As it stands:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Spurs and United.

[Cripps_orig]

Big game concerning us other than our own is Stoke v Sunderland.

2 teams directly below us and whoever wins will probably go on and finish above us

[Niall_Quinn]

We need Wigan to put in a performance against Everton.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Suarez is back :woohoo:

So long as it isn't Skrtel v Bale and Adam is firmly on the bench we have every chance.

Pepe, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique, Spearing, Gerrard, Henderson, Bellamy, Suarez, Carroll.

[Master Splinter]

Come on other sports.

[Cripps_orig]

Big deal being made out of if Rio will shake Terrys hand

FA will be boring and do the same as last week

[Marc Overmars]

FA should just a grow a pair and remove Big Man as captain.

[Master Splinter]

FA should just a grow a pair and remove Big Man as captain.

If something like this actually happened, it would be a sign that there is some sense and decency in football and that it's not all one big, corrupt, amateur farce.

Therefore, it will never happen.

[Master Splinter]

WTF?

It's happening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16866149.

I should have checked that earlier tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

Big Man :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kurt Angle beat Lawro in his predictions. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESPN is free this weekend. :dance:

[Marc Overmars]

On a weekend we're not on it. <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's true. ESPN is free this weekend. :dance:

[Marc Overmars]

That is an out of character and Cripps-esque post from you.

Still, good point. :dance:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

I'll still and try watch our game online though; failing that, it'll be 5live.

[Rors]

Why is your game kicking off at 1, should it not be on the old tellybox?

[Joker]

The earlier kickoff time is due to transport issues.

[Rors]

:good:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Stoke's pitch is frozen. I'm sure that will disrupt their passing game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent chance Delap could fall over though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

God is doing Stoke vs Sunderland for Soccer Saturday. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Merse was just talking about Cinnamon Jackson. :haha:

[Rors]

God is doing Stoke vs Sunderland for Soccer Saturday. :unsure:

"Come back God!Come back!! Are you walking out on your partner God?!!"

[Rors]

Live Scores very difficult to follow now on BBC Sport. if it ain't broke...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR 1-0 Wolves, Zamora.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Come back God!Come back!! Are you walking out on your partner God?!!"

:lol:

And yeah the video used to be understated so you could have that in the picture and still see the goals and last update. Bloody morons.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Urgh they've screwed the BBC page up pretty badly. The new score and table graphics are quite nice. I don't want to navigate Final Score and Rio Ferdinand's Big Interview to get there though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Frimpong off injured, courtesy of Barton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cisse has been sent off for QPR. :haha:

Now he has come back on just to argue with the officials. He's refusing to go. :haha:

[Rors]

Cisse off :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We used up today's goal quota. :rose:

One benefit of seeing the fans behind the summariser is seeing the weather. It's snowing a bit there.

[Marc Overmars]

Quite a start for Zamora and Cisse. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoof has been sent off. :haha:

Pulis has gone mental. We're Stoke and we don't complain.

[Rors]

"Ug.Ug.Ug"

(Translated - Huth Sent Off)

[Syn]

Pulis has gone mental. We're Stoke and we don't complain.

:lol:

[Marc Overmars]

"Ug.Ug.Ug"

(Translated - Huth Sent Off)

:lol:

Knuckle draggers. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Frimpong has inherited the Arsenal curse.

And inherited it well.

[Marc Overmars]

Pretty bad conditions at Stoke, not that it will bother hoofball.

Anyone got any snow yet where they are? The news is going mental with snow warnings.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ryo isn't in the squad for Bolton, probably a good thing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pretty bad conditions at Stoke, not that it will bother hoofball.

Anyone got any snow yet where they are? The news is going mental with snow warnings.

It is up here but it's not as bad as it is in Stoke. Having said that the road is still covered by it.

[Rors]

Pretty bad conditions at Stoke, not that it will bother hoofball.

Anyone got any snow yet where they are? The news is going mental with snow warnings.

Plenty of snow here in SW Birmingham, been coming down non-stop all afternoon

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR 1-1 Wolves, Jarvis!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kammy. :haha: The hat over headphones idea is never going to work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 1-0 Swansea, Fortune.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 1-1 Swansea, Sigurdsson. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Is MO in London? It'll be down there soon enough. Travelling down from oop norf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 1-2 Swansea, Graham!

