Fuck off Chopra.

Calamity James was at fault for two of the goals, the other one was us losing the ball in midfield because for some reason Kilkenny wasn’t on the field for most of the game.

I’ve said all summer we need two strikers, a rightback and a winger. Sheridan has had 2 months to sign these players and has failed to do so. If he doesn’t act now, our return to League 2 will be swift.

No shots on target all game and only 3 off target. Fucking joke.

You’ve got a great player there, with a bright future in front of him.
He was instumental to our 7 game winning run last season but fell out with the then gaffer Malky and we sold him as a result.
If he keeps fit and keeps his form he will tear the league up for you.

Delighted that we got 3 points on the board nice and early. 63% possession and twice as many shots as Palace who sat back and let us dictate which was surprising. Can we end the season now with us in 5th please?

All today’s draws inspire me even more that we’ll grab something. Just hope we play 5 in midfield and put Miller up front on his own.

I think the two seasons in League 1 have really helped Lallana cement a place in the team. Looks to be improving a lot. Anyone see the match? How did he play?

I thought he was very good, but Jack Cork was the stand-out player, Jose Fonte was excellent as well.

When he came on they were already 3-0 up, he looked dangerous with a lot of pace, but at that stage the rest of the team weren’t playing with as much urgency.

Apparently Sharp has broken his leg in 3 places according to Fourth Official. I don’t like him at all but that’s horrible.

That’s Donny well and truly fucked.

KENNY LAD. Fuck off Nolan you scouse cunt, cup final you say?

Granted we were battered for near on 90 minutes but we defended brilliantly. Miller’s great, does fuck all then his one shot slips past Englands number 12. Wonderful. Great pair of bollocks from Gestede to win the ball for the goal as well.

So happy.

West Ham v Cardiff

The first 10-15 minutes were scrappy but once we had settled down I though we dominated the game. Although we didn’t capitalise on our possession or any of the very few goal scoring opportunities. As the game progressed Cardiff came into it more and more and managed to nick the win thanks to some poor defending by Ilunga and an absolute howler (the more you see it the worse it looks) by Green. Although had it not been for a great save by him earlier we would have been one down already. Although there are many plus points to take from the game it is frighteningly apparent that Sam has him work cut out in turning around our brittle fragility and toothless attack.

I hope LLPaulJ had a good away day – git.

I’m delighted to say I was at the Brighton game. The atmosphere was amazing, especially when the flags came out in force just before kickoff, and the place exploded when Buckley scored the winner. I can’t believe we are in a position to spend a million on someone and just leave him on the bench!

We drew 1-1 with Shresbury, Carl Flethcer (my favourite man on the planet) with a last minute equaliser. We looked better than I’d feared, nine players were making their debuts but we didn’t look like a team who’d never played together, a lot of work needs doing but there’s a decent team in there somewhere, before Saturday I really feared a third consecutive relegation, I’m much more confident now. It was absolutely fantastic, after all the financial misery of the summer it was so great to be watching Argyle play football again, it was great to be amongst Argyle fans again (there were over 1,200 of us there which, considering the circumstances, is excellent) and the goal celebrations were incredible, it felt more like we’d just won promotion rather than earned a point on the first day. It meant so much to all of us and all the players. Fletcher is an absolute hero, he’s only been here two and a half seasons but he’s become as much a fan of the club as any of us, his passion is incredible and he deserves enormous credit for keeping the team otgether last season whilst they had points taken from them and went unpaid for months. They never gave in. I love football, I’m so glad it’s back.

We’re playing Leicester today, already conceded six in two games, can’t see our defence improving with a new LB and a CB with a bit of pace, it’s going to be a long season.

I was happy when he joined and think he has something to offer, albeit a very one dimensional something.
But at the moment, i actually think mini-me could be more effective in the air. And the only contribution he’s had in the few games i’ve seen is to stretch his shirt.
Hopefully he’ll come good soon but as a team Troy is more effective. Big chris just isn’t working.

Whats your feelings on him??

It was the first ‘Derby Della Cuore de Ghedebrav’ last night, and Forest had the beating of poor old Donny, my home town club.

A valuable three points gained for Forest (and I’m willing now to revise my ambitions and declare that I’ll be happy with mid-table obscurity this season), but I fear for Rovers. Relegation beckons for this extraordinary club.
