test on animals if only to piss off the "stop the oxford animal lab" words removed who used to go on and on and on all the **** time they were always trying to give it the big un

darren bent would have been perfect - out and out goalscorer, let gabby do the donkey work as he will never be an out and out goalscorer imo downing was comfortably our best player imo, faster than i thought he was

if i was luke young i would want out of the club now. cant believe he was dropped for this game (i could understand the blackburn game). seems he is not one of MONs favourites we need a goalscorer next to gabby - he is not a goalscorer although i fell MON thinks he is/can be

**** gutted gonna waste all me annual leave on going to games at this rate

yeah i heard the final tickets range from about £30-£90, no proof tho, just what i remember hearing/reading

glad they called it off know rather than later

werent the m6 **** up the other day when there was a bit of snow

our coach is leaving at 3 which was risky imo anyway, gonna be a right struggle now

anyone know if the trains are running alright? the cross city line isnt too bad normally with ice/snow (albeit i have never had to use it in snow this bad). i will try and use the train to get into town if its still on

if its on i am gonna struggle getting to town for the coach and my old man ent gonna b able to get home from work in the sticks after half-day at work!

the coaches im on are not leaving til 3 and have been told that we cant drink in Blackburn so will be stopping outside somwhere. Dont think it is going to be a particularly good drink by the sounds of things, and it could turn into a nightmare if the M6 is like it was the other day will probably try and have a few in town before we get the coach as it is leaving so late

if petrov and delph start in centre midfield together i think we will lose again and i will be screwing

who the **** is DJ or am i being a retard

that would be the worst reason for playing him

guzan looked to have cocked up for their goal from where i was , looked to have thrown it in, but will have to see it again

v. good first half, terrible second half should have been a lot easier substitutions confused me, delph and delfonso are unlikely to play on tuesday so i dont understand why they were brought off unless they were injured delph was playing really well as well, along NRC downing should have been rested he looks like he is blowing

can't see us finishing that close to fourth but i wont give a shit if he can get us a trophy

Downing has played too much too soon - should have been rested after the Sunderland game as he looked knackered by the end of that and has looked knackered in the games since

NRC was better than Petrov today, MON took the wrong man off

milner **** about with that cross at the end just before they scored was well annoying - just get the **** thing in, ends up getting blocked after he dallied on it for about 5 secs

think some are being a bit harsh on Carew - he was obviously asked to drop deep into midfield to make it a 5. this is a role he is not accostumed to, and i blame the manager for this. If you want five men in midfield, play five **** midfielders, dont expect Carew to do this job. On the occassions he did stay up front he won nearly everything aerially even if he was a bit of a mess on the floor. Gabby has hardly ever read a flick-on he doesnt have the brain to imo, so it is pointless opting for this tactic. why NRC got brought off i will never know - he was playing better than petrov and certainly looked less knackered, so it was a retarded substitution imo. we had a fifteen minute spell second half when gabby was running them ragged, making runs down the channels, giving people an option to pass. Then he stopped making the runs and we were forced back to the old hoof game. extremely frustrating, we deserved a point imo and possibly all 3

in the drayton a few were singing some song and then the arsenal played exactly the same song to run out to (i think) confused me

im my experience mate the drayton is the main away pub, but the Ashburton (previously Lord Nelson) is predominantly away fans and is easier to get a beer in. Better sing song in the drayton but its far from dead in the Ashburton as well gonna be down there between 10-10.30 so hopefully these pubs open early otherwise ill have to make do with a few tinnies

everton had a perfectly good goal disallowed as well, altho a lot would argue so did stoke yesterday to be fair

warnock probably had the worst game of his career, awful today, but i think he knew as well. hopefully will be back to normal next week