Swansea are great.

Woy. :rose:

[Rors]

WBA 1-2 Swansea, Graham!

Swansea are great.

:good:

--

Jellyfish now on for Everton

[Master Splinter]

Swansea can handle the GHELlish weather too :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jellyfish. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke 0-1 Sunderland, McClean!

[GP]

Is MO in London? It'll be down there soon enough. Travelling down from oop norf.

It's just starting to fall here in Reading.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Luke Young hauled off, Traore on. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 1-0 Bolton, Surman!

[Rors]

Wolves lead 2-1!

Sparky :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR 1-2 Wolves, Doyle!

QPR. :haha:

Money well spent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 1-0 Everton, Crusat. Howard fuck-up. :doh:

Wigan are going to find a way to stay up again.

[Master Splinter]

Everton are mental.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah it's a Phil Neville OG. Must've heard what Charlie was saying wrongly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 1-1 Everton, Anichebe!

Wigan. :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 2-0 Bolton, Pilkington!

[Master Splinter]

2-0 Norwich, Pilkington :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Savic is in for Kompany this evening. :lol:


Kammy. :sick: Put it away.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Wigan 1-1 Everton, Anichebe!

Wigan. :wave:

Wigan not to stay up this time. . .still probably find a way to get some points off us though

[Master Splinter]

Norwich :bow:.

Swansea :bow:.

RPQ :haha:.

Hughes :haha:.

[Rors]

Over to ESPN then!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chris Waddle hopefully. :pray:

Stoke. :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Swansea and Norwich are doing very well. I don't think either of their managers are as deranged as Phil Brown or Holloway, so wouldn't foresee a terrible second half of the season collapse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our match is game of the day at 20:25. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Kolarov, Nasri, Barry, Silva, Johnson, Aguero, Dzeko.
Subs: Pantilimon, Clichy, Zabaleta, De Jong, Milner, Pizarro, Rekik.

Fulham: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hangeland, Senderos, Baird, Davies, Murphy, Etuhu, Duff, Dembele, Dempsey.
Subs: Stockdale, John Arne Riise, Kasami, Ruiz, Hughes, Gecov, Frei.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

Clichy. :lol:

[Boss]

Come on Senderos and Dempsey :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke boss Tony Pulis on Robert Huth's red card in his side's 1-0 defeat by Sunderland

"The disappointing thing is the sending off. Robert skids in but doesn't touch the player. The referee hasn't taken the conditions into consideration. The player [David Meyler] rolls around and stays down. But Robert hasn't touched him. The player tries to get him sent off. It's a disease that's creeping into the game."

:haha:

[GP]

:haha:

Luckily, they don't complain

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Come on Senderos and Dempsey :bow: :bow:


We should look at Dempsey, 10 goals so far this term, good return

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Citeh. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Fulham, Aguero.

[Syn]

:haha:

Christ. Being a fanny and rolling 'round on the floor is a disease but relative to Stoke, it's an ear infection. Stoke are a plague.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam Johnson. :bow:

England's next big Starfish hope.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Christ. Being a fanny and rolling 'round on the floor is a disease but relative to Stoke, it's an ear infection. Stoke are a plague.

Speaking of which:


"Those are three massive games, but the authorities haven't helped us.

"They could have given us an afternoon slot instead of one so early in the day. They have a club in Europe, but have given us no thought.

"To play against one of the top sides in Europe on the Thursday, then to ask us to play on a Sunday morning in what will be Crawley's cup final, I think we are getting the short end of it."
Although that wasn't from today. They've got Crawley FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davies took it on too early, straight at Hart really. Good play by Dembele though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Duff, went for the Henry finish albeit with his left foot.

[Marc Overmars]

No Kompany? Damn.

I think I left Wazza as my first sub though, so hopefully he plays tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-0 Fulham, Baird OG. He has had a shocker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva was probably brought down there by Etuhu. Another 7-1 is on here even though it wasn't given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Phil tries putting one in for Citeh. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero shot, parried back out by Schwarzer, David Silva somehow puts the rebound over, offside was given luckily for him.

