Can't see us winning that either... Going to be a very poor season I think. Don't think we'll be relegated, and I think we'll be in the top half, but still... It's going to be disappointing.

Butterflies having a rave party in my stomach! COYB's!!

Well one of our worst couple of weeks for a long time. Tonight we huffed and puffed but our passing in the final third was dreadfull, Cahill, Arteta and the yak are just not performing , were as last season when fit they were a big threat to anyone, at least we showed some backbone not like the spineless performances against Blackburn and TRS , David had all his players available tonight ,a big disappointment,

[Blue Meanie]

Yup... I think Moyes and the board need to stop messing about with the contract. Sign it, or do something. Hell, even Moyes says it is affecting the players. 2005 all over again.

[alfa phil]

He looked a very dissponded figure at the end there, deep in thought ,maybe hes thinking hes done what he can, but looking at the team on paper ,pleny of talent,I know it sounds daft but we are missing someone like carsley to do a lot of the donkey work , Osman was poor tonight , Carsley very rarely had a bad game.

[GBRM]

Very frustrating at the moment, we really need to get organised and get a bit of confidence.

Doesn't surprise me at all...

Other teams got stronger?

I think it is more than that. We aren't passing, we aren't defending, and although we finally have strikers that can score, the defense seems to be our major weakness...

Still, first point at home this season.

Is Tim Cahill going to get his place back tomorrow against Bolton ,[back after suspension] Fellaini is playing well , will Dave Moyes play them both, I think our first home win of the season is coming at the weekend against Fulham, ever the optimist

[Blue Meanie]

I think Felliani played 'OK' against Man Utd, but Tim is a great player... Give him his place back and see what happens.

[GBRM]

I think Cahill and Fellani are too similar to play together and from what I've seen this season Cahill has been pants!

[alfa phil]

so Cahill did not start , glad he kept faith in the tall lad , first clean sheet of the season , and a win, top six place is possible now we wont be playing many games.{ie out of 2 cups}

Was lucky to beat Bolton IMO, doubt you'll finish in the top six this season.

[alfa phil]

yes you make your own luck , i think its about time we had a bit , we havnt had much over the years how many penalties were we given last season , if we go out of the fa cup early we normaly do then we will be playing one game a week until the end of the season hence a top 6 place

[Blue Meanie]

Well that was a surprise.. 3 goals in 4 minutes, and a hell of a Saha strike. Looks like Moyes knew exactly what he was doing bringing Saha to GP. 3 goals in 2 games. Looks like he could be quite the steal.

[alfa phil]

Defence is begining to tighten up a bit and the goals are coming from all positions, another luck win
