Arteta is on the bench, be suprised if he gets on but how good does it feel to see him back.

Carry on the good form lads, here's to a big win.

Oh Jesus! I’m about to miss my 1st game of the season and Mikki’s making a comeback

Gerry Quinn

Bench is starting to look as good as the field - haven’t said that for years. Certainly some options starting to show up

I got quite emotional when I saw Mikky’s name as a sub! Feel so good to have him back, and so pleased for him.

If we see him get on the field today the reception he’ll get will probably send me into tears. We’ll be 2-0 up by then anyway so happy days all round.

Wilson Tan
18 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:09:00

Counter attack as a result of a poor everton freekick.

Guy Hastings
19 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:09:08

All came from that fucking awful free kick. Soneone else take ’em for fucks sake!

Jamie Barlow
20 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:09:20

All that came from another useless free-kick from Baines. Fuckin rubbish.

Michael Tracey
21 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:09:51

okay lets stop talking how great we are all of a sudden and work out how we are 1 nil down after 6 minutes. ffs

Nick Entwistle
22 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:10:30

Links are shit, wouldnt suprise me if the powers at be are messing with them somehow... grrrrr. Surely Bily should have been on that free kick?

Raymond Choi
23 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:11:31

Christian : you can watch it on

http://www.veetle.com/viewChannel.php?cid=4b05959c0d76b

Maged TV perfect now, correct commentary. Come on BLUES

Tom Winek
25 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:13:10

Cahill loves a dive this season

Jamie Barlow
26 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:14:22

Surely there is someone who plays for Everton who can take a free-kick. Do they not practice these things?

thats my Everton, quality hoofball..

Gerry Quinn
34 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:23:50

Not in this game yet, are we? Poor movement and lethargic - the crowd needs to get on their back - they sound frustrated

Andrew Oxton
35 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:23:25

If you have sopcast, get on this one, its very good, even if everton are NOT (at the moment)

36 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:24:24

The commentator for some odd reason thinks it is better to go 1-0 in the 6th minute opposed to the 89th. Please discuss.

Gerry Quinn
37 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:24:39

Our passing is shocking - overhitting everything, what did they have for brekky this morning?

Simon Smith
38 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:24:19

bloke on the com, its better to go a goal down from 0-0 early on????

How else you going to go a goal down!!!! TWAT!!!

John Audsley
39 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:25:23

all my pre-match good vibes have gone south

bloody awful so far

Where’s Landon?? He’s never available...

Simon Smith

Brum are doing to us what we did to the arse not letting us settle

Gerry Quinn

Spot on Simon

Simon Smith
45 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:30:33

Forgot to say, Afternoon one and all from a very grey looking north cambs uk

James Greem
46 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:30:59

Yep, no option but to hit long..

Brian Waring
47 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:27:42

Brum are doing an us, on us! They are getting in our faces, defending from the front and we are reverting to type, misplaced pass after pass, and just hoofing it up.

Kieran Kinsella
48 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:30:17

Here’s an analogy. Everton are a guy on a date. Birmingham are the thug who can’t get a date so decide to glass the guy on a date to stop him having a date as well. They wiull never amount to anything with laughably bad big time charlies like McFadden, Ferguson who enjoy being big fish in small ponds because they can’t hack it with good teams. Once McLeish gets to spend $50m sending them into debt they won’t be around for long a la Portsmouth. Watch this space.

John Audsley
49 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:30:59

Barry Ferguson’s a gobby bastard

Simon Smith
50 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:31:49

got to get a foot on the ball look for the pass and make it count!

Jamie Crowley
51 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:33:35

Does anyone else think Baines has been horrible today?

James Greem
52 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:33:19

KK- who cares they’re playing us at our own game and making us look garbage..

Gerry Quinn
53 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:33:11

Roll on halftime - Moysie SCREAM at them to move faster!

Jamie Barlow
54 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:35:45

Baines has been awful all season bar a couple of games.

Brian Waring
55 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:34:33

Kieran, that big fish in a small pond is running the midfield at the moment.

Gerry Quinn
56 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:09

Not bad Pienaar

James Greem
57 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:35

Where the fuck is Donovan!?!?! He just had his second touch FFS!!!

Simon Smith
58 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:07

be a good time to score just before ht, but then anytime is a good time to score, i will say it before someone says it for me!

