Matt

this is killin me...

Benfica 2-0 now

Benfica just scored...

:| errr.... yes.... got me there! Hes not done too bad the last 2 games, home this is him starting to get into form... Last minute goal to celebrate? would be nice....

Good man!!!

i hope he doesnt have to resort to Saha and Yak, i dont think the pitch would like them at all! who else have we got left for the 3rd sub?

diving nancy!

dum dum dum... another one bites the dust! why did they play the game in a quagmire?

YOU FUCKIN BEAUTY!!!

all the best dude! dads 50th today too, so hoping that we all get a good surprise tonight!

dutch 'ij' is basically a 'y'. Lived there for a while but i may still be wrong!

doctor doctor, ive only got 59 seconds to live! Go sit down, i'll be with you in a minute....

i did wonder about the forty-odd games myself... i suppose i shouldve looked it up before passing it on, i just assumed that with stats like that they'd been research. im happy to be proven wrong in this case!

dammit... this is what i thought! I was hoping my dire understanding of business finances was steering me wrong but apparently not. Still, ive obviously learnt something!

hey dude, i read that before but what does it mean?! bare in mind, youre dealing with someone whose own financial knowledge about his own accounts is crap. really crap. to the extent that if no money comes out of the wall when i ask for it, thats when i know ive got no more money left.... can anyone break this down to simple terms?

someone from the OS posted this: AEK have won 27, Drawn 5 and Lost 8 at home this season, and they also beat Benfica 1-0 at Athens. err.... im nervous again now!

goals that are offside arent legitimate im afraid Reg... Though if it was Utd at OT bet it wouldve been allowed, was very tight. Fantastic finish for the first one too, the biggest piece of skill ive seen from Jo i think, he had a very good game. did anyone see match of the day? i rarely watch it because theyre so blindly biased that it make me sick, but i watched because i was convinced that we would be congratualed for a good performance and for that Kopite to admit we were the better team. but what happened? yeah, thats right, they concentrated on the negatives and ignored the fact that we had 55% of the possesion, had nearly twice as many shots and were denied a penalty when Carriger tried to mount Felli... makes me feel sick...

even though Johnny has played RB in the past, i agree with the original post, that he has found his place. He could be the answer to Carsley. Then, when Neville comes back, put him at RB. Johnny gets stuck in and doesnt shirk from a challenge (not that Pip does mind you!) but i just think he has a bit more pace and better eye for a pass than Neville. As for the midfield, wont it be nice for DM to have a headache with the selection! im still sure we should do 442 depsite the performance at Hull, but if not, maybe 451 but with Saha supporting Jo/Yak. His pace and skill is vital going forward and he can win a header too. he would see more of the ball too, as we wouldnt have to hoof it long for him to battle it out. just a thought....

spot on mate. yes, goals win games and it will go down as a Luckypool win, but! it was a great performance, very promising and we were just unlucky! if we play that way against Aethens we will destroy them and with 2 good performances under our belts, bring on Spurs!

as much as i agree with you, about seeing the youngsters playing, im hoping it would be a nice game to ease Jags, Arteta etc back into the game. By that time im hoping we can destroy teams like this, but honestly, despite yesterdays performance, im not confident. we never/rarely do well against small fish...

for the 3rd match in a row ive gone for Johnny. but really, it couldve been anyone on the pitch, they were all very good. the best ive seen them play for a long time and a performance we should be proud of, despite the result...

well, depsite the goal, i think we're playing exceptionly well. if we keep it up, no reason why we cant win the game...

i recognise this! were playing.... FOOTBALL!!!

if this article is true, he's picked an awful time to speak out. how are the players supposed to play with confidence if the manager has lost faith? ive said many times before, the season isnt over for a good while yet (10 points behind 4th, which is acheivable if we start playing), but if the leader is throwing in the towel already then recovering the season is going to be even harder....

according to the bbc: Everton 24 Howard 02 Hibbert 03 Baines 04 Yobo 05 Heitinga 15 Distin 07 Bilyaletdinov 17 Cahill 20 Pienaar 25 Fellaini 11 Jo Substitutes\ 01 Nash, 23 Neill, 31 Coleman, 19 Gosling, 08 Saha, 22 Yakubu, 37 Baxter im going to assume that Jo is on because he is the most fit striker. ive got to say, im very, very nervous today...
