Wrong I'm afraid, we really missed him; James was pretty poor today. You obviously haven't seen the new improved Schneiderlin under AP. He's been strong, getting tackles in, winning balls, picking up second balls and his range of passing is a huge asset to the team. And if by conditions you mean the weather that's a silly argument, just look at Southend away when it was much worse playing conditions then today.

Meh

I'm sure someone on here will have a spare ticket if you keep your eyes peeled

Sound like losers to me, I expect they were bullied at school and feel the need to reaffirm their perceived social and intellectual status to themselves at every given opportunity as a consequence.

Just had an email from the ever helpful David Luker, just under 1900 sold and not likely to rise much higher. Still not bad at all.

I'm pretty worried about James at RB for this one, as they do a lot of their attacking down their left flank, through Snodgrass. I would be tempted to play Thomas there if I was AP, as at least he is strong, so could potentially keep him quiet. All I can see James doing is getting caught out and giving away freekicks and penalties.

Pardew's doing exactly the right thing in playing bigging up Leeds and playing down our chances. We can now really go there and 'let our hair down' as he said. And when we let our hair down and play in a relaxed style, we're good. You only have to look at the Walsall game to see that.

Agreed. Whilst we have as good a chance as ever to be able to get a result, we have to remember they are the league leaders. It's going to be a very tough game and I don't think anyone should get their hopes up too much. Nevertheless, I can't wait to get on the train Saturday morning!

Indeed!

Excellent, cheers for the info.

From what I've seen/heard he appears to be a raw talent, who certainly has promise. Hopefully, if this rumour is true, Mr Pardew can combine the fitness and diet regime he's given to Lambert with the good handling of younger players like Lallana and Morgan, and mould us a nice diamond from the rough, so to speak.

Deserves to be banned from games for life and also hope he does it to the wrong person and sees what happens.

'Grant Holt is a C*nt'

Rested against Norwich because of a 'knock', does anybody know whether this was just a precaution and whether he is likely to be back in the squad for the Leeds game? Would be a great boost if he is.

I didn't realise Charles Dickens included Hull City players in his novels!

Really? seems a strange way of doing it

Does anyone happen to know how it is decided who is at home/away for each leg of the area finals? Guessing we'd rather play away first...

I f*cking love the Saints! Great confidence boost for Bart. James and Antonio should learn from that experience too. Bring on Leeds and the next round.

SSN reporter been singing Melis' praises all game saying he's been our best player

At least there's still 35 minutes left

Oh no

SSN presenter: 'It's never dull when the MK Dons are involved' lol!

Dam

Sounds as if our midfield is calling the shots at the moment- I really like the Hammond and Morgan partnership.

True dat It's pretty entertaining to see Norwich fan's comments too
