I hope so. He's got the passion - give him a few years to properly develop

5 GOALS!! Bloody hell

Although this is great does'nt mean IMO that we don't need a clear out of strikers, and get a couple of world class players in.
I'd rather we blew the budget on on just one or two players, than 4 or 5, two or three million pound rated unknowns or has beens.

Great all-round performance - particularly from Stevie G, after his Sunday blunder.

Glorious to see God off the mark, too.

It's only Fulham, but now would be a good time to ride a wave of confidence - eight games to go, daylight opening up between third and fourth, keeping up the pressure on the Mancs...

Good news from KopTalk Insider, too - Benitez has deffo signed to 2010.

And big backslaps to the Boro. Stroll on.

Don't beat yourself up it was only the UEFA Cup not a proper competition

So, let's get this straight then. Clubs like Chelsea can appeal and overturn bad red card decisions, but Ipswich can't.

And how much money does Ipswich have...?

there, fixed that for you

Seriously, Boro scraped through by the skin of their teeth. Roma had their chances and Schwarzer had an unusually good game (for him). Not quite the glorious sweep into the UEFA cup we'd imagined but when we win it, noone will remember that game anyway

What in god's name is happening?

7 goals in 2 games!!!

We'll be in Europe at this rate. It's only Liverpool next week

Come on Pompey . . .

(I had to endure this with Southampton every Saturday during last season's run-in, now I'm back for more punishment

)

I sure hope so!

Another draw for Leeds, and the Blunts lose again. 4 points away, with a game in hand and the Blunts to play. Leeds are coming back!

W00t-h00!

Just got back from Doncaster and the Ref vs. Forest. I've been eharing these horror stories and saw the matches on telly all season but having finally and against all financial sensibilitude gotten to a game in this pissant division I can see wht most Forest fans are acting like snobs about our position - we are simply used to better. Doncaster's ground is fucking shit and the officials at this level might as well stay at home. I remember now why I stopped going to see Lincolon when I visit my parents... what a load of cock.

Still, a great win today, I also got to see the new Stan Collymore in action

Also, on this day in 1978 it was the Liverpool league cup final at Wemberlee that started, as a mate has pointed out, 'the cup avalanche'. If I wasn't heading back into work tonight I'd be getting right tipsy, I tell thee.

/me wanders off singing 'we hate Yorkshire'

Heh. Feeling this good about footie has been a very long time coming indeed. I was walking back from the match today, knowing I'd miss my train as the match overran and not caring, and was considering getting a replica shirt (something I've never been arsed with doing) and having 'Goatboy' on the back. So I must be happy
