N'Zogbia on for Bent. Good thinking. He's actually quite pro-active on the substitutions front, is McLeish.

blimey. very good reception for Maloney

Was it him that scored direct from a free kick for us at Chelsea (I think)?

Seem to recall that felt like the first time we'd done so for about 100 years.

In the 4-4 right? Was it a free kick. God I'm fucking going senile

That sub makes sense. Zog and Gab wide (presumably Zog on the right and Gab on the left), Heskey to the main target man role and Bannan to the centre. We could keep the ball well here.

Wasn't it the year before?

Actually, now I'm not even sure it was Chelsea.

*shrug* brain bit slow these days.

I think the free kick was against Man City and was his first goal for us. Think he might have got a free-kick against Chelsea too (the one Cech should have saved but let slip past). He definitely got two goals for us that day.

I recall him getting a lovely free kick goal at Man City. Carew scored that day too.
