OTF

Spurs won't progress. Especially not if Ronaldo is fit. Their defense is crap. Still an admirable run in the competition. Inter aren't very good at the moment so I'd say who ever progresses out of Chelsea and Manure will be in with a good shot of reaching the final. Against manure it's Chelsea's to be won IMO. Manure are consistent, but on their day Chelsea is capable of better. On the other side I can't see Real progressing past Barca who seemingly have their measure.

Let's just get rid of all our wide players, that way we won't lose any attacking ability or width when we inevitably suffer injuries and have to move centrally based utility players (code for slow, shit and inconsistent) out there to cover for them. If the talk is already like this imagine at the end of the season we'll be getting the same we have for years - lots of irons in the fire, hope to bring in 3 or 4 players to strengthen the side, deteriorating down to the end of the window where we've very close with a couple of deals, but some of the others have fallen through ...and besides, that player who's been really crap for ages is suddenly a superstar in training so why pay money for a player when you have such an excellent prospect under your nose. ...and the talk of the 35m will be nowhere to be seen. Then after the window closes with hopeless lack of serious movement we'll get some crud statement that tries to justify hope the 35m actually has been spent on something completely unrelated that would have needed to have been paid anyway.

Yep, loaning out Routledge and consequently having to play a right back as a right midfielder... the type of vision that only this mob could display.

Got nothing less than we deserve.

Tiote yellow coming soon it seems..

Good chance that would have gone in if Nolan wasn't there in the bloody way. Kuqi.

Free-kick in a great spot.. noone on who can take it.

It's possible that nothing is better than that (though he did touch the ball unlike Best).

Best puts it in the back of the net.. clear push though

Arteta should have scored there. Lucky for us. Anichebe and Nolan at it...

Nice movement and passing there. WOuld have been a lovely goal. WOULD.

Finally on comes Fergie AKA Oliver.

Ameobi should have seen our guy on his outside there, would have been a great chance.

Noone closing down Arteta again down the right, thankfully a completely open Saha horribly messed up his header.

Fook me.. Beckford nearly just scored. Great save from Harper.

FTR I'm watching on TV.

The Mask looks like he's in slow motion out there... has still managed to get two shots on target off somehow

Ferguson looks like the work experience kid..

After 10 minutes if things don't improve I'd be putting Simpson back to right back and bringing on Ferguson at left back.

Did well just to get his foot to it I thought.. took a deflection before it got to him.. through a crowd of players.

Danny Simpson good overlap, didn't want to cross on his left but when he did earnt us a corner... only for Jonas to take it weakly.. but he's earnt us a free... .....damn... close there, Williamson got a touch on it but coulnd't divert it goalbound.

So typical of us. 1-0 up and cruising, before you know it we're 2-1 down and one of our best players is off injured.

They were just teasing CT. The Mask is on Simpson to left back...

Enrique off???? FFS Ferguson on at left back...
