Brilliant free kick by Milner off the bar.

O'Brien's on.

Sibierski is playing just as bad as pattison if not worse.

Games come to life!!!!!

Bollocks.

Pen Jaidi off.

Get in. Wembley here we come. Totally gainst the run of play.

What a joke...sib's the leap. Floats like a butterfly and stings like a butterfly.

Taylor off the line

I'm watching this on www.live-footy.org by the way.

This is a load of bollocks. Nothing up front at all in the first half hour. Martin's just had a half decent shot but even I could've saved it. Right at the keeper from outside the box.

Pretty average then. What does that make ameobi?

I can't remember offhand but how many goals did drogba score year?

If I had the choice I'd rather have my 10 mill back on Martin's and roll the dice again in January.

N'Zogbia doesn't deserve a 6. He didn't do anything much at all in this game. In fact, he hasn't done much all season. IMO, he's prospect but that's all. I lose track of the number of times he gives the ball away very cheaply. Good players don't do that and some of you are looking at him through rose tinted glasses avoiding his limited contribution most of this season. Seems to be the in thing to do...giving N'Zogbia decent marks when he contributes f-all. Pattison is another one that people were manking a lot of noise about but he looks poor...far too slow with no suggestion of composure on the ball or the ability to pay a telling pass.

So how long is the new contract isegrim? As I understand it, the report said he was " awarded " a new contract. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not convinced that's the same as " CN signed a new contract extension at SJP and has committed his future for the next three years " or words to that effect.

N'Zogbia is a good prospect at this time but thats about all he is. Until he learns to deliver a final ball consistently he will never be the player people on here like to think he is. Also, if N'Zogbia has signed a new contract then nothing has been said in the press which is surprising if he is rated as such a star. Unless I mssed it. Being awarded a new contract is not necessarily the same as signing a new contract so I'm not convinced that he can't walk next summer in which case we might have to take 5 mill in January. Based on his current form, I wouldn't pay 5mill for him because he's done next to nothing this season so far.

I did savor the moment as much as anybody else. At the time. But don't you see how stupid it makes us look that all we can point to are isolated games? And it was ten years ago FFS.......you dumb shit.

What's really sad is that this game is still brought up as a highlight. Manure fans have long forgotten it and it just shows what a bunch of sorry arses Toon fans are that they keep talking about it. In the long run, it was meaningless.

Martins will have to show me a hell of a lot more than he has to convince me that he's not a total waste of money. I doubt if he can do that playing alongside a donkey like ameobi as together they are a relegation strike force. I'll be surprised if they can score 20 premier league goals between them this season and if they are our main strikers then we will be in a relegation dogfight. I see us as a bottom five team that will be saved only if there are a couple of really useless teams this season that can't get things going. Hopefully charlton and watford will save us. There is no difference between ameobi with or without a hip injury. We are paying the penalty for persisting with such a mediocre player in such an important position. And for panic buying of martins. We can criticise the defence until the cows come home but the nigerians up front are sh!te

I hope you're right. ....................but why do I feel that's not going to happen?

The boumsong deal surely has to be investigated. I'm just surprised it took this long.

Just because the nigerian midget can turn you inside out Titus, doesn't make him a good player. Let's hope he can do it to the likes of Terry, Carragher and Ferdinand as well.

If he's like just about every other foreigner at the toon he'll take a year to settle in so why bother? By then Owen will be back and we'll have paid 15 mill for Ashton.

Although I think people are going overboard with their praise for N'Zogbia I wouldn't want to lose a player of his potential. But I still don't think he's signed a new contract which means he can walk in the summer with minimal compensation. Perhaps the reason we signed DD. IMO, if the there is a problem such as N'Zogbia definitely wanting to leave and refusing a new contract, we should have sold him in August as we won't get as much in January. Like it or not, that is the business these days.
