Lambert knocks it down to Chappy. The height wasn't right for him. We are making good inroads down the flanks.

The home crowd is rousing now. Sounding good. Nolan Injured.... has he even had a touch yet?

Allardyce is keeping his lot sitting back..... Surely not playing for a point already? (No, he's brought on the bigger Skate to be physical on our back line.... very anti football.) Needless corner conceded by the 'Ammers.

Fonte header from Morgan free kick, just wide.

Looks like Chaplow is doing his usual 'all action' routine to break up West 'Am in midfield. Surprise surprise the 'Ammers look to send the ball over the top. Twice in a minute. Hooivled better stay live while marking Carew. The Skate Taylor is going off, Piquionne on.... no injury, tactical. Allardyce is already going route one to counter our possession.

West Ham can't get a touch right now. Looking to hit us on the counter no doubt. Allardyce parks the bus and looks to sucker punch our profligacy in front of goal.

Actual Nuns, not our sort of 'Nuns.'

If it helps, I overtook a car full of Nuns yesterday.....

Keeping possession at the moment.... Ok start.

Immediately a shot saved from Taylor.... Skate f**ker.

Carew and Baldock keep their place after saturday, interesting.

Looks a bit like this to me: Would prefer Cork instead of Hammond and De Ridder for Connolly. Otherwise my choice. Let's see Richardson and Fox bomb down the wingers and Morgan shoring up in front of the back four. COME ON SAINTS!!

Looks like a 4-4-f**king-2 to me!

Really? Even with that wait and different airlines between the stop off point? (Lufthansa between Brum and Munich and Air Malta between Munich and Malta.)

Right, many thanks for the replies above. I have now confirmed my flights via the Kayak.com link Joensuu posted above. I will be flying from Birmingham to Malta with a 2 hour 20 min stop-off in Munich each way. (It may take a little longer, but I am ensured the chance for a nice pint on the way there and back!) The cost I will pay for the flights is £160. Cheers again guys.

Ok, Ryanair. How bad have people found them to be in the past?

There is another option of flying via Munich for about the same money and a connection time of 2 hr 20 mins both ways. Seems far more relaxed to me. Also I am familiar with Munich Airport, the worst case scenario involves legging it across that courtyard if Air Malta doesn't fly from the main Lufthansa/Star Alliance hub terminal. Oh, and yes, they would fly from the other terminal!!! Air Malta are not a member of Star alliance, yet.

No, I am stuck on the idea of Birmingham as I live either a 10 minute lift from my housemate away from it or a 5 min taxi ride to the station and then 10 minute train ride. The convenience of living on it's doorstep is blinkering my view a bit. Although if I can get to any other airport for about a fiver I would consider it.

I appreciate the heads up mate, but the logistics of getting down to London would make it less preferable, even though the actual cost is lower then going indirectly. I am certainly grateful for the option though.

Thankyou. Looks like going indirect via Zurich costs about £160. The stop over time of 'only' 1hr 10minutes is making me a little nervous though. Also if I go a day before and fly back a day earlier then intended I can go on Ryanair for £89.... but of course that excludes all of the extras they throw in. (Luggage check in charge, breathing tax etc...)

I need to get to Malta for a long weekend (fri-mon) at the back end of November to visit a relative. I am struggling as i'm on a budget and Air Malta/BA no longer fly directly from Birmingham. I have a top budget of about £200. I am open to any ideas where I could get tickets from..... I'm sure there will be people on here with better experience of trying to arrange journeys like this.

He was no doubt reaching the end of his career and for this to happen to him now may just finish him off. Hopefully not though, best wishes to the big man.

We were afterwards certainly. But beforehand (due to Huddersfield not playing that day) we were three points adrift of second place. The win at the withdean took us back into the automatic places.

Right, lets take it to the f**kers. Use Fox and Richardson's attacking runs down the flanks and stay tight in the middle by overrunning them with Chappy's energy, Cork's presence and Schneiderlin's intelligence (Or easily swap in Hammond for Morgan but I would prefer having Morgan's more calming presence in their for when they innevitably pump balls and bodies over the top.) Have De Ridder providing the pace going forward with Rickie and Guly working to find space and support each other. Bring them on.

Hmmmm, iCloud. Permission for a private company to handle my personal photographs and data. No chance. Cloud computing is not something I want, considering the latest hacking of systems at Sony I wouldn't want any company of that type handling anything that is quite rightfully and unashamedly private. Has there been any differences to battery life with the new iOS?