Ray Said
59 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:56

Is this not just like us-our form is up and down like a whore’s drawers.
here’s to a better show in the second half

Jamie Crowley
60 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:08

FUCK!!!

Gerry Quinn
61 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:40:32

Donovan and Billy are not going to get many passes when they have to look up 20ft !

Ged Simpson
62 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:57

That’s us fucked

Brian Waring
63 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:40:07

Yes Kieran, a big fish in a small pond hey!

Christopher Brierley
64 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:39:11

Now birmingham have the goal they are really packing the midfield and our passing is just too god awful at the minute to find a way through. Landon has completely disappeared so far this half. oh and now they’ve scored again..what a bag of shite.

Simon Smith
65 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:41:10

That barmy day back in april with a semi win over the mancs seams a long long way away......Shit

Guy Hastings
66 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:09

Just abysmal all round.

Ste Lewis
67 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:11

Birmingham are playing very well.

John Audsley
68 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:41:10

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats far too easy and simple

To everyone who thought we had turned the corner last week

We Havent.....

Mark Dullahan
69 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:38:48

Think we might see lego head sooner than expected!!!!

Roy Mcleod
70 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:15

Big task now...they are a classic midfield spoiling..counter attacking side

and they’re good at it

Will Leaf
71 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:41:31

I hope Distin is still injured

Kieran Kinsella
72 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:21

I can’t believe we just let someone who’d get kicked off most pub football teams for being a belligerant drunkard score at Goodison. Obviously the city performance went to everyones heads. I knew we’d screw it up once UTd and RS went out because everyt time I’ve ever seen us do well in the cup we’ve always played one of those two somewhere along the way.

Jamie Barlow
73 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:56

Yes!!!! My feeds gone down. I don’t have to watch that shite anymore.

Simon Smith
74 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:55

dont think they are playing well just that we are playing like prats!

Chris Jones
75 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:43:35

We’re attacking like a one-armed southpaw at the moment. Get Donovan off and Coleman on and then we might do something down the right.

We have a mountain to climb but it ain’t over just yet.

Jamie Crowley
76 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:42:07

fucking BAINES! pull him!

Kunal Desai
77 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:44:36

This is the inconsistency with Everton one week brilliant the next week total fucking shite. It’s so infuriating.

Kieran Kinsella
78 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:44:03

Brian Waring

Barry Ferguson is rubbish. Rubbish for Scotland, rubbish for Blackburn. Don’t confuse our ineptitude for someones elses talent.

Gerry Quinn
79 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:41:42

Baines - that was pathetic

James Greem
80 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:45:03

FUCK ME BAINES!!

Chris Jones
81 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:45:39

That was better.

Wilson Tan
82 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:43:03

Baines is shocking. We really need a back up left back that can give him a kick in the ass.

Chris Jones
83 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:45:39

That was better.

John Audsley
84 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:44:47

bainsey, get yer coat u daft twat

Brian Waring
85 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:46:03

Hang on Kieran, he may be shite, but at the end of the day he is running the midfield, it says how good our midfield is then if he is bossing it.

Jamie Barlow
86 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:46:20

Baines knows he’ll get picked week in week out. There is no-one to replace him. He’s done it all season. Fuckin useless.

Simon Smith
87 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:46:19

how do they expect to score if we dont bloody SHOOT!!!!!

Jamie Crowley
88 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:45:45

Such fucking crap. Like watching "Rangers South". Counter-attack, knick a goal, and park the bus. Boring as shit. I hate Ferguson and McLeish - King and Prince of stupid, no brain, ugly shit football.

Rant over, we’re awful thusfar

Raymond Choi
89 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:27

absolute garbage. where’s has last week’s team gone ?

Andrew Oxton
90 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:46:42

I should be on this pitch, I cant cross very well and i’d do it for £500 a week

Jamie Barlow
91 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:49

Garbage.

Mark Dullahan
92 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:46

Turn the corner? id be happy with 1 the way this has gone.

Will Leaf
93 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:48

That was a very painful half to watch...Baines...what can you say? Agreed needs competition at that left back position...and no more freekicks, please

Ged Simpson
94 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:44:54

Early second half goal hopefully to make this worth watching.

Arteta on ? I guess none of us know how long he has been fit.

Coleman on...definitely

John Audsley
95 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:47:36

From the best half last week to the worst in a long time

Sadly that EFC under Moyes

Great, then crap

Lets hope he sorts this shite out at half time

Jo Ariff
96 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:49:36

get arteta in for billy and send pienaar to the left to work his magic..... 45 mins to score at least 2 goals...its not impossible!!!!
COYB!!!!

