Get up balo.

[Moonchesteri]

More of a pen than a couple that have been given against us though.

True that. Maybe we'll get one of those one day too..?

[Dunnylad]

Is that third beverage or goal?! A clean sheet would be great here.

Haha goal ;)

Clean sheet without our first choice back four would be great

[Blue In Bolton]

Nice to see Mario getting f-all protection from the ref as usual...

[mr_nool]

As per usual a vastly inferior team is allowed to hang on to the game by hacking the calves and shins off on our players and pulling their shirts to pieces, whereas we get called up for every little challenge.

Balo's been raped three times now. The result? Zero cards, one free kick, and two times no action taken.

[PALUS]

Nice to see Hart having a nice calm day on goal for now

At my school...two came before three! ;)

[Bluemoon16]

Silva plays best when Milner's on the field!

[mr_nool]

Tevez looks a stone heavier and a yard or two slower than during the pre-season.

[PeterParker]

Tevez looks a stone heavier and a yard or two slower than during the pre-season.

I think he is homesick.

[phips]

Yaya's passing has been off...was vs. Dortmund too =/


Silva looks good, Barry looks solid, and I really like how Milner is doing and what he
brings to the team in defense and going forward. Just disappointed with Balo really.

[Mase]

O'Shea all over Balo. I bet Will Young is fuming!!

[mirks]

Barry = better than garcia and rodwell combined!

[Manx Blue]

Tevez looks a stone heavier and a yard or two slower than during the pre-season.

A good sniff at goal will give him an extra yard of pace

[mr_nool]

Tevez looks a stone heavier and a yard or two slower than during the pre-season.

I think he is homesick.

I think he's finally discovered Boddingtons and meat pies.

[PALUS]

Lucky for us we score that goal ,,,

[Superbia]

Balotelli poor again bring on Dzeko.

[PeterParker]

Tevez looks a stone heavier and a yard or two slower than during the pre-season.

Yeah + maybe he finally went to Greggs.

[Esky]

Remember when I buzzed about Kolarov and people took the piss?

He is shit, though. He's a bit like his countryman, Siniša Mihajlović (Sampdoria, Lazio, etc.): A bloody waste of space in open play, but (almost) worth to keep on the pitch just for his set pieces.

I loved watching Mihajlovic when I was little. Didn't understand that he was largely crap, just loved his free kicks.

[Mase]

Barry = better than garcia and rodwell combined!

Are you taken the piss?

He's given the ball away more times than John O'Shea has tried to bum Balo!
