Looks like Pearce is doing another Forest with a strong start that peters out into toothlessness, which is a shame. I hope he pulls them through this current mire though as there's no-one I'd rather see managing in the Premiership right now other than Brian Clough and Colin Calderwood.

I knew it was too good to be true. 5 weeks into the season and only Arsenal from the big 4 is waiting to break back into the top 10.

Still, was nice while it lasted.

Here's to hoping one of the other 16 clubs can give them a run for their money (and if it's, hoping for a miracle, Portsmouth then all the better! )

And again, until Roeder has a bit of bottle and finds a starting spot for N'Zogbia that will remain the case.

I like Milner but he's more of a steady player than the direct threat of young Charlie.

Anyone see the Alonso goal tonight, sounds like a cracker??

From what I hear he belted one from inside his own half, Harper fell over trying to get back and it went in bouncing off the goal line. Nice goal, but Harper fluffed trying to get back or he would've stopped it.

But because it's Liverpool the BBC are going to big it up non-stop.

Yup great shot but Harper would have caught it if he hadn't fallen. He was no more than a few yards out when he fell and the ball landed on the line.

Nowhere near as good as the Beckham goal where he really did lob the keeper.

I liked the much flukier David Batty half-way line goal that made a mockery of Beckhams that happened a few weeks later.

Anyone got a Youtube or Googlevideo of the Alonso goal?

Irony is if Harper hadn't have backtracked he probably could've just caught it

I guess FIFA games were right. You can score goals like this : http://youtube.com/watch?v=mutd3X2dlRc

Christ.

Titus Bramble really is fucking useless.

How come we haven't got rid of him yet? Surely somebody would have him?

if he was playing for any other team I'd say "Well, Newcastle would surely take him", but . . .

I remember when Ipswich sold Titus we all went "Hahahahahaha". He was one of those players who'd be astonishingly brilliant one week and total rubbish the next three. I remember one goal he scored where he picked the ball up in our 18 yard box, ran the length of pitch, jinking midfielders and defenders, then slammed the ball into the net. We all thought he looked like he'd come out of 1982 Brazil. Oh dear.

The 3-1 win over Sunderland yesterday was truly awesome. Especially seen as Sunderland under Keane are dirty fucking thugs. We got battered off the pitch but just decided to dig in and play football. Three points. If we keep this run going until the end of the year it's going to be a tremendously interesting run till the end of the season.

That's a relief. He's been shit for 3 seasons so he must be due a season of astonishing brilliance.

Now did anyone ever expect anything else?
