Today's Team
Comments (64)
This is the team I would put out today with the FA cup round the corner:
Howard
Neville, Yobo, Lescott, Baines.
Osman, Castillo, Rodwell, Pienaar.
Jo & Vaughan.
I'd play Jo playing in the hole with Vaughan leading the line... Cahill, Saha & Fellaini ready on the bench.

Not too many marks, I'm afraid...
Any links, IraqGoals from MyP2p isn’t coming up, but still early...
Live streams please lads.................
A spirited fight from the Boro could help us to 5th today. As long as the boys do the business today and march on to Wembley in winning mode. coyb!
Man Ure Champs - and the red shite leave with nothing...

Its on http://www.iraqgoals.net/ch2.html but commentary is foreign
Cheers Mark. Dutch channels are only showing Boro/Villa on their Sports channels..
Does anyone have the access code for Iraq goals? Cheers
http://www.iraqgoals.net/ch2.html
Playing some nice stuff already, looking confident. Pienaar again looks like hes up for it.
Sop cast channel: sop://broker1.sopcast.com:3912/76829
is showing it now it’s finished with the United match. better picture than Iraqui goals but still no English commentary
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Everton-v-West-Ham.
Commentary is foreign also.
Pienaar with the best chance so far.
West Ham look as if they’ve parked the bus.
Osman is shite... a bad excuse for a footballer never mind a professional footballer....
A bit early to be jumping on Osman?s back but it does look like the shite 10-year-old girl conference standard Osman has turned up today.
HAHA Told ya, c’mon the Boro boys! We could nick 5th yet!
And Downing’s calf muscle has just snapped.
I do feel sorry for Southgate at times.
Back to the game - Osman is trying at least. More than Saha.

another option, English commentary, sounds a bit mashed up though.
Stay cool Nick....he?s been injured, been slagged off but will do ok yet
Quite a good game to watch so far. We’re passing it around nicely, just need a little more urgency around their area. And I’m watching it on iraq goals with Italian commentary, don’t understand most of it but it’s better than listening to the usual crap.
0-1, as good as Nev, my arse.
Now this is a good test to see how we react. Imagine this is the final. That?s the kind of thing Lampard has been doing for years.
If Ossie is playing on our right for the FA Cup, we can forget about winning... he is pants... no backbone for the game.
To many players out today with the F A Cup in mind. Half hearted tackles and looking disinterested. Understandable really but terrible to watch. Still, they went 1-0 up at Upton Park and we won 1-3.
We are playing dodge. Saha is dodge and don't get me started on Osman. Crikey, my mrs would have more of an effect on the game. Feel sorry for Jacobsen with him in front.
I think Fellaini’s been our best player by a mile today so far... we’re passing well but no bloody chances... COYB... start creating!!!
Get in there King Louis!
A decent pen.
Cahill may have played a little to win it though.
Knowing Me, Knowing You cool as a cucumber from the spot.
COYB.
Tompkins had to go.
Good reaction to going a goal down. Would have scored if he had not been tripped over.
Good opportunity to go 5th probably today. We are limping a bit to the end of the season but you can understand a bit or reticence not to get injured like Jags and miss the Cup Final. Lets hope we pull it off today anyway, now they have ten men. And come on Boro!
We need a right midfielder desperately! Osman cannot play outwide. He drifts in too much, and it forces us to go down the left too often.
Right-midfielder please Mr Moyes!
One that can cross!
any good links to english commentary?
You miserable bunch! Yobo scored 5 minutes ago and not a peep...
Totally agree with you Peter, which is my I?ll make a comment. Get in Joseph! 2:1 BLUES!
Saha playing really well this half, obviously putting in the effort to start in the final. COYB!
A move straight off the training ground. More please.
Good chance of 5th Villa are at 1-1
"Saha playing really well this half, obviously putting in the effort to start in the final. COYB! "
I think he is playing for his career mate. Can't see us keeping him unless he performs well in next two games. Doing just that so far today. :-)
Hull have just equalised at Bolton, sticking Newcastle back into the bottom three.
Messiah my arse. Some managers are sacked after winning one in 7 games.
We?re getting too casual on the ball that could have just cost us 2 goals. Have a bleedin shot if you are on the edge of the box!
While its nice to see us try and play ?ole? football, West Ham nearly scored twice!
Should be going 4-4-2 here against 10 men, bring on Vaughan.
Great move... great goal... get in Louis!!!
Get in there Louis. Last 15 mins for JV?
Some peace of art. Congrats to lads
COYB!
Peanut did brilliantly there.... 2nd half of season he has been awesome and really stepped up when Mikel was injured. As typing, more great football ? Louis one-on-one, keeper saved then an awful header by Cahill missed a pretty much open goal! Keep this up, Blues/
How Cahill’s just missed that I don’t know
Saha @ Cahill off, JV and Jo on.
Did you see the pace of Vaughan then?
All-in-all a decent performance, and we had a couple of extra chances that could have made it look even more like a battering. But then we could have been punished by a couple of bits of sloppy play. Also glad players came through unscathed. Final fever is building.
Are you happy being a blue? Jesus H Christ......I am. And my missus (a kopite) is very quiet! COYB
Gavin Harris - im pretty sure Saha has another year on his contract.
Great movement from Osman for the third goal, no matter what you say about him he is one of the more skillful players we have in the side.
Slightly different note, I’ve just seen Shearer moaning about their disallowed goal saying Nolan’s fouling in the lead up to Taylor’s goal had been highlighted all week meaning the ref was looking for it today. Tast of your own Match of the Day medicine Shearer after all that shite with Fellaini’s elbows.
Good win today, Blue Boys. Vaughan for the FA Cup final, Saha just ain't got it... COYBs