Kunal Desai
97 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:46

Substitute any of Donovan, Cahill, Bily and Baines. All have been awful in that first half.

Stewart Littler
98 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:50:03

Brian, if u think Ferguson has bossed the midfield, ur watchin a different game. Both goals down the right, both sides poor, Brum slightly better

Kieran Kinsella
99 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:29

To be honest I think we should sell Pienaar now. He is a bit of a Jamie Redknapp. Injured a lot, small and gets lot of attention for all the long range shots that ALMOST go in but invariably hit the cross bar of skim past the post. Remember Juninho at Boro ? Skilled but completely ineffective. As for Donovan I told you all that he was crap before he came. Fellaini today seems to believe his own hype and is trying to do his best to replicate Ossie Ardilles in "Escape to Victory" but having more of a Carlton Palmer performance. Neville and Baines are making Hibbert look like good crossers. Saha and Bily don’t seem to be aware that the game is going on around them.

Christopher Brierley
100 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:12

Im sure i saw Moyes bollock the fuck out of Baines whilst he was taking a throw in next to him and once he took the throw in he just walked off (my lip reading skills arent all that good) but he was turning the air blue swearing as he walked away

Brian Waring
101 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:49:59

" Nick a goal, and park the bus.Boring as shit " Jamie, remind you of anyone?

Ged Simpson
102 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:51:47

With you Jo...2 in a half. Can be done.

Simon Smith
103 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:48:58

Off to find a stiff drink and a rocket or 10 to shove up someones arse as they need it!!!!

Chris Lawlor
104 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:50:24

This is back to pre Arsenal levels. Baines is having a shocker, no one except Piennar willing to have shot from anywhere.

In my eyes its got to be a move to 4-4-2 with Cahill off for Vaughan and Mikel on for that Russian waster.

Moyes will bollock them and the first 10 mins will tell all.

Im still expecting a home win today.

Jamie Crowley
105 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:52:11

LOL Brian - but for Chrissakes the last 2 weeks we were playing like Barcelona!

Hope builds, then we lay an egg and revert to absolute crap form. This is really infuriating.

Matteo Rosingana
106 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:50:11

I think this has been mentioned already, but we’re being out-Everton’d. Packing the midfield, closing men down quickly even in areas high up the field - sound familiar? We need someone to stretch the shape of this game, and a bit of pace and invention. All too square and predictable so far. Possession-wise we’re superior, but we can’t stay patient for too long. Who would you bring on as a wild-card?

Mark Bruce
107 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:51:19

That was pretty depressing stuff. I think Coleman to come on and drive down the right side. We’ve got so much space out there but Neville’s crossing has been poor today.

Wilson Tan
108 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:52:22

If Coleman on for Baines, takes the right with Neville shifted to the left. I’ll be a happy man. Baines is shocking this game. Did fuck all.

Anthony O'Sullivan
109 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:52:58

Utter garbage in the first half.

How many crosses did neville hit straight at the first brum player ? Even when he got a second chance he picks out another brum player.

Long balls up to a lone striker. Its the same problem that has dogged us for years.

Brian Waring
110 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:52:16

Stewart, listening to the game on the OS, and he has been involved in most things, even the commentator and Ronnie Goodlass have said along the same lines.

Matteo Rosingana
111 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:55:15

Could be worth a try Wilson, Coleman likes to go at people and I like to see that.

Jamie Crowley
112 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:54:55

Wilson - agree 100%. Move Phil to the left and bring on Seamus. Baines has been horrific.
Moyes has got to do this.

Mark Bruce
113 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:54:14

Kieran Kinsella, i think you’ve been watching some different matches to me re Pienarr. We looked hopeless without him earlier in the season.

John Gilfoyle
114 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:54:27

I think Fellaini has done his job well his distribution was tidy however why is Neville are main outlet he is having all the ball in great positions and floating balls to the first man get coleman on, neville shits his pants in the final third!!!!

Ste Blundell
115 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:57:28

Anyone got any links that don’t work ’cos I’m fucked if I’m watchin’ that shite.

Guy Hastings
116 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:55:21

If that 45 minutes doesn’t bring Tony Marsh out of retirement, nothing will. Nice to watch the TV French ads, though.

