what's wrong with Clark at LB he looks good on the ball
He's too good to play at left back.
Centre back or defensive midfielder I reckon.

For sure. Next season.

Playing him there for the next six months will save us money on Wayne bloody Bridge. Nice guy too. Came over for photos after the Sunderland game.

That goal from Walker is probably the best bit of play we've seen from a right back in 18 months.

Gabby appears to me to up for  the scrap.

Pires looked ancient the first 25,but the cushion of the 2 goal lead had let the team link with a bit more swagger,consequently he's been able to join in.Lets face it ,his legs look gone but he should have a slight more involvement now they'll have to open up.

Did anyone notice against Sunderland how we tried to vary our corner kick routines too,a lot more movement prior to the ball being delivered?

Hello all!
2 goals sounds promising although there's still plenty of time for this to go tits-up...
How's the game looking - is it a lucky 2 nil or a more confident 'giving it a good go' 2 nil?

Is there a station commentating on us Paulie, or are you listening to R5 pinging around the grounds as well?

Got 5L on.

It's like being back in the mid 90s again. I'm stuck on a 135k BT profile until my line stays up longer. Which basically means slightly faster than dial up for up to 72 hours, due to my router dying by way of constantly reconnecting at lower and lower speeds.

I'd rather have Clark at left back over Bridge any day of the week.

Gabby starting to put himself about.

thing is that wasn't a tackle. It's same stupid shove in the back that got him booked at Chelsea.
