No history, no future

Still think the boom boom chant works better with Cuellar.

Unlucky not to win but relieved we didn't lose. I don't understand why we're playing Gabby as we are. He's a Striker not a striker, let's use him as one!

Went for Friedel as MOTM but no-one really stood out. Hoping Makoun can add something in Midfield, Ptrov was absent today.

Well he's better than Zigic. Might do ok there.

Got to be able to get a John Makoun chant to the tune of REM - Man on the moon.

Something along the lines of

If you believed that there's a man called John Makoun

Called John Makoun

If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool

Sure someone can come up with better but it will work to that tune.

Do we know if Houllier was at the game?

Yep, he spoke to the players in the dressing room before the game according to Chris Herd and at half time he told Dan wotsit who does the text commentary how much he liked Gardners first half performance.

Ok good stuff thanks.

Do we know if Houllier was at the game?

Could be enough to secure the January POTM that from Walker unless we start picking up wins.

Not a great performance but a win is a win, let's hope for home draw in the next round. Walker MOTM for me, just decent, not brilliant.

****'s sake Ashley. He miss the blues game now?

Ooh subs, what a treat.

10v10, got to push forward now.

Heskey what are you thinking? Moron.

I'm right in thinking he's right footed yeah? He was very comfortable on his left today.

Much much better. Great point. Heskey or Friedel MOTM, just about went for Friedel. Let's hope this is te turning point not a one off.

2) Keep XI on the pitch

I'll be very surprised if we have 11 on at the end the way it's going. Seems highly unlikely.

Composed it or just wrote down the sentence? Makes quite the difference to how rubbish the claim to fame is!

A bit of support for Eric (to the tune of Stoke's Tuncay song, name of the original escapes me, "goodbye" probably:

Lalalala.

lalalala

EEEEEeeeric, Lichaj

And now Delph's back it's about time for a bit of all byself:

Faaaaabbbbiiiaaaannnnn Deeeeeeelph

I wanna be Faaabbiiiiaaannn Deeeeelph

I would score

Both simple, catchy, nohing too taxing, think we could manage it! Ufortunately it's a while before I can make away games to help start them...

I spent Christmas Eve drinking in the same pub as Dean Kiely.

MOTM Lichaj. We needed Reo or Petrov in from the start really, even if they might not have lasted the whole game. I won my bet on correct score at 8/1 butthat's no consolation.

Was it called off because of the pichor safety around the ground or what, do we know? Not thatit matters particularly.

I was annoyed when I heard this was off but wih half the squad crocked and the other half just out the womb it's probably a good thing really, it's not like we'll have fixture cogestion this season. Just feel sory for those who set off before it was cancelled.

People who jump into threads without reading the OP.

Faaabiaaaan Deeeeelph, I wanna be Fabian Delph

Had a good look st Lichaj today as I was in the front row of the DE down by the Holte so watched him closely first half as he dealt with the impressive Thomas. Was very impressed with what I saw. Positioning, tackling, heading, throwing. Was MOTM for me. Very promising and much better than L. Young's been in recent weeks.