Wilson Tan
117 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:57:41

The first 10 mins will be key. I hope Moyes gives them a big kick up their bollocks. Can we use up all 6 subs and leave nash on the bench?

Brian Waring
118 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:55:45

I’ve praised Fellaini the last few weeks, and rightly so, but these are the games were he needs to earn his money. The defensive side of his game has been excellent of late, as shown against Arsenal and city, he was breaking up attack after attack in them 2 games, but he now needs to show the attacking side of his game, I reckon if he ups a couple of gears then we will have a chance, a few mths ago, I never thought I would be saying that about him.

Christopher Brierley
119 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:57:20

I cant see us getting 2 goals back. We just aren’t putting the ball into the right spaces. If we have a player in space the ball just gets lumped into a crowd of 4 birmingham players nowhere near one of ours. Anyways im off for a fag before a second half of awful drivel starts

Wilson Tan
120 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:02:23

Brian, I think Fellaini (as well as Pienaar) isn’t playing too badly today. Unfortunately, he has been let down badly by the other guys like Neville, Baines, Cahill and Billy.

Kieran Kinsella
121 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:00:38

I just think we it’s funny that one week we are freaking out that Chelski or Man Utd are going to steal one of our stars lik Rodwell or Fell for $20m and the next week we see that the whole team looks like crap. It has always been the way. I remember people on Toffeeweb freaking out when Cadamarteri was being linked with Inter Milan 5 games in to his Everton career. New idea. Every time one of our players has a good game immediately sell them for a tonne of cash and evevntually we can clear our debt, buy a new stadium and get rid of BK and Moyes who like Curbishley seems to be a nearly man not a trophy winner.

Andrew Oxton
122 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:03:12

Not sure we can get 3 kicking towards the Park end. Will settle for 2 COYB

Steven Sturm
123 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:04:15

Osman coming in for.....

Matteo Rosingana
124 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:03:28

Looks like Ossie’s on for the deuxieme demi.

Mark Fitzgerald
125 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:50:04

Well that was a piss poor first half performance. Credit to Birmingham for preventing us from settling, but our downfall is all of our own making. Why, oh why do we always revert to hoofball? Once again we are struggling out wide. Decent crosses are non-existent. Bily, Baines, Neville, etc, why can none of them put some quality in to the box. Tempting to throw Arteta in here but surely its too early for him. Maybe a late cameo introduction. All that said, I still think there is something in this for us. Moyes needs to change the tactics and the players need to up their performance. An early goal in the 2nd half will change everything!

Mark Bruce
126 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:02:45

Osman coming on.

Jamie Crowley
127 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:02:40

why is Baines still out there? Jeezuz.

Ged Simpson
128 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:03:56

2nd half or siesta ?

Still deciding.

Jamie Barlow
129 Posted 23/01/2010 at 15:59:35

Me too John. I think Fellaini has done alright. Not his fault they’re a load of idiots who he has to play with. Totally clueless. If Donovan doesn’t want to play, he should tell Moyes at half time. Not fuckin hide on the pitch, and Baines. Useless all season.

Chris Lawlor
130 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:03:54

Great Moyes, just great. Fucking Osman is the answer is he? ffs

Brian Waring
131 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:06:49

We’ll get back into it Ged, don’t worry.

Kieran Kinsella
132 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:30

Nice job Osman you’ve shown us what you’re truly capable of.

Kieran Kinsella
133 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:08:20

2 crap touches out of 2 Os and to think I was almost thinking it might be an idea to bring you on.

John Audsley
134 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:05

commentator - Osman has the pace that Everton fans are looking for..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuckin hell

Also the co-commentator is ex Spurs shite Gary Stevens - a total fucking tool

Wilson Tan
135 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:53

At least a much better start.

Guy Hastings
136 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:22

should have been 3

Brian Waring
137 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:41

Jamie agree, Fellaini sounds like he has done ok, and he has had players having bad performances all around him,but as we have been told by plenty on here the last few mths, that he is world class, these are the games were he needs to really raise his game and take the it by the scruff of the neck.

Jo Ariff
138 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:10:21

B’ham keeper has no saves to make and its 50 mins gone...

Ged Simpson
139 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:41

Watching BFC really is like watching us in many games.

They are frustrating us in every area and we don’t have a player today to do something to surpise them.

Time passing.

Concentrate on league ?

Jamie Crowley
140 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:11:09

YESSS!!!

