And another ball in from Jose. Lovenkrands not tall enough/atheltic enough to get to it.. Ranger time..

Willo's got the taste of blood.. watch out!

Yeah Ranger is on the bench. I'd imaging he'll be trotting the sidelines shortly before coming on.

That was good from Lovenkrands chasing back to make the interception and win the free-kick.

Enrique's written the script for this one I'm sure. He's just gone to ground intentionally so he could pull off a lovely sliding tackle of sorts...

Great combination there until the final ball from Lovenkrands.. horrible.

... what? Don't worry he's just made up for it with a sliding ball into the box to noone.

Fook me COloccini almost just scored a blinder. Belted it on target good save from Robinson though it was almost straight at him.

Good cross from Jonas.

Best got a header on target.. weak, but on target! Ranger could be the man to crack this open a little later. We're keeping up the same dominance thus far in the second half.

Another burst of speed from Jose and a great cross into the box.. a bit of a mess in there, somehow called a foul on best.

Ordinary shot from Barton there after a centre-ing pass from Jonas.

Pedersen and Roberts on. Scorers from our first game against them.

...Didn't see you then ...Tis all good.. I've added a bunch of you. Anyone keen for after the game?

Tiote has been executing the pirouette to perfection in this match. Makes Parker look like they forgot to wind up him up.

Christmas Tree, the forum joke.

0-0 at half time. We were clearly the better team, but they had one extremely good chance that they should have scored off, and we look disorganised at the back for their set pieces. We should have scored off at least one of Enrique's great balls into the area.

...Just needed the slightest touch from Lovenkrands and it was in. 7 odd minutes to make this dominance count.

Another peach from Jose! .. and the commentators still creaming themselves.

All over them.... Come on.. make it count!

Chance there for Best on the boot as well. Not an easy one mind. SHould be his lucky day cause it looks like a bird has shat on his head.

And Enrique's at it again. Lovely ball after good link up play with Jonas.

oooh errr

Yep, entertaining match thus far. In stark contrast to the earlier match this season.

Don't know if it's a tactic or what, but balls over the top of Samba are looking a decent option. He turns like a... Sol Campbell.
