Plaed pretty well , shold hav taken one of the rebounds. The stream wen't down in the last 10 so will have to reserve judgement on the Rodriguez chance at the end. Pleased for Boruc. Good point, 4 clear, now lets get something from the 2 home games.

Was anyone else watching Man U last night reminded of a certain Oscar Gobbern ? Nani's attempted interception was good, although it lacked drama of Gobberns Kung-Fu at Bournemouth. Oscar managed to travel some yards in mid air seemingly in slow motion as he attempted pull his front foot out of the tackle. Nani went for the more instant mid air leap, six studs in the stomach. I think Oscar deserves more credit, and just like the 'Cruyff turn' , any future marshall arts should be known as 'The Gobbern'.

I am coming over for the West Ham game . Hope your piles have eased up by then Sanchez/Dune . Did you not see the finish by Ramirez for the equaliser? . First mistake Yoshida has made in a long while, but never mind, hang him anyway. I am not happy that we lost, least of all to the media's darling, but I still have hope that we can pick up 2 or 3 wins to stay up.

Two bad bits of defending cost us. I hate Howard Webb, we never win with him in charge and Mbia committed about 20 fouls after he was booked. Had a bad feeling about this one all day, after 6 Music played Shady Lane by Pavement. The first time I ever heard it was the last 2.1 hoemdefeat by QPR. I will stay away from the media theis weekend as it well be all genius Harry. We really do need to work on defending long diagonal balls.

So how much are PST, the ethical option, going to increase the CVA by, given the £4,0000,0000 windfall that they have just received ?

Something for MP to think about, the way they stretched and isolated our defence, particularly in the first half. Newcastle are on the up since the transfer window. Must learn for this for next week. Fonte back to calm the back four down I hope. I am of down the lane to watch the league cup final, before the bed wetters take over.

Brilliant goals from Rickie and Morgan, and bossed the match. Don't know what Davis was doing behind the defense for thge equaliser. Played the scorer on, not on the post just lost. Keep playing like that and we should be OK, but need to hold on for the win. One nil down with 20 minutes to go, even the bed wetters would have settled for a point.

Great point. Good Selection. Great spirit. Can't be in the bottom 3 before we kick off against Everton. To come back from 2 goals dowm against Chelsea is no mean feat. SRL in doble figures as well. One senetence paragraphs. I am not Neil Allen from Skatesmouth news, jsut had a few beers.

Boruc was awesome today. We lacked a bit of urgency in the 2nd half to kill it off, but a great result. Dubai Phil could be having fun with the Ladyboys tonight.

Paul Weller at the Isle of Wight Festival a few years ago. Kept going off stage for a fag, leaving the band to play on. That was when it was legal to smoke om stage, god knows what he is like now days. Iggy Pop was miles better.

999999 times out of 1,000,000 Jerome puts that shot in the stands. Stoke just kept coming, and 10 men didn't effect them at all. Good set up by NA, unlucky that Guly couldn't hit tthe target and that JRod's cross was too strong for Rickie.

He didn;t jave a good game at the weekend, especially in the 2nd half, but there is no doubting his ability, and I certainly think he is a better buy than stewart Downing or Jordan Henderson for similar money. It can take time to adjust to a new league. Benzema looked like a fishup a tree in his first season at Real Madrid but I don't think they would sell him now. Also, I have seen MLT have some stinkers in the past. Still the best player ever to wear the shirt.

We need to play Reeves out left for the next couple of games. None of the wide men played well, one corner from De Ridder does not count as a good performance, although that is better than his usual contribution. Guly looked lively though, but it needs a rethink for Fulham.

From the news Pompey are already in Hartlepool after setting off via coach on Thursday. Two nights in a Hotel for a league one side is pushing the boat out, but for one in Admin ?? Facepalm thingy !

Enjoyed the last 2 minutes, very relaxed as the score had already come up on SKY. Decent performance, good clean sheet. I was only ever worried about free kicks and corners for them. Out of the bottom 3 and 2 weeks to prepare for the next one.

Good performance. One mistake all game and punished. Definite penalty, certain booking for williams which was his second. Ref bottled it. Keep that team and we will pick up more points. They need to learn that if in doubt put it in row Z or even AA

I think Landford Saint may have a point. If Barclays reposess a house from a bankrupt, they do not have to sell it to a bid they regard as too low, no matter how many valuations to potential buyer may have.

Scored the goal that took us to Wembely. Dribbled the ball up Frank Clarke's arse at the start of the 2nd half when a square pass to Austin Hasyes would have put us 2 nil up. He was also very consistent with his crossing, picking out the away section in the Archers road every time.

Puncheon was just looking to score, taking far too many touches and getting caught out, so he had to come off. as bollockings from ther line weren't sinking in. Not sure why RL came of so early, but we weren't winning the ball up front, and he made a difference. Defensive shape looked better until we got stretched in the last 20 minutes. No cover from AL for both goals. Glad there is an international break to get some people back to fitness.

Yoshida looked class, and we looked much better with 2 full backs that can mark. Puncheon responded well to the rocket he must have got up his arse at half time. Ricke needs one morre goal to beat Paul Mersons target ( won't score 5 ) Liked the look of the keeper, although he didn't have much to do. Zambian lad looks a handgull too. As for Gaston, you can see why we signed him. Oozed class and worked his socks off. Fantastic signing.

One thing I did like was when Arsenal broke down the left late on, and crossed towards someone umarked on the far post, Ramirez ran from the half way line, slid in and passed it back to Kelvin to clear. Clyne and Puncheon were caught upfield. I thought it showed a great attitude and a good reaction to a dangerous situation, especially compared to Puncheon, whose reaction to a pass being intercepted was to drop his shoulders and sulk.

Thought the centre backs did ok. KD should have done better with the 2nd, and we either need to board up the near post, or get another keeper. JWP was class and Ramirez looked good but we have to start defending the flanks better. Thought JyRod looked much better up the middle. Gordon or Boruc on a free please.

The skates better stop winging about the reffing conspiracy letter. Beian Howard got away with a straight red momemts before the 2nd goal and there was no conracr for the first sending off. Cheating continues ....

At the moment it is very fine margins. If Fox had headed it out for a corner at City, if Rickie had put his header against Wigan in the same spot as yesterday, and if Fonte had wacked it out for a throw in, we could be mid table now. Some things we are going to have to work with, the Left back problem for a start where someone has to defend wide. I am sure that we wont see subs like that again. I thought at the start that 4 forwards was a bit unbalanced. NA may not have anticipated having to defend a lead for 40 minutes. Maybe Chaplow would have been a better sub for one of the wide positions ? I still hope we can bring in a few free agents ( Grosso and Boruc would be good), but I hope that the results will pick up as we get more used to the new shape. All of the back 5 made mistakes yesterday, but we have few options other than coaching them through it. Skirtel and Reyes have made some howlers lately, so **** happens.

But can they play centre half or left back ??