Matteo Rosingana
141 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:15:02

We could really do with a lucky penalty to get us going and back into this.

Simon Smith
142 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:14:34

it starting to look a bit better or am i just tempting fate putting this up???

Chris Jones
143 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:13:07

Ossie!

Jamie Crowley
144 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:16:02

Baines and Osman.... shows why i don’t manage and frankly don’t know shit at the end of the day.
Cmon Boys!

Kieran Kinsella
145 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:09:06

You’ve won nothing yet.

Jamie Barlow
146 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:12:09

Get that fuckin idiot off the pitch. What can Ossie do.

Christopher Brierley
147 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:05:12

Thank god for osman

Mark Fitzgerald
148 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:10:38

Once again Ossie confounds his critics! That’s the early goal we needed. Now we can go on and win this!!

Roy Mcleod
149 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:13:01

Yes Osman is the answer Chris L

Keep the negativity coming

Chris Lawlor
150 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:07:36

OSMAN IS THE ANSWER, WELL DONE MOYESY!

John Audsley
151 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:16:09

Time to raise the roof boys and girls

Simon Smith
152 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:16:21

GET THE FUCK IN!!!!!!

Steven Sturm
153 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:16:45

Osman!

Will Leaf
154 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:13:48

Oh yes Ossie game on

Matteo Rosingana
155 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:16:08

Or maybe a quality finish from Lyons Osman!

Wilson Tan
156 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:13:18

Baines!!! Osman!!!! Moyes you genius (why can’t they start like?)

Ged Simpson
157 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:16:59

I’ll get my coat

Tom Winek
158 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:18:12

Running round like a team possessed. Great goal

Simon Smith

Jamie Barlow
160 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:18:42

I’d love to knock Fergusons head off. Fuckin gobshite!!!!

Andrew Oxton
161 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:20:12

COYB

Chris Jones
162 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:17:04

Ooooooooooooooooh! Close Saha.

We’ll win this!

Matteo Rosingana
163 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:21:04

I second that Jamie.

Unlucky Louis!

Stewart Littler
164 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:21:25

Louis should have scored

Wilson Tan
165 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:21:02

Saha what a miss! We are gonna win 3-2. COYB!

Paul O'Grady
166 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:21:24

Any quality streams at the moment?

Simon Smith
167 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:20:55

has stevens the ex spur still got that mullet from when he was playing??? twat then twat now, not much changes over the years!

Jamie Crowley
168 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:20:51

AHHHH.... Saha has to bury that

Chris Jones
169 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:23:58

Ooooo la la!

Kieran Kinsella
170 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:19:36

So near and yet saha

Chris Jones
171 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:24:58

Penalty shout and post!

Matteo Rosingana
172 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:24:57

the French one is working

Brian Waring
174 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:23:02

We just need to keep playing the way we are and the goals will come. The only worry I have is that the longer the game goes on, that we don’t start to panic and start hoofing it up again, that would only play back into Brum’s hands.

Simon Smith
175 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:23:49

Christ whats saha got to do to score today? Must be bad karma for lumping that fan last week for trying to nick his hat

Chris Jones
176 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:24:58

Penalty shout and post!

Chris Jones
177 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:26:34

It’s coming!

Wilson Tan
178 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:24:50

3 chances to Saha now. I bet he’s gonan bury the next one.

Jamie Crowley
179 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:26:34

That wasn’t a penalty...

Kieran Kinsella
180 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:27:00

What is Birminghams 3rd ? anyone good odds on fad ?

Paul O'Grady
181 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:26:28

Thanks Kieran

Stuart Mitchell
182 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:25:42

I think we need to get Coleman on, very little coming from our right hand side, would say get Arteta on to, but who knows how fit he is.

Mark Dullahan
183 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:25:15

I want brum to lose more than i want us to win. Someone needs to to put these jumped up midland monkeys in their place.

Sad but true.

Fellainis back to hospital passing

Tom Winek
187 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:25:23

Donovan’s having no impact. Arteta maybe? Or Coleman.

Chris Jones
188 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:27:07

Saha won’t score today!

Wilson Tan
189 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:28:58

Saha’s off. Vaughan on.

Kieran Kinsella
190 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:29:44

Nice of Saha to stick around on the sideline and cheer on his team mates.

John Audsley
191 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:31:18

Saha’s left the ground already!!

Chris Jones
192 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:30:00

Why didn’t Donovan want to shoot?!

