No creativity, no ideas, no one to do something and change the game. It's like they are bored and don't want to play. Lampard's absence is clear and it's obvious how needed he is in our midfield.

@ Chris
Yeah we can, but it's just not the same without him. We played good in the second half, but we have to play good for 90 minutes, not 45.

What do you think of Ramires tho? He's been making a lot of mistakes recently...

[MikeNUFC]

I thought Ramires has been okay for you. Inconsistent, but I think he'll turn out a good player. Plus playing alongside Mikel and Khirkov against Liverpool can't have helped.

People make too much of one loss in the Prem, anyhow. No team is gunna play well every game, you're bound to slip up once or twice. Plus second half you were pretty good, I thought, especially when you're missing key players.

My accumlator for tonight is as follows (I got my hands on a nice sum of cash recently so am blowing it gambling! Fun!)

Villa to beat Blackpool
Chelsea to beat Fulham
Wolves to draw with Arsenal
West Ham to beat West Brom (my main worry, they're a decent price though)
Swansea to beat Bristol City


I've got a feeling Newcastle are gunna draw tonight, a boring stalemate.

Thing is, need to have realistic views. I mean he may not be setting the world on fire but it could take him a season or 2 to settle, Ala Malouda

Yeah, I guess you're right. The EPL is probably the most difficult league to get used to playing in.

Wolves to draw with Arsenal

Bold move there, Mike.

Joey Barton strikes again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CO6ymxx ... r_embedded

The chap is a fuckin' Looney Toon

Haha I just looked at it again, watch the crowd behind Barton after he punches Pedersen - they start clapping!

Looks that way, I think they're clapping the fact a yellow card was given to a Blackburn player.

Barton's an idiot, though. Obviously he'll punished worse due to his past but it fucks me off how he's kept his head down this season and has been class and he just decides to do this? Rocks for brains. Now he's out for 3+ games.

We were awful yesterday. Tiote had his first bad game in a toon shirt and that fucked us. Both teams played awful football, it was a horrible, horrible match.

I feel sorry for B'burn fans - they have to watch that shit week in week out.

[dR3]

That's a big mistake, he is an ex-CFC player, his cooperation with the players was outstanding, he knows the English football pretty damn well too.

Apparently Ancelotti was not satisfied with Wilkins' work with the reserve team and complained, but I refuse to believe that.

Fuck the board for not renewing his contract.
