Shouldn't be too much for us. 2-0 or 3-1. I think Vaughan will get one and AJ if he's back.

McFadden is take it or leave it for me. If we do let him go in the window though I really think we do need to bring someone else in. I think Arshavin might be interested in a change. I believe he's been at Zenit for his entire career, with the Russian league in off season I can certainly see the interest. If we can't secure Arshavin or someone else though I worry that we might be caught short with only 3 strikers, 2 of whom are a bit injury prone. Is there anyone else that might be available on loan, none that I can really think of but who knows...

SWP just won a header of Lescott????????????????????????

This is too much.

This ref is going to have a bit to answer for. Poor job all around thus far.

Feed the yak, feed the yak, feed the yak

Shame they didn't take off Wright-Phillips instead of Cole

Well let that be a warning to our boys not to go to ground. Bit harsh that.

Well at least we're getting all the cards

Woeful defending

If it was for full manny plus that kind of money I can't see turning it down. While Manny is obviously a very different player he's in the same league as Mikel and younger still. Manny would give us a great base in the middle of the park and I'm sure Moyes could conjure something up for 15 million on the wing.

I'm not sure where all this pessimism is coming from. We're playing football at least at the same level and honestly look more balanced than manure. I'm sure most of you saw them playing the shite at the weekend, manure defense looked very questionable. How many times did Van der sar fall all over his defense? Ronaldo hasn't been playing terribly well, nor have gigs or Rooney, however, Tevez is playing much like Cahill just showing up, so I have to imagine we'll get one, but like Chelski I imagine they'll get one too. 1-1 Yak and Tevez

Do we not have anyone on the fringes who might be a better option?

Well I have to think we'll see a bit of a changed line up, or at the very least some subs. Expect Johnson to start and would be surprised if Vaughan and Graveson both didn't play at some point. Maybe even early subs, 55th minute or so. Never know, Moyes might even bring Hibbo back in to give Carsely a rest and put the Lurch in midfield.

ABSOFUCKINGLOVING IT

This one was up earlier: sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/12971 seems down now though

Yeah, my internet link went down so I can't see what's happening but the shit in possession over the first half (from 53/47 them to 57/43 us) makes it sound like we're in control. I'm sure if we keep that up we'll get something. Green is good in goal but nothing else too special in their defense.

If Vaughan is fit I'd love to see what he can do with a start. Also would really like to see Baines take a few free kicks, wasn't that a specialty of his at Wigan?

The commentator on the Spurs game said that Ramos really likes his ability to sit in front of the back four with his passing vision. However, Ramos apparently really wants him to lean up. I've rated Huddlestone all through last year especially since that one time wonder strike he hit vs City last year. If Moyes can get Yakubu putting it a good shift I'm sure he could do a job with Huddlestone and having that kind of passing from our back line would really open up our attacks, I think it would be a great buy but I just don't see Tottenham letting him go for anything resembling a reasonable fee.

I have to go with the masses on this one, I think a good number of goals, neither team is brilliant in defense at the moment with lots of firepower blazing away up top. 3-2 us Cahill, Pienaar, and Vic for us - Krancjar and Benjani for them.

It's on right now, 29th minute 2-0 St Pt Here's a link that should... work mms://wms.sportbox.ru/football_200709271106?dGltZXN0YW1wPTExOTYzMDczODAm%20%20dG9rZW49Y0RBWjdwZ0ZmVGJQQVloTkFTTEx0cXZFJnNpZ25hdH%20%20VyZT1hNmU2YjVlNDU2M2IyOTlkM2Y3ZTAwY<br></A>TZjOTllZDlkNmMwZDNlN2Vk if you can't click that just copy it and go to Windows Media Player and open location and paste that. I haven't seen AZ play yet but St. Pt looks quite decent

Has anybody seen a large version of the picture of Cahill smashing in the equalizer? I've seen some small ones but I'd like to put it as my desktop wallpaper ;-)

Somebody about to make their 300 quid? (i'm knocking on wood for you, honest)

I'm not sure who's not rating Anichebe now???!!!! COYB

About time for Gravo I reckon