[Syn]

With most pubteam managers like McCarthy - and, with pubteamers in general - they're stupid and xenophobic and 4-4-2, big-man-little-man and all that but you don't get the feeling they're bad people. They say stupid shit but they take those opinions from others and aren't able to question them. With Pulis, I reckon he's no neanderthal even if his players are. I reckon he's a smart little fucker. And that's what makes it worse. People like him, Alan Hansen...vile ****s. They carry a bitterness of psychopathic tendencies.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 half time. Fulham have been terrible.

[Marc Overmars]

Who is this James McClean pub teamer? Seems to have come from nowhere, didn't even play under Bruce, MON gave him his first appearance and it's done the trick.

Bruce. :haha:

Good management.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Bruce must have been truly awful in general. His squad can't stop winning under MON.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Bruce must have been truly awful in general.His squad can't stop winning under MON.

He has not had time to settle tbh.

[Dennis Bendtner]

He has not had time to settle tbh.

:unsure:

[Marc Overmars]

Is it just me or is the quality of ESPN's HD better than Sky?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bruce must have been truly awful in general. His squad can't stop winning under MON.

They haven't reached March yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is it just me or is the quality of ESPN's HD better than Sky?

It might well be. BBC's is the best overall though, I think (on 169).

[Dennis Bendtner]

They haven't reached March yet.

:lol: that's true enough. I don't think Bruce played the same team every week though, so the MON effect might not be so bad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele and Sessegnon in the same team would be great to watch.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:unsure:

Once Mon Makes his mark you know what happens lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Enoch is a clone of Mario. RIP Manchester. :rose:

Nasri hauled off yet again., he might be injured this time but he had done fuck all anyway. Milner on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Enoch is a clone of Mario. RIP Manchester. :rose:

Nasri hauled off yet again., he might be injured this time but he had done fuck all anyway. Milner on.

?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

?

His brother.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Play suspended so they can make the lines obvious to see. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Probably the most entertaining part of the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No need to bring him on though, playing the ball across the pitch is making its own line.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Phil injured himself taking Kolarov out, freekick in a dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Groundstaff are back on again now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Phil was booked for that challenge.

Etuhu off, Bryan Ruiz on. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're back.

Riveting stuff.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-0 Fulham, Dzeko.

[Syn]

Fulham should be in skins tbh. #nohomo White shirt - camouflage. And they're losing 3-0. Dickheads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Phil hauled off (Aguero left him for dead in the build-up to that goal), John Arne Riise on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele and Kolarov booked, they went head to head but somehow both of them stay on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero off, De Jong on.

[Cripps_orig]

Fulham hit the post.

Well City did but for Fulham

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baird booked now. What a game he has had.

Dembele off, Gecov on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

how did we only take 1 point off fulham this season, terrible terrible team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 FT. Horrible game.

On that basis we should be first on MotD, at least second should be assured this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MotD is on in five minutes.

[Cripps_orig]

Man City v Fulham up first no doubt

[Marc Overmars]

We're first. :yikes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We are. :faint:

[Rors]

You're curtain-jerking after all! Shame it had to be a match with Motty at the helm. Let me guess: "and Arsenal have taken the leeead"..

[Cripps_orig]

We're first :yikes:

And Motty is commentating.

Best in the business at what he does

[Rors]

You're curtain-jerking after all! Shame it had to be a match with Motty at the helm. Let me guess: "and Arsenal have taken the leeead"..

No :faint:

[Rors]

We're first :yikes:

And Motty is commentating.

Best in the business at what he does

True, but not in the sense I suspect you mean it...

[Cripps_orig]

Oh dear SirChesney

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great commentary Motty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song nutmegged Marriner. :bow:

[Rors]

Great commentary Motty.

"Did he get a hand on that?" :doh:

--

Walcott did summat!!

[Cripps_orig]

Theo assisted the assister for Oxs first

THEO THEO THEO

Great ball by RVP

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Marriner had a very good game imo from what i saw on stream

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disgusting tackle. You almost feel like Givet wanted to be sent off.

