It is a pretty sick free kick. It's so perfectly deposited into the corner.... Elano probably couldnt replicate it with such perfection if tried another 100 odd times.

!!!! ...

Just what I was thinking watching Sam speak about this before the game. Any claims that Owen will make a record time (or even normal time) recovery are pretty improbable.

We were certainly like jazzmen of the football pitch when we finished 11th in Sir Bob's first full season in charge.

Alright calm down please Bawan man...

Some people have short memories then. Second rate compared to Arsenal, not so much compared to the football of the last two seasons.

Because it's annoying. get a grip matt Not having a go... Was just curious, you do what you want. Just that from a personal perspective it makes your posts more annoying to read.

lol injokeaments © spongebob Caught the bug then, Matt? Was taling about that last week. Playing Martins although sometimes frustrating is +EV... Shola can score a goal now and then but is very much -EV

Because it's annoying.

Why do you never capitalise the first letter of players' names? Are you the actual DrG from the website?

Surely that's got to be the obvious choice of a set up! Praying this is how we line up against Everton.

Probably be back with Smith-Geremi-Butt as well in the next game tbh.

Especially Smith... both ends of the "Attacking Midfield" spectrum him and Elano.... Smith has just been stroling around all game.

Maybe there was just no way we were going to contain their full flowing style with the people we have on hand... but it's pretty annoying to see the team get shat on like that.

What's with the venom? He's been pretty good today.

Again, much like the Derby game, not at all happy with Sam's tactical decisions, feel he takes a big share of the blame here if things stay the same.

Him in a nutshell. Manages the sublime with apparent ease then messes up the simplest of chances to get a shot on target.

Taylor, fucking woeful. Rubbish tbh... whoever put that header straight in the path of Petrov with 50 yards to run into is to blame.

It's the predictability of the midfield battle that is most annoying right now tbh. Was clear with players like Elano and Petrov they were going to run at us, yet nothing really seems to have been put into place to counter this.

Are you refering to that tackle early on? If so, I actually think the ref was right not to give a booking. It looked bad but it was one of those sliding along the player then trying to nick the ball rather than laying straight into Mpenza.

Martins is +EV!! A scorer of quality goals indeed.

There we go Milner already having a better game than last week out on his more natural right side

Confirmed NUFC Starting XI: Delighted with the front line... not so much with that midfield line up though, same old foursome I see. Hopefully Milner will have a much better game than last week.

Understandable I guess Would be disapointing not to have him out there this afternoon, so let's hope she can wait until Monday or tomorrow before she pops.

That'll never happen though. Much like Dyer, it's a cycle and he'll never be fully fit or not have any problems over a long period of time.
