Nope. 57

Thought James looked a bit poor TBH. No pace and useless in the air. Crosses from too deep. All a bit Jermaine Wright.

Pretty much what I saw. Didn't see much of Oldham, but that ground is a bit tin-pot. At least I could see my car from my seat.

Oh bugger.

This can only lead to b-itching.

FFS Jenson, you're really getting dragged kicking and screaming to this WDC.

Nope, bullfight in Mexico. They had patches. We were the better side for most of it, but there were times, like the first 10 minutes and about 15 minutes around the time of their goal when I thought they could get something.

Was listening to Yorks radio on the way home, a Donny fan rang in and sounded impressed by Gillett.

Just back from the match. Brilliant day out by all accounts. It was a pretty open game for the most parts, with Oldham definitely having their moments in control, but we were defensively excellent. The only sour point was their goal when we seemed to fall asleep and James was left blowing bubble chasing their players. The first two goals were at the other end. I thought Lambert got the first until I checked. The second... I don't know what was going on there, I'll have to see the highlights. One minute the 'keeper is lying there and appeared to have both hands on the ball. The next the net is ripling. It was all a bit Massimo Taibi. The third was just brilliant. Connelly on his debut, cool as you like. Entertaining game, I wouldn't say 3-1 flattered us, but all 4 goals game from bad mistakes or poor marking. As for the players: Davis - 8 One excellent stop first half from a 1 on 1 effort going for the top corner. Dealt with most stuff, if a little 'punchy' at times. James - 5 Lacks pace, can't jump and seems afraid of the halfway line. All his crosses came from far too deep. Jaidi - 8 Won just about everything in the air. Trottman - 8 Very good all round performance. Harding - 7 Solid, they didn't get a sniff down our left. Not all that going forwards. Waigo - 7 Caused Oldham all problems with his pace. Delivery needs working on. Hammond - 8 Decent goal and ran the midfield well. Wotton - 7 His usual hard working shift. Won some key tackles. Bit less hoof too. Schneiderlin - 6 A good passer, but no stand-out moments. Missed a glorious chance from one of many goalie fook ups. Lallana - 7 Good on the ball, but can't put in a left footed cross. Lambert - 8 Good in the air and a decent free kick. Very hard to defend against. Subs: Antonio - 6 A couple of good runs in the time he had available. Will do well in this league. Connelly - 8 Looked very lively and took his goal excellently. Great find. And finally - Oldham's defence and 'keeper was just comical. It was like watching Saints under Burley. Badly organised, p*ssing about on the ball and poor individual mistakes. We had two players unmarked for the first, the goalie had a howler for the second and defenders were half asleep when Connelly robbed them for the third. Another mix up led to Schneiderlin putting wide from about 8 yards.

I read that twice as 'Madonna'. Bit worrying.

The way I understood it, ML basically told our creditors, "I'll take over and give you £15m, up front, now, all of it. Or the club gets liquidated and you get squat."

Makes a change from having Kelvin in the best CCC team every week.

Just seen the highlights from last year on the beeb website. Funny think was the BBC commentators, unlike Brundle and Allen, didn't notice Hamilton passing Glock and were convinced Massa had won the WDC until they saw the timing screnes.

Didn't realise he was that old.

I quite liked the article on Jan-Paul Sakhi and Jan Portability last season. Imagine not being able to spell Konerlie's name right...

Pipe down commie anarchist!

Thought I was slightly right of centre actually.

You've forgotten Pull Dickov

If you ever get the chance to go down a floodlit tobogan course at night, do it. I've done it twice and I swear it's the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.

I'm sure Griffit played up front when he scored. Replaced Tessem up front on his debut.

I think I said 15th at the start of the season and I've seen no reason to chance that opinion.

I've got a funny feeling the WDC will go down to the wire. Perhaps with Vettel something like 8 points behind Jenson going to Abu Dhabi. Dunno why, maybe it's just me being paranoid and not daring to believe.

Finland, early February. Brilliant, but I was freezing my tits off and needed a dump.

Some think to the tune of Akon - Make Love (Na na na na) (Lallanana) I'll sleep on it, see what I come up with... SJIH, no we'll just end up singing pompey fan on a string and OWTS and 900mph probably.