[Rors]

Blackburn are an utter bloody shambles :lol: The ball to Givet there was of the pure hospital variety.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Owteta. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Kos got an assist :bow:

Knew nothing about it

[Rors]

I don't know what's funnier:Blackburn's excuse for defending, or the fact advertising space is being wasted on the new edition of FIFA Street..

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant from Theo again

Cant take people on? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP's chocolate leg. :bow:

[Rors]

Deflection prevented that being An Henry Goal :sulk:

[Cripps_orig]

Henry brings his Emirates career to an end in the best way

Lucky goal though

[Cripps_orig]

Ox, sounds like a proper Englander :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Shearer and Lawro praising us :bow:

Shame the best in the business Hansen wasnt there

[Rors]

Shearer and Lawro praising us :bow:

Shame the best in the business Hansen wasnt there

:haha: You're on form tonight..

[Rors]

"Lovely little ball in and a tap-in there". Come in Tim Vickery..quick!!

[Cripps_orig]

Thats our highlights done

Anything else worth watching on MOTD?

Cisses sending off i assume

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zamora. :lol:

He always looks so angry.

[Marc Overmars]

A rather glowing report there. This is the benefit of having an up and coming GHEL in the team. :bow:

Although it probably would have been focused more on "oh it was only Blackburn who defended shite" if Hansen was there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cisse. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Disgraceful red there.

Johnson should have gone

[Rors]

Cisse. :doh:

Goozle :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good finish from Jarvis.

[Syn]

Roger Johnson is an absolute c*nt. Very high on my 'if I was a prem football, I'd take a 3 match ban for dislodging the kneecap of...' list.

It's understandable that Cisse might get angered about dangerous tackles after his injuries but if he is going to react, then he's in the wrong job.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Intentional touch from Ebanks-Blake there.

Doyle. :bow:

He could've been at Arsenal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bend and whizz? is that like Ray Wilkins saying "with a bit of swazz"?

[Rors]

"Steve Martin"?!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam Johnson. :lol:

Clever player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin Jol's Cottagers. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The highlights have somehow made it seem like a watchable game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam Johnson makes it a penalty. Er what part of that makes sense Shearer?

[Rors]

Shearer pretending not to be reading the Golden Boot list. "Yeah 22 I think"..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A Lineker/Shearer pissing contest, great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morrison with the lowblow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good finish by Sigurdsson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odemwingie. :haha:

[Rors]

Vorm. Clearly intended.. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swanselona. :bow:

[Rors]

Huth. That is all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoof. :wave:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Who said Tony Pulis does not moan ?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who said Tony Pulis does not moan ?

Tony Pulis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pulis sent that photo in?! :haha:

What a lunatic.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Tony Pulis.

Then he's a liar

[Rors]

THAT'S more like it Gibson..

[Dennis Bendtner]

Hahahahahahaha. Pulis emailed MOTD that picture! Hahahahahaha. How small-time can you get.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Howard. :haha:

[Syn]

Damn, missed it. Picture of what??

[Rors]

Howard :haha: He pulled off a shocker in the warm-up against us (let a shot by Anichebe give him the Taibi treatment), but he's surpassed that here

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Damn, missed it. Picture of what??

Hoof's challenge, showing the position of his leg. :lol:

[GP]

Hoof's challenge, showing the position of his leg. :lol:

it's funny cos it's net even relevant.

[Marc Overmars]

Pulis. :haha:

He's cracking up.

[Syn]

Hoof's challenge, showing the position of his leg. :lol:

Ha. A very desperate act.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ha. A very desperate act.

And all it did was show there was contact when he previously said there wasn't. :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Howard. :haha:

Hard to read the doosra tbf.

[Master Splinter]

We're Stoke and we don't send desperate e-mail's in to Match Of The Day.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Who said Tony Pulis does not moan ?

Oh Pulis is a tosser
he wears a baseball cap
he only has one tactic
And thats that twat Delap
He throws from the left Wing
he throws from the right
He couldnt play a throughball if he played all fucking night

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hard to read the doosra tbf.

Painfully true.

England. :doh:

[Syn]

Why wasn't Ryo in the match squad for Bolton yesterday? Is he injured already?

[Coney]

Pulis sent that photo in?! :haha:

What a lunatic.

