Yeah after watching that match it looks 100 times better


Will we get belated credited in the media?

Mercifully Owen Hargreaves is stuck in snow somewhere so BT have roped in Francis Benali for the Saints Arsenal game. Which the Wenger boys are losing

Have Borussia Dortmund just sacked their manager (there was a special news conference to be held at midday) ??

Always thought there was/is a bit of a pun connection with his own name (Bosz) and that of his team's name (Borussia), in a similar way to Bobby Manc with ourselves.

So, Huddersfield beat Utd at home
West Ham beat Chelsea
Southampton leading Arsenal

Not looking so bad our last 3 wins...

And Southampton has a few chances to put it to bed earlier.
I think our last three games were huge in showing where we truly stand with this team.
They just want to win.
They find a way.

There are no easy games - even when you dominate possession and territory it is inevitable that teams will get a few chances in a game. Those results help us but at the same time should act as reminders to us all that we cannot take any game for granted.

And a good goal to boot, just when they looked a little flat.

Everton will need to come out a bit now and at this pace, anything could happen.

Don't even know why they continue to televise this shitfest, one-sided derby if Everton never take the game to em.

Switched the telly off. I'll reconvene at 4.30

Henderson had six more passes than the whole of the Everton team in the first half. A quite disgraceful stat

It really wasn't, londonblue. Uninspiring stuff

I'm sure that if there IS to be an argument for over-exposure to football, this would be it. To have more televised games isn't good for the viewers eyes or ears

Over exposure is only a factor when the product is shite. Everton, for years, have been hopeless in the Merseyside derbies. Yet, Sky still big up the game as if it means something still. They would be far better in showing a few more championship games, where there is a more equal footing. Yes, the football on offer may not be of as high a standard, nor the players known to most viewers, but it would be more exciting, which is kind of the point of a televised fixture

It's ironic you should say that nottsblue because I'd love to have seen a Forest game televised instead of this shite. They never draw!