Chris Jones
193 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:32:12

Fellaini’s earning his corn today.

John Audsley
194 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:31:57

NO FUCKIN CALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wilson Tan
195 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:30:05

We ain’t got our shooting boots on today.

Simon Smith
196 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:31:05

think its going to be one of those days

Jamie Barlow
197 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:31:25

He might need a shit Kieran.

Gerry Quinn
198 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:33:33

Is that Mrs Senderos?

Jamie Crowley
199 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:29:02

Arteta’s back!
Praise God!

Chris Jones
200 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:34:32

Mikey!

Wilson Tan
201 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:34:15

Arteta! May be the wild card we need.

Jamie Barlow
202 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:35:42

Follow follow follow!!!

Jo Ariff
203 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:35:25

welcome back mikel...

Mark Fitzgerald
204 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:35:29

The sight of Senderos’ babe only outshone by the sight of Arteta back on the pitch!

Simon Smith
205 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:36:00

yes it was him in the hat

Ray Said
206 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:35:01

Birmingham are tiring and we can have this in the last 10 minutes if we just get a few attacks down our right side where there is oceans of space, Get Coleman on!

Steven Twine
207 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:33:53

Fed up with kierans snide comments talk football.Arteta is back and coming on yes WAT A PLAYER

Chris Jones
208 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:36:01

Now at last we have 11 men on the pitch.

Kieran Kinsella
209 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:34:46

The last hope

Will Leaf
210 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:36:05

Come on, Mikel

Simon Smith
211 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:36:45

What price an Arteta goal in next 5 mins?

Guy McEvoy
212 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:36:31

Come on Mikel! We can do this. Keep the momentum of the half going, don’t panic and change style, keep pushing... COYB

Wilson Tan
213 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:37:02

Ray: I think we have made our third sub.

John Audsley
214 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:36:16

Mrs Sendo was v nice

Ray Said
215 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:37:54

Wilson
We need at least 12 players out there mate!

Stuart Mitchell
216 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:33:55

Welcome back Mikel Arteta

Chris Jones
217 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:37:19

Hard luck lad.

Gerry Quinn
218 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:38:41

Great cross Mikel - great shot vaughny

Gerry Quinn
219 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:39:38

Well... not a great cross really

Gerry Quinn
220 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:40:03

cahill, that foul was ridiculous and now puts us in trouble

Wilson Tan
221 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:40:56

If only we could just get our shots on target, we would have been 5-2 up.

Ged Simpson
222 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:33:45

When the big affro can pass well he’s be brilliant. In time it will come.

As for this game......just not our game I reckon

Chris Jones
223 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:39:45

FFS Everton. Wise up!

James Greem
224 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:43:36

Whats with the succession of shit challenges? Letting them waste time!

Richard Murray
225 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:43:40

If we were able to convert chances, despite our other failings, we’d be about four places higher in the league.

Kieran Kinsella
226 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:43:24

In fairness we are up against one of the big 8

John Audsley
227 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:43:42

Hmmm

Looks like its the league and the Europa to concentrate on then - playing shite again

Kieran Kinsella
228 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:45:04

Nice effort Fellaini at least you are giving it a good go. watch and learn everyone else

Simon Smith
229 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:44:22

JUST NOT OUR DAY!

Jamie Barlow
230 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:45:13

Should have buried that Felli!

Mark Dullahan
231 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:46:32

Maybe we should replace Z cars with Paula Abdul 2 steps forward,1 step back?!

Stuart Mitchell
232 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:44:11

Should have been 2-2, good play Felliani but just shot to close to the keeper

Chris Jones
233 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:47:32

Cahill ran across the front of him as he was picking his spot.

Jamie Barlow
234 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:47:50

Simon, you get what you deserve in this game. When you play like we did in the first half, we don’t deserve fuck all.

Simon Smith
235 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:48:20

I can't watch...

Chris Jones
236 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:48:43

Did someone run over a black cat this week?

Kieran Kinsella
237 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:48:31

We’re not mvoing forward. We have the occasional good performance littered with too many bad ones to ever challenge for trophies. 7 or 8 years is long enough.

Gerry Quinn
238 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:50:22

Hopefully we’ll run over the Black Cat next week!

Chris Jones
239 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:50:56

4 minutes

Simon Smith
240 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:49:54

Please... if there is a god...

Lee Kidd
241 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:51:49

AHHH FECK OFF... great effort from Fellaini. Should have had five or six here.

