He's played the last two seasons on loan at QPR.

Mancienne is quality. There are plenty of other defenders Capello could have called up... players like Mathew Upson, Anton Ferdinand etc, but lets be honest... they are never going to be England regulars and aren't international quality. I think Capello has made a smart move in calling up Mancienne, as he is young and has bags of potential (he's not on Chelsea's books for nothing). Giving him the experience of being in the squad will only be good for his future and I guarantee that if England nurture and give him chances here and there over the next two years, he'll be better than really average defenders like Anton Ferdinand, Mathew Upson etc. Too many times in the past we've opted for including players in the squad that will never have a chance of being an England XI regular, so let's see if we can develop someone like Mancienne in starting XI player (in a few years) rather than not having him and selecting average defenders like Upson/Ferdinand (sorry to keep using the same example, but It fits well IMO) So in short, well done Capello for having the balls to call up Mancienne, instead of an average alternative who will bench warm (I know Mancienne will most likely sit on the bench, but the experience will be more beneficial to him, than say Upson).

Agree that Cork needs to play centre back for the Reading game, but I think we'll probably bring back Lloyd James for right back. Wouldn't suprise me if we kept Cork at right back and played Wotton centre back :-|

Sending off could have gone either way, we had 2 others players attempt to lunge in, before Euell went in - why was there the need for our players to dive in like that? Chris Perry also needlessly jumped off the ground with two feet in the second half, but missed both player and ball... not saying he should have been sent off, but he would have been if he had made contact - why did he even need to tackle like that?? Also it's quite amusing, when all the people around me were going mental at the ref, when their centre back made a quality recovery tackle. Clearly people were still ****ed off with the ref about the red card, as I can't see any other reason for lambasting the referee for a good decision.

Wolves are bringing nearly 3000 fans.

hope we line up as: Kelvin Davis - GK Rudi Skacel - LB Alex Pearce - CB Oliver Lancashire - CB Jack Cork - RB Morgan Schneiderlin - DM Paul Wotton - DM Jason Euell - CM/AM Andrew Surman - LW Adam Lallana - RW David McGoldrick - FW Subs: Bartosz Bialkowski, Lloyd James, Jake Thompson, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Oscar Gobern.

Now that C Palace away has been moved from Tues 9th to Mon 8th, will that affect our game against Sheff Wed on Sat 6th? Usually fuss is kicked up playing twice in such short time.

We should sell Schneiderlin, Surman and/or Lallana. Use Gasmi, Pulis and Holmes as replacements. And then keep most of the cash to keep us afloat and use the rest to get Saganowski back from loan in january to pay his wages.

I'm looking for a job and have checked Reed, Jobserve and the Daily Echo, but they all want really experienced people and are offering pretty high wages. Does anyone know any websites, which have jobs that I might actually have a chance of getting? I'm not really fussed what job, some office work would be cool. Ideally equal to or more than 6.18 Per hour. My current job is annoying hours and I'm mainly doing evenings, which means I have f*** all to do during the day, because all my friends are at work, so I want normal 9-5 hours.

Billy Jones O.G I see your point though.

Of course Lowe would have wanted some of the younger players to play... lots of money was invested in the youth system, so if managers were ignoring the younger players, it would almost seem as though the academy was a waste of money and time. Don't really see the problem tbf, as playing youngsters has seen us gain alot of profit (Bale, Walcott), so it was the right idea, just now we're playing too many youngsters in the XI and thats the problem.

Friday - worked 3-10 Saturday - pub, saints game, pub, clubbing. Sunday - bed. worked 3-10 5/10 Unit is the worst club ever.

I paid a quid to get the shuttle bus thing to the stadium cos i was feeling lazy and it had to stop at the bottom of the bridge because of the police escort, so had to walk the rest, waste of money !

The old man behind me kept referring to Dele Adebola as 'Bin Laden'. Also called him a monkey a few times.

Blackburn to randomly go down.

David McGoldrick brace. We will lose 3-2 though !!!

Harry Redknapp.

Work, Town, Saints, Clubbing.

I remember when we played Barnsley away last season and drew 2-2 - Powell went to volley it clear and made a complete hash of it, slipping over and allowing the ball to roll out wide to Jamal Campbell Ryce who t watted it into the net. This summed up Powell. Always a liability when attempting to clear. Also you could see he was never confident with his own ability in clearing as there were occasions when he tried chesting the ball clear when the ball was about an inch off the ground... WTF. Charlton are very welcome to him

Rise Against - Collapse.

What was Jamie White's celebration for the third goal?

Defo bring Lallana back in if he's fit. We were ****e in the first half and only played well second half cos BWP and Gobern are impact subs, i'm not so sure they'd have played that well if they started the game.

Friday - Worked 3pm-10pm Sat - Went to Preston. Sun - Worked 3pm-10pm. 7/10.

There were fans climbing over the segregation too.

Our support was very quiet in the first half and songs only started being sung just before we scored our first goal, when many sensed a comeback. There were also a few boos at half time. HTH.