He's not that kind of manager.

[Syn]

We're not seriously hoping for Newcastle to lose in order to help us? And a Tottenham win on Monday?

FFS I don't want to live in this sort of world.

(Yeah, I know...bye.)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd be hoping Villa can win today anyway. Although the Spuds can draw, we'd still remain above Liverpool in that case.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Villa and especially United.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Ryan Taylor, Guthrie, Perch, Gutierrez, Ba, Best.
Subs: Elliot, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Gosling, Shola Ameobi, Obertan, Ferguson.

Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Cuellar, Dunne, Warnock, Ireland, Petrov, Clark, N'Zogbia, Keane, Bent.
Subs: Guzan, Heskey, Bannan, Weimann, Lichaj, Baker, Gardner.

Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)

How can't Big 'Eck see a better option than Alan Hutton?

[Syn]

Ba's back :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Good point.

Cuellar can play right back cant he?

Heskey in at CB

Surely better than playing Hutton

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cisse said Inshallah. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good point.

Cuellar can play right back cant he?

Heskey in at CB

Surely better than playing Hutton

Randy Lerner must be a bit dim persisting with Big 'Eck. We just solved their problems in a couple of minutes.

[Rors]

anyone else watching this in Sky Jerkyvision?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

anyone else watching this in Sky Jerkyvision?

It's fine here. Must be another earthquake in Birmingham...

[Rors]

There's the hoof :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Best off injured, Cisse coming on for him. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great chance for Bent, Krul out to him early.

[Rors]

Good vision from Keano for that chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nobody following Keane in on his run. Weird.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cisse header, looped up - easy for Given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Warnock is down. Clash of heads. :sick:

[Syn]

Rubbish. No precision involved at all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krul saves from Bent again!

[Rors]

Come on Krul let us catch a break

[Syn]

Just as I say that - great ball by Dunne (?!). Need some more of that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 1-0 Villa, Ba. :doh:

[Rors]

Balls. Against the run of play and all.......

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Warnock with a horrible challenge on Taylor in the lead up to that goal.

[Cripps_orig]

Didnt realise Ba would play in this so didnt put him in my team

Fucking Senegal

[Syn]

What a fucking shit celebration. Twat. If it were up to me, he'd get a yellow for that.

[Rors]

And just to rub it in, Obama is on the way

[Marc Overmars]

Ba. :bow:

Good that RVP built up a nice cushion over him yesterday.

[Marc Overmars]

Didnt realise Ba would play in this so didnt put him in my team

Fucking Senegal

I put him in and he's my captain. Calculated risk tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ryan Taylor off, Obama on.

[Cripps_orig]

I put him in and he's my captain. Calculated risk tbf.Its paid off. I wouldnt have made him my captain had i put him in. RVPs my captain and 3 goals and 2 assists makes it a good choice

Does Ba really have a 5mil release clause. . . ?

Isnt not rocket science if he does. . . .not that I would expect us to take advantage of that anyhow. . .

I wonder about people who think these release clauses exist and are so low.

When is the last time you've heard of a player transfer because another club met a release clause in a contract?

It just doesn't happen outside Football Manager games.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Simpson booked.

Dunne goes on a charging run, loses the ball and gets booked. :haha:

Indeed. I've been considering chopping and changing the team so I can transfer RVP in, but I fear jinxing him, tis why I never use Arsenal players tbh.

Law of diminishing returns for us there, finally Bent caught offside after a ISS '98 C-up pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er was that an attempted shot by Dunne?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Six added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cuellar and Hutton. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Santon shot, deflected wide by Clark - Given would've had no chance if it was on target.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ba flicked header, just over!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 1-1 Villa, Keane! Great goal.

That fucking cartwheel. :haha:

[Rors]

:bow: Richly deserved too. Good stuff N'zog, well judged

[Syn]

Yes!!

What a ball by N/Zogbia

[Dennis Bendtner]

We got the wrong yankee on loan, to be fair.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. Good stuff.

Important Villa keep up the intensity of the first half but they'll need some magic if they want to win the game. They'll need to be pro-active and look to the bench. Ideally a striker. Someone with a lot of experience. Preferably black.
