Great half. Think the ref is great up to now, he seems to be completely in the knowledge that Nani is going to look for the free kick whenever possible and he isn't letting the Man Utd players influence him in any way - Rooney especially. It is despicable how Rooney is always around the ref when a decision is made...he isn't even the Captain ffs.

Hopefully we can hang on at at least 0-0 til half time and then build on it from there.

Sadly I feel this will be a typical performance where we fail to capitalise on early pressure and go down to a cheap goal or two...

Great start! Need to score because we won't be able to keep it up...

Brilliant goal!

Grr...hate how Simpson likes to back away from people until they are in the box. We should hopefully hang on..

Lovelyhands! Great play by Collo too!

Shooooollaa!

Great play by Ameobi! He is actually doing some decent hold up play today.

Rob Brydon is pretending to be Ken Bruce on Radio 2 until 12 today.

Happy Birthday.

Starting off the day with an exam >_> But then off for some Japanese noodles before drinking some French wine and going to an English club which probably won't even have a St. Patricks Day Theme. Ah well, might head to a pub for half a Guinness (can't stomach a full one) to make amends.

Fairly pissed off, really, so not in the best of moods. Isn't helping that I'm crazy hungover and tired. Mainly because of one particular person messing me about a bit, but I guess it is also knowing that I have to actually do some work tomorrow!

Listening to the absolutely stunning 'Live in London' album by Regina Spektor. Can't fault it at all.

I actually thought Saylor looked decent going forward today, it is just that in his main duty of cutting off Arteta he just practically stood back and watched.

Don't see why everyone is turning on Enrique all of a sudden. He was far from the worst player on the pitch. Lovenkrands was non-existent to the point that I actually forgot he was playing. The game was over as soon as Kuqi came on, though. There was no one in that team with goals in them. If Nolan isn't going to score then we have no one we can rely on, and although Best did get another goal you could have stuck my dead Nan in the position he was in and she would have stuck it away as well. I will stop dreaming of Europe now and just hope for a top 10 finish. We do have the basis there for a good squad, but without Barton and a decent couple of strikers we have no hope of pushing on.

How the hell can the ref blow for full time when we have the ball on the edge of the fucking area!?

Awful refereeing.

Shefki. Oh thank god. I thought we had no hope left. What a relief it was to see Kuqi coming on!

Get Lovenkrands off ffs. Not done anything all game.

Once again other results are going our way but we are wasting it...

Just a reminder...Lovenkrands is still on the pitch. Is he?

Oh for fucks sake. Steven Taylor needs to get stuck in to Arteta or he is just going to run the show (like he is doing now).

Would rather stick Ferguson LM instead of Lovenkrands tbh. At least he will put in some effort. Anyway, I'm sure Pardew has one of his super half-time team-talks prepared...We will win this 5-2

Might as well just give up having it on the right side now.
