good few all prem ties will get rid of a few, and tough away games for sides like newcastle, stoke and sunderland.

Great draw. Should win it easily tbh.

Dm and a forward/winger are priorites for me. Defense is fine for now umo, that is im happy to have the odd short term hiccough as they develop more experience. Lowton at rb is solid, Vlaar and Dunne are experience whilst Clark and Baker are improving and good enough to be playing anyway and lb we have 3 options none of whon have established thrmselves for whatever reason but im fine with all options for now, again would eather see them fight out until summer. Midfield is key area. Out: bent, nzogbia, delph In : replacements for all 3 and im happy.

Well a gay "hero" would be great for breaking the barriers. Symbolism is undervalued in that sense, but once one comes out others will follow. Simply ban the words removed who abuse them and if that means a whole **** stand or section then so be it. Bigots have no place in football and id much rather ban 10000 fans than try and hide behind some shitty excuse. If you chant homophobic stuff then **** you and goodbye.

Baker played well enough for us not to rush Ron back if he's 50/50 at the weekend. Would be happy to wait the extra game before bringing him back.

Yep looks like he could become a lock at full back for the next few years

Might as well be. Nzog is another who can go in jan

Btw as bad as it was at times it was still infinity times better than the rubbish amc served up. We tried to win, nerves just got in the way

An understandably nervy game against an equally desperate side. We needed to win we did. Our composure will return as we pick up points. GUZAN gets 10 for me for his impeccable handling of balls. Benteke equally was a handful. others were scrappy. Baker had a good game at ch. Onwards to QPR next week. Guzan 10 Lowton 6 Clark 6.5 Baker 7 Stevens 6 ( Lichaj 6.5 ) Holman 6.5 Westwood 6.5 Bannan 3 woeful Agbonlahor 6 Benteke 7 Wiemann 5.5 sorry andi, great hustle but you have to score that.
