Oh boy... I'm looking forward to this game. 3 w's in a row, the last one VERY decisive... here's hoping it carries through for many more games! Line up predictions?
Howard Hibbert-Jags-Distin-Baines Coleman-Gibson-Fellaini-Pienaar Naismith-Jelavic Neville is hurt right?
per Steve Round today, all players are healthy. Hibbo gets way too much flak IMO. he's a quiet, solid right back and has done quite the job for us. I could see this "safe" team: Howard hibbo, jags, distin, baines ossie gibbo nev felli peanut jela but I'd like to see: Howard hibbo, jags, distin, baines Mirallas gibbo felli peanut jela naismith (switching sides as they feel like it) hmmm... well let's see what the morning brings! OT rant: the countdown clock on the official site, it says the right KO time, but it counts down to that time in my locality. so it's saying 21.5 hours now, which would take me to 3pm tomorrow afternoon my time, when KO if 3pm england local time... sheeshhhhh.... how can they do that to me? make me do some subtraction to find the right time to wake up in the morning? (7am) Seriously annoying.
nope, the countdown is def 8 hours difference (late/extra) I suppose I should update this profile to CA now less than 6 hours... I better head to bed for a bit. COYB!
I know, but couldn't resist....club's site is now telling me 7 hrs 51 mins to kickoff, and I'm in the mts of Colorado for the weekend....so, it's actually just 51 mins....
lol. It must go off of the computer clock setting, which would be great, IF it changed the kickoff to local time too Game has started... apparently if we win it's our best start in 19 years... :S
The announcer is singing Jela's praises, saying from the moment he showed up our fortunes have turned around and how true is that! although Peanut also came back at the same time, so I'm giving him credit too We are playing fast passing feet-to-feet ball here... It's quite something!
uh oh, peanut was down for about 2 mins with an ankle injury... He's walking on his own at the moment... maybe milking it a tiny bit, but not sure what to think. SP isn't normally that much of an actor so to speak... I think he's back on now, the commentators haven't said anything... hmmm 13th min. COYB
crap, gibbo off for hibbo, looks like an upper thigh/groin injury, not from a challenge, he was just kicking the ball a way up the side line.... that's not good. Nev up in mid, hibbo at RB
WBA had a free header and we were REALLLLLLY lucky that he hit the crossbar... terrible breakdown in defense... not sure what happened there... Distin lost him or something... Anyway, thankfully still 0-0. COYB
A few FB friends have pointed out that Gibbo is our good luck charm. We haven't lost when he is playing for us... Let's see if him going off so early in the game changes that. COYB
hibbo with a yellow... I kinda think he knew what he was doing there... he and nev were way forward and the wba player was about to race past him... def stopped a breakaway. less than 10 mins to go in the first. coyb
Jela with a very weak (slow) header on target from 15yds out, goalie had more than enough time to get over and save it.
holy crap, thank you Howard!!!!!! WBA goes in overdrive towards goal, 3 on 2 as we were caught out and Timmy comes up with a great save! w00t! He then smothered the follow up as well. 3mins OT. COYB.
shit!!! great little play, baines into jela who laid it back for peanut, but offside flag goes up probably our best chance after jela's header. almost HT. coyb
oh great... we start the 2nd with only 10 men... Felli had white tape, not blue on his socks or something... soooooo lame a reason to send a player back to the dressing room to change... ugh...so ridiculous. well he's back now... like the ref couldn't wait 1 min for that to happen. grrr. anyway. WBA player carded for a tackle on Naisy. he's been hitting naisy all day.
well we are just falling apart. the ref has been shite this half. absolutely crap. oh there we go. 2-0 suuuuuucks.
Horrific performance. I've never seen Baines give away the ball as much as he did today. Bubble burst from the opening few games.
I think we went in too cocky, WBA isn't Leyton Orient... Oh well. let's see how they do in the next game before seeing if it was just a slip up COYB
