[Extended-Phenotype]

Time not moving. Need distraction.

oxf*rd it, I'm taking my trousers off and running around the office.

Pissing.

5 poo's already today

[Tommy Youlden's Ears]

Who's read "Fever Pitch" by Nick Hornby? I remember him describing a banner seen at Highbury during the George Graham 1-nil years.

"George Knows"

And how to him, the young Hornby, it made absolute sense. The selections, the tactics, the transfers, the substitutions.

Not often that a manager reaches that position where you just trust.

To me, Brian is there now. Whatever happens tonight, we can trust. Brian will get us over the line.

More, dare I risk saying it, than we did even in Sir Steve (remember the substitutions?).

Brian knows.

Just curious mate, have you ever predicted us to win?

[ZacNaloen]

Watching football league show, leigertwood is at the ground wearing a training kit... On the pitch with the rest of the squad

[Royal Lady]

Schards just text to say word is it's the same team as Tuesday

[Sydneyroyal]

In Australia, 3.30 am. Woken up four times already during the night. Last time I couldn't sleep I missed the first half of the game, got updates on the second from BBC sport and only remembered to turn on the Telly for the last two minutes. Should I tempt fate and try and sleep for an hour or should I get up now?

[AbovetheI]

Well i'm too nervous to even watch, and I daren't listen to Dellor. I'll be playing FIFA12 between 7 and 10 tonight

[strap]

If Ipswich and Pompey can get draws I see no reason why we can't either.

I'm going for a 1-3

Hunt 2
Harte 1

So a 3-1 away win is the new draw?????? Well it doubtless would be if Sham had anything to do with it

[UpNorth]

Good to see Tabby back in to midfield

[Royal Lady]

What's the team???

[UpNorth]

One change Tabb for the polish lad

[Royal Lady]

Legs not on bench then?

[old woman]

Legs not on bench then?

not according to Fordham. McCarthy Church Alf Gunnerson Afobe

[RobRoyal]

Ok, a slightly improved team I suppose then, good to have Tabb back.

[Arch]

Can't see the point of having Church, ALF, and Afobe all on the bench, leaving Brynjar as cover for all the other positions bar GK.

[200 Miles]

can't see a sub goalkeeper listed for soton?

[RobRoyal]

Can't see the point of having Church, ALF, and Afobe all on the bench, leaving Brynjar as cover for all the other positions bar GK.

Yeah, I'd rather have Cywka in there instead of Church.

I suppose the thinking is that there's a lot of versatility in the starting 11. Mullins, Tabb and McAnuff could fill in at full-back, Hunt could go RM, etc.
