Was Jay Tabb any use? He’s a player I always liked. Reid, Hoolahan and Tabb could be our tiki-taka midfield.

I see Alex Pearce is on the bench tonight. At least he didn’t concede 7 but has he been in and out of their team?

Jumpers for goalposts.

Can someone bump the Mick McCarthy thread please.

Cracking header by Noel Hunt last night

The mighty Villa needed a last minute goal to see off the mighty Swindon. Benteke with 2. Lambert wasn’t impressed with him last night but he has had a great start to his Villa career. Gabby’s goal was the pick of them though. Ireland with a good assist for the first

Gabby got a cracker in fairness to him KIB.

But he only seems able to score in this competition which is a pity, when he arrived on the scene i thought he was a big star in the making. What has happened? Negative managers? Playing out of position?

I think that Benteke lad looks a decent player. Always thought Agbonlahor was talented too - can’t be easy playing in that team over the past few years but don’t think there’s much between him and Young.

ouch- the final nail in the coffin for KIBMAN - Rocko throwing him a few crumbs out of pity

The Manchester United support have a couple of amusing banners at Chelsea:

“Clattenburg, Referee, Leader, Legend.” Mimicking the similar John Terry “Captain, Leader, Legend” banner Chelsea fans display.

Also “Chelsea FC - against racism since last Sunday.”

“You’re just a shit Swansea City”, sing the Swansea fans to their hosts at Anfield.

Nani scored as good a goal as you’ll see this year from start to finish a few minutes ago. Nick Powell looking extremely assured here for a kid his age.

KIB_man · October 31, 2012, 9:34pm

Went mad on the weights the summer MON left. Seemed to lose a lot of his speed. Was going well back then as a lone centre forward but had the likes of the majestic Ashley Young supplying him. He is a pretty dumb lad though and lacks game intelligence. Rare enough to see him score a tap in and doesn’t seem able to read a game
at all.

Hazard

Wooton looked capable of doing something stupid like that for the entire second half. Cracker of a game actually, fancy Chelsea for the win now. Giggs looks absolutely knackered, and Wooton won’t hold out for another 30 mins I don’t think.

Captainshan · October 31, 2012, 9:40pm

Fuck sake. Ready to celebrate a hard fought win

Rudi · October 31, 2012, 9:45pm

I think there may have been a few posters on here who rated that useless cunt Romeu?

myboyblue · October 31, 2012, 9:47pm

Don’t read too much into it mate, there’s posters on here that rate Mick McCarthy.

myboyblue · October 31, 2012, 9:48pm

Wooton :lol:

Rudi · October 31, 2012, 9:49pm

Wooton is a botton.

Rudi · October 31, 2012, 9:50pm

Mick McCarthy is a very good manager.
