They'll be out burning their shirts on the streets next. Bit like when SG was considering coming to us. Small minded people.

Like everyone else it was between Ramires and Cech. As I've voted for Cech a lot lately I'm going for Ramires this time. Think we've got a Gem there and very unlucky not to score.

What you see in Sturridge and what I see are two completely different things. IMHO will never be good enough so if we can recoup some money for him now, lets do it.

I agree. Could live with that deal.

Hope we get him but really think it's over and he's staying till the summer. If the move was on I can't really see Benfica playing him tonight.

good all round display and no one stood out. I picked Cech

Really hope this happens. Ivan has went from strenght to strenght this past two seasons and along with Cech has easily been our best performer.

Like he said.

Good player but I think he's trouble and wouldn't want him near the squad.

We need a win and a performance tonight to try and get a bit of confidence running through the team before our hard run of games. That's the reason for a strong team. As far as Josh playing, I think at the moment he's our only reserve able to make the step up.

Yes Nibs I know it's hard to show a lot in small appearances, but all I'm looking is some basic control and decision making which may indicate quality. I'm honestly not seeing this. Also I think he has had more than the odd 10 mins here and there, with at least a couple of starts. He's 21 now and can't put Kalou out of the team says it all. Nibs it would give me great pleasure in a year or so to admit I'm wrong.

This is not on just todays performance. Since he has been at the club he has done very little to impress. I know many people on here put a lot of faith in him but I don't see were you get your evidence. To me he looks like a headless chicken most of the time and just like a younger version of Kalou.

Same old, same old today again. Dominate play, but a combination of sloppy defending and missed opportunities costs us points. For all our pocession we are not creating enough from mid-field and sorely miss lamps. As for Sturrige, each match he just reaffirms my early assessment of him; not good enough and certainly not good enough to replace Kalou and I'd like to see him disappear shortly and go with someone with genuine potential.

If they had been wearing Arsenal shirts he would have been creaming himself. Prick.

Depends on how much you like pain moi. Hard to beat a bit of Wilko on guitar

Must admit I have been a Sinead fan for a long time, thought I was the only one. Moi are you joining us on O'Connor isle. Maybe it's just the name Sinead but I do enjoy, in my lonely moments, listening to this. Much prefered to the Dylan version. (that should get a response)

This is something that I have been meaning to ask those who watch reserve games. How is he in front of goal.

Mikel by a mile. How anyone could select any of our forward line is beyond me. I guest people see things differently.

Cech for me also. Back to his best.

250/1

I have confidence that our squad can carry us through the next number of matches in good shape. They are difficult fixtures but could have been worst. This will give others like Yuri and Ramires an opportunity to stand up to the plate. It's the forward line which is bothering me more at the moment and we are really missing Lamps goals when the forwards have dried up a bit. Maybe a good opportunity for Josh to get some extra playing time, as from what I have seen so far I don't think he will look out of place. The positive thing to come out of Lamps Injury and Essiens absense is the fact that they will both hopefully be back fresh and up for it during the holiday period when we have many difficult matches over a short period.

3-1 with Moscow scoring in the last minute.

Going for 2-1. Blackburn will put up a tough fight but I think our class will win through in the end.
