By not playing any strikers? Apart from that of course, anyone with any brain would have played super Gabby and amazing John. Injured strikers win games. Maybe play the striker who came on and scored? Or even our young prospect? May as well be Scotland with that amazing 4-6-0 formation

By not playing any strikers?

It was a free kick

Will he be suspended at the weekend then?

Took one for the team there.

Downing you beauty!

Heskey and apparently not.

Terrible ref. As per usual.

Goal Machineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Really seem to have lost the midfield battle this half. Sidwell seems to have reverted to his ghost role in the team.

Edit- point already been made

Impressive attendance, shame about the quality of football we are serving up for them.

Portsmouth last season.

"The guy" is former Villa player Steve Froggatt. And one of the best co-commentators I've heard in a while too.

He hardly set the world alight with us though did he? No, not really lol. He was good at Sunderland though Although to answer your question more accurately: Yorke? I'd go with Dublin, he was consistent enough to qualify for me.

Even with no strikers, we should be able to capitalise on their poor defending. You know you have issues when Clarke Carlisle is your best defender.

Is Young playing up front then?

Guzan Beye Clark Cuellar Lichaj Albrighton Sidwell Ireland Bannan Carew Delfouneso And if we are getting overrun in midfield, put Delf on the wing and Bannan in the centre.

I've spoken to a couple of guys who support Championship teams, apparently their defence is pretty woeful and shipping goals at the mo, hope we go at this positively and play 2 up front.

Bad Santa on Five now if anyone is interested.

Nope, link?

Nope, 'fraid not. We were offered drugs a few times while I was there by some dodgy characters and I've guessing there's a bit of pickpocketing etc that goes in in the medinas but if you are sensible you shouldn't have any problems. Most of the people we met there were very welcoming, to the extent that we kept in touch with one family even after we left.

Have been to Morocco, but not Marrakesh. Really interesting country, although if you stray into the wrong parts it can feel a bit dodgy.

Did you do Bouma's stats Andy?

I don't defend everything. If I believed the goal was genuinely illegal, I'd say as much. Makes no difference at all what my opinion of it is, if it's given then it's a goal. It's not as if the goal would be ruled out if I don't defend it blindly. The point is though, as has been mentioned numerous times now, is that the goal was legitimate in keeping with the stupid rules that are currently in place. As a rather clever poster wrote earlier in the thread, the goal should stand, the rules should go. And nobody finds it odd that Richard Keys makes that claim but there aren't any quotes whatsoever from Gallas in any of the vast amounts of media outlets? Did Gallas give Keys a private interview where Gallas incriminated himself? In which case, shouldn't the Premier League give the goal to Gallas and not Huddlestone? Hm. It comes from Jamie Redknapp, he said he spoke to Gallas personally and he admitted it to him. No idea why Redknapp would make it up. Not that it matters as it's offside within the rules anyway, how you can claim that it would not affect Schwarzer is beyond me.
