I'll wave at you if not. Trying to make it 3 wins out of 3 for me this season.

[brum]

Hope not quidsy! It'll be a tough match for you, cracking a team with the best defensive record in the Premiership...

[????]

I'm not optimistic on this Brum, we beat the Villa at home

[brum]

I knew I loved your team for some reason!

[ratty]

Fooking yes. We scored 3 own goals on one game!!!!

Went with a Norwich mate to my first ver visit to the Den.

Hmmm, nice friendly attractive ground with all those narrow grey spike fenced herding the fans.

I've seen far worse Norwich games with him though, and fans apart ;-P , Milwall were an ok team.

[????]

you should have gone to the Old Den if you like it 'nice and friendly' ::o

[daizie]

I went to the Old Den 23 years ago . A bit out-of-place I was .

[????]

Were you in The Bushwackers Daizie?

[daizie]

I wasn't personally but went with someone who was! :-$

england v wales. And a Good group for rep of ireland. A real chance of qualifying for a change. Tough for northern ireland with italy etc.

Celtic losing 2-1 to Dunfermline in the FA Cup. Hopefully we will lose and Tony Mowbray can go with the speed and efficiency that John Barnes was despatched after the Super Cally fiasco a few years ago. Mowbray has the arrogance to leave McGeady and Keane on the bench for a game that is all he has left this season.

Liked the no nonsense approach from Capello on Terry questions today

Great result for Liverpool yesterday, the players really fired themselves up for this one. Thought the Reds looked more comfortable with 10 men and just shows you don't need 2 holding midfielders and as a result Lucas had something to do and showed his quality.

Who have the republic got?? So I know who to cheer on!

[kpc]

Seemed that you played yesterday with a bit more attitude than in some of the performances I've seen - can you do that outside the context of a derby game.

We still are the same old City unfortunately ! Ade and Toure were bloody useless, Viera booked within 5 mins of play. We are seriously missing Dunne at the back. I feel some of the players are listening to the hype but not living up to it. I would've thought that Robinho would have been a wake up call- No-one is bigger than the club but it seems to fallen on deaf ears. We are not out of the race but unless we beat Bolton on Tuesday, we have squandered our 3 game in hand advantage

RIP Gill Merrick. I played for the same junior school team as Merrick, a few years later, mind!

Good result today. How many times has Kev Phillips left the subs bench and bailed us out? Great player.

[jimmy two times]

Sack Wenger.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh that's just silly jimmy. Serious problems at arsenal but sacking wenger is the kind of reactionary phone-in nonsense that makes me turn off the radio

[Bluerevolution]

Yeah sack Wenger, getting rid of Hughes has made a huge difference for us ?????

[????]

er, Jimmy is a Spud fan fellas

[jimmy two times]

Really? I've seen good managers sacked for a lot less. Why is he untouchable? I think he has blinkers and can be tactically deficient. What Arsenal lacked today was a Drogba-like, big strong striker who is good in the air, can hold the ball up and can finish. He had the nearest thing in Adebayor and sold him. Bad decision. As a consequence all Arsenal's play is now in front of the opposing defence. They never get behind their opponents. There is no real width and I rarely ever see an Arsenal player get to the byline and get a cross in. The reason is probably because they don't have anyone in the box who can head the crosses in.

Also they are terrible at defending set pieces. I have heard, from a coaching contact, that Arsenal don't practice defending corners. It shows. Wenger has one way of playing in his mind and no plan B. Even Barcelona, who are the best team in the world, recognised that they needed a big strong striker in the summer and they went out and splashed the cash on Ibrahimovic.

Wenger should be under pressure.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Under pressure Is not the Same As get rid

but then, as quids says..