And fuck off Neville, fuck him right off.

Mark Dullahan
242 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:50:14

Rich Murray, I did. Don't know what's happened there. Anyway I quite fancy a deflected equalizer of that twat Ferguson.

Chris Jones
243 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:51:33

My word!

Wilson Tan
244 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:46:24

Just not our day!

Jamie Barlow
245 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:49:50

So unlucky Felli. Great game for the big man again. Shame about the other 10.

Kieran Kinsella
246 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:52:53

Good job Fell you’re the only one who deserves your pay check today.

Gerry Quinn
247 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:53:40

Come on Everton - twat this free kick on target

Simon Smith
248 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:53:10

Ok... so it is a trip to Hamburg not Wembley.

Wilson Tan
249 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:53:12

I think we need a penalty or an extremely lucky decision.

Chris Jones
250 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:52:59

A fairy tale ending?

Jamie Crowley
251 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:31

Poop

Kieran Kinsella
252 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:05

Not our day ? Not our decade. Moyes out.

Chris Jones
253 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:26

Nope!

Roy Mcleod
254 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:07

Desperately disappointing... I thought we were hitting form just at the right time to mount a real challenge for the cup... Bollox!

Simon Smith
255 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:14

Fuck it... fuck it... FUCK IT!!!!!

John Audsley
256 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:03

First half cost us... but at least Arteta got 15 mins as I predicted!!!!

Wilson Tan
257 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:54:23

A rubbish first half. A better second half. I hope these guys can wake up and play it from the 1st minute now.

Mark Dullahan
258 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:55:34

I BLAME HIBBERT, if he was’nt injured Neville wouldn’t have wasted so many balls.

Stewart Littler
259 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:55:41

Poor first half cost us. Don’t kid yourselves that Brum were good - we were absolute shite in the first half, much better in 2nd but not enough. Have to say, thought the substitutions were poor today, can only think that Saha was injured to bring him off when he did

Jo Ariff
260 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:56:01

Arteta is rusty. Seemed afraid to be involved in challenges.

Nick Dommett
261 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:56:41

Bit rubbish that.

Hate to say it but really didn’t need Arteta coming on then. Would rather have had Coleman on to add some pace to the attack.

Guess the free weekends will help the Europa League push...

Wilson Tan
262 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:58:48

Stewart: Given that Saha didn’t hang around and went straight into the dressing room, I would assume he’s either injured or on the way out.

Guy McEvoy
263 Posted 23/01/2010 at 16:57:10

You wouldn’t lose 80% of the games with the pressure we had in the second half. Today the percentages were against us. As other have said, lost the game in first half - much encouragement from the second half to carry on with next time - great to see Mikel back - and I can now reclaim a whole pile of Saturdays from my Calendar to do something less upsetting with. Onwards and upwards.

Trevor Williams
264 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:00:46

Arteta is rusty ???

Wow you should be a manager

Richard Murray
265 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:00:09

Stewart, substitutions? Osman got a goal after five minutes of coming on?

Stewart Littler
266 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:01:54

Yeah Rich, he made 3. Osman was the right one at half time, but unless Saha injured, should have been Vaughan for Cahill. And as others have alluded to, don’t think it was the right game for Arteta - especially against dirty bastards like Brum - how did they get away without a booking?

Wilson Tan
267 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:03:45

The first two substitutions were needed (assuming Saha was injured). Arteta shouldn’t really be on. I would have prefer Coleman with a little bit of pace down the right.

David Hallwood
268 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:14:26

But once again it shows that we can’t get 3 full games on the trot out of Saha... £60k & a 2-year contract? I don’t think so.

Ste Blundell
269 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:16:06

Saha out Huntelaar in. Anyone?

Kunal Desai
270 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:20:59

It’s all good and well beating Man City and running Arsenal close but I think today proves why we are still a couple of quality players short in various positions and strength is depth is certainly required.

Steven Twine
271 Posted 23/01/2010 at 17:20:21

KING LOUIE have people forgot what he has done for the club UNBELIVEABLE. How good do we look when he plays. Would some people want Saha out and someone like Beckford upfront?? Let's have a vote and see what everyone thinks.

As for someone like Huntelaar... good in Holland, shite in Spain... and not doing fuck all in Italy and on £80k plus a week — sounds a gooood deal to me! When some people post logs do they realise we are not Chelski how the fuck are we going to pay wages like that?
