JL you beauty!

Shit, penalty scored by Owen

Cricket, synchronised swimming and horse racing.

Sorry I'm late, just found this topic! Detest Steve Rider. Jumped from Beeb to ITV and they've lost F1 next year. He's no good for football either. And it goes without saying Andy Gray.

It stuck in my throat voting for the Shite but the Red wine's helped ease the pain!!

Manc City's bottomless pit is a worry. Who's to say they wouldn't go after Davey if Sven goes and if we aren't able to spend he might be tempted + taking players with him. Nightmare scenario IMO.

Looks like Dogbone won't be in the squad. I hope Chelsea are looking to their game with the RS, 1-0 us. Yak to deliver.

Have to say, no pen, shame for the Arsies and Walcott's run was stunning

We were always going to be under the cosh with players missing and 1-0 was not bad on the day. I was wholly pissed off with Andy Gray "I don't know what sort of manager David is but he needs to have a go at them at half time". Ok Yak particularly and a few others might have needed a kick up the proverbial but we were severely lacking in options with all the injuries. At least Jamie Redknapp was the voice of reason and gave reasoned opinion on our performance. I'm going to be happy with a UEFA place again as I think we would be a laughing stock in the CL assuming there is not money to strengthen the squad. Let's get behind the team for the rest of the season to make a Uefa place again.

Gutted, we were not good enough tonight. Do we want to end up in 4th? Money would be good but i don't think we can go the distance. Back to Uefa, let's not kick the team when they are down and get behind them for next Wed - it is winnable. COYB.

Obviously waiting for the sentence for his brother has affected his recent form but good to see him moving forward now. Tim you wear your heart on your sleeve and we love ya for it.

Have agree with all thats said about Yobo and i don't think Howard gets as much credit as he deserves. As someone said he's a good keeper but I think he's reliable albeit with the occasional mistake.

Only saw the brief highlights (last report!) on MOTD. I do think we should be grateful to have Tim Howard between the sticks. He doesn't seem to get the plaudits from us supporters that he deserves.

And why not! If you look at other Prem managers DM is definitely up there and long may it continue as I said in a previous post I am beginning to see him as our Fergie, there for the long haul. It's great being a blue

I want to keep him. We have a strong squad that want to succeed together. Sure there are no guaranteed places in the team but that's got to be a good thing and also I'd like to think that DM will be our Ferguson and bring success and stay for a long time. Stability is important in management and players.

UEFA semi, FA semi, top 6. Think the Carling might be difficult as we've got the Hammers away next round. I'm feeling pretty confident at the moment givn the strength of the squad now compared to previous seasons.

Just shows the passion these players have for our club, don't give up. Great point.

I just think, at long last we can say we actually have a squad to draw on so DM can make changes.

October 1967, first time I saw the Blues play - away at Newcastle - lost 1-0. Remember being so proud of my blue and white hand knitted scarf. Win would be nice but given this week away draw acceptable COYB.

Just couldn't see any passion coming from Yakubu, almost as if he didn't want to be there. You could see the will to win espcialy from Lescott, Faddy and Anichebe.

I think they used a female announcer as the club was promoting research into breast cancer today - so no complaints.

I believe this is a very poor preformance, Neville has had a poor one, Hibbert has had a suprisingly ok one, but apart from that poor game. AJ tried his best but alas Villa are a very tight unit. Lets hope we completely smash Sheff Wed everywhere after this preformance.

 

Lets face it the players and the fans need the confidence back.

Quite agree we all need confidence back startin with Sheff Wed or it could go horribly wrong like 2005/6. Just praying for Tim and Mikky to be back soon

God hates Everton. I just knew that AJ shouldn't have taken the 3rd penalty and maybe not even the retake, his confidence is shot at the mo and would've preferred Faddy to take it. Let's hope lessons have been learned about playing in Europe don't take any team for granted - loved Victor's commitment though!

134 mls unfortunately

Thing that got me was that tw*t Lawrensen saying "oh he's bringing on 2 Everton players".
