OTF

I'd prefer not to gauge our results off our possibly worst performance of the season. ...and Carroll scored in that match.

easily his best option in that spot, you'd have no doubt creamed yourself if it came off Attempting a back heel (and kicking the ball into his own leg and to a Blackburn player) was his best option? Sorry, but NO. Barton got frustrated in the second half and got progressively worse with his crossing, and set pieces. You can understand his frustration.

Just had a good chance to win it (West Ham). West Ham must have bottled it big time. Poor Woy (when he officially takes over). Edit - whoops

0-0 the one that got away.

Fucking ridiculous booking for Barton... idiot ref...

Kuqi on in the 90th minute..

Didn't know Bette Midler was a toon fan.

Salgado must feel like retiring after this match.

Kuqi warming up.

Tiote and Olsson? Tiote got a yellow for it, the ref was playing advantage. Tiote was reacting to the foul from Olsson on him which the refs missed.

Fook.. enrique penetrating right into the box, not the greatest pass for Barton but still had a chance to score.

Good tip there under pressure by Harper. Getting very scrappy now. This is what they want.

Got a yellow for it... though he was blatantly fouled by their player first.

Barton, oh my. Save the party pieces for training please.

Well played by Ranger. Speed to get around and past SAmba, then played it off him intentionally for the corner.

Kalanic.. hahah what the hell was that, just dribbled it out in the box.

And to think of the massive amounts of money we spent on buying him... Finally he's off for Nile Ranger.

Jimmy Perch is coming on for Simpson. Oh-oh.

... Hmm we're starting to get a little frustrated out there. Make a change Pardew...

...and Enrique is human after all...

Shola would have had the match ball by now.

Jonas shooting

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.
