Celtic back to winning ways but had to wait for added time to score both the goals. A good end to a frustrating afternoon for them.

[ruffers]

Just to check, why would there being southern clubs cause half the Premiership to kick off at lunchtime?

[mockney piers]

Managed to watch 40 minutes of poor west ham defending deserve to be about 3-0 down, then was either changing nappies or feeding the mocklet for every single flippin west ham goal.

Still, happy with a win finally.

['bout now]

What a lovely christmas present. I get to watch M.O.D, buy a newspaper ( i only ever do this if the Hammers win)and stay up to listen to Cricket. Hooray.

I'd like to know how many goals we have concede from corners this season, the lessons are not being learnt there and for that reason I still think we're doomed.

Apart from that I'm really quite optimistic!

Oh my, comic genius at its best. How did it take to put that little gem together or did you get your mum to write it for you?

Mightily pissed off with Blackpool. Got 180 miles in to a 250 mile journey yesterday only for them to do the inevitable.

The original pitch inspection was supposed to be at midday, but Spirit of Shankly put pressure in them to either call it off or do it earlier. From what I can gather Blackpool was full of Scousers last night.

Game is rearranged for 12th January. Are we expecting a heatwave between now and then?

Blackpool are in for a right messy fixture pile-up before the season's over.

Come on you Gunners!

Icing on the Christmas cake. And tonight the Ashes...

For all the reasons why Chelsea v Man U has NOT been re-arranged the same night...

Matthew, I hardly think that Blackpool V Liverpool will have much bearing on who wins the Premiership...you've got to adjust to being a mid-table team...for now.

Think you're hoping for complete free-fall there. The relegation battle is going to be very messy this year with most of the bottom half of the table being involved.

Agreed kpc, You'll be there too methinks ;-)

[kpc]

Absolutely - a desperate need for anyone who can score goals. But fancy our chances of a Wembley final though.

I'll be in the Actress about half way through the first half of the Irons game if anyone's up for it...presuming they're showing it

[sunnysideup]

Are there no gooners about?

Yesterday was by far our best performance of the entire season, does no one feel the joy?

Damn, only just seen this post Quids, I would of loved to have watched the match with you :-(

...next time

[Jah Lush]

I was at White Hart Lane today. A very good couple of days for us. Two wins from two games home and away with ten men. Newcastle came to rough us up but our quality passing game won the day. Two excellent goals from Lennon and Bale. Up to fourth and above Chelsea. If we can beat Fulham at home on Saturday (which we should) that's a full nine points from three games over the Xmas period and I cant remember the last time we did that. COYS!

[Narnia]

United were crap.

[citizenED]

Yes Sunnyside up last night was our best performance and a massive boost to our whole season - I've spent the whole day smiling...

Yep. May have been a couple of technicalities about Lee Bowyer's equaliser (foul, handball, offside), but result was the least Birmingham deserved. Lee Mason's refereeing could be described as idiosyncratic (at best). or crap because it's easier to type.
