We are not interested in that micky mouse cup anyway.

Was a feature on it on the local BBC news. Looks to be a good thing, all the kids get nominated by their own schools and all have issues with attendance/behaviour.

"The school of science"

In other news, Sheedy is on the mend. Good to hear.

Thought it would be one of those days when they scored so early. Turned it around nicely thus far. Just have to keep applying pressure.

[TheHeretic]

Passing really well.

Playing some great football now we've woken up! Mirallas looking good again

Yup. Along with Coleman I reckon we have the opportunity to have another great pairing. Jellyfish's goals were real sweet strikers goals. Someone mentioned on BBC how Leon Osman has never had an England call up. Still think he deserved a chance. Proper hardworking, tricksy, unpredictable player IMHO.

So did the Southampton goalie.

Anyway, Jelavic with 2. 10 goals in 13 games. Well worth 5 million quid, and Mirallas, and Coleman looking very good. I genuinely think we have a great team this year. We won't win the prem, but we do have, I think, a chance to sneak in the top 4 IF we can continue to play like we are, and clear up the few daft defensive errors that have gifted other teams goals this far, (HowRd, I'm looking at you and your silly star jump).

Great to see them come back with an excellent attitude after midweek blip.

Blip? It was an atrocious performance!

[TheHeretic]

Lovely from Mirallas there. Real threat from both sides now, rather than it just being the left.

[GTO-3R]

Ffs I've got Baines, Fellaini and Pieenar in my dream team and not one of them has bagged one yet!!!

[TheHeretic]

Come on Big Vic, get another goal, and boost that confidence.

[TheHeretic]

Apart from the first10-15minutes, we were solid, again, I thought. Restricted them to a few long range shots, and the occasional decent chance, but always with them under pressure.

Osman again an unsung hero. Superb again
Mirallas is proving to be an astute buy. Very good, again.
Coleman is playing on the right like Baines does on the left. Linking play with Mirallas was again excellent.
Felli doing his usual stuff. Doesn't look like he is doing anything, but commands his area.
Jelavic. I did wonder if he would continue his scoring form this season, after last, and he certainly looks to still have his same boots on.

Very happy. 2nd in the league, for a bit anyway. Who'd have thunked it.
