Happy birthday AVB

How's Davilla getting on down there?

Remember Liverpool at The Bridge last season. Ramires didn't make the 18 and they still to this day aint told us why

Give it 2 maybe 3 years and he eclipse Vieira.

He should come back next season (with Hilario surely leaving) and push Cech hard for the first team spot. AVB should use those 2 the way Fergie uses De Gea and Lindegard.

City are paying him like 185k a week, we should have snapped him (Silva) up in 2008 when he was getting linked with us that January.

We have goals from all over the pitch, that's why we still had good results in March and April despite Drog, Anelka and Torres scoring 3 times between them.

Rest/bench Terry, Bosingwa, Mikel, Lampard, Ramires (due to the injury he picked up) and Drogba for this and unleash them on QPR'se on sunday. ---------------------Cech------------------- Ivanovic-----Alex-------Luiz-------Cole -------------------Romeu------------------- ----Meireles------------Malouda-------- Sturridge-----------------------------Mata --------------------Torres-------------------- SUBS: Hilario, Bosingwa, Terry, McEachran, Mikel, Anelka, Kalou.

Apparently Genk have a massive defensive injury crisis, only one defender is fit and avalible and he is still awaiting his debut.

Good report Not tommy10 standard yet tho

Everyone did well but Mata was just ridicolously good, is there anything he cannot do?

^ Josh's time will come mate don't worry about that

TBH the clean sheets or lack off don't worry me for 2 reason's. 1. We are scoring enough goals to counter them. 2. We have always had runs like this every season where we don't keep clean sheets, even under Jose we use to have a run of about 1-2 months off very few if any clean sheets.

How Sturridge gets overlooked for England is beyond me, the only thing i can think of is Cappello must have a problem with him or Chelsea, i mean he picks Cleverly, Welbeck and Wilshere on the back off good loan spells but can't do the same for Sturridge, and as for Carroll and Zamora getting picked over him, best not go there. Thrilled but not suprised at his rich vein of form this season.

Slowly but surely we are catching up with the Manc clubs on goal difference. In August no body was giving us a hope in hell of catching either two but everyone just seemed to assume they would play like that all season and as past season's show (Chelsea last season and Arsenal 04/05 prime examples) that starting like a house on fire can often do more harm than good. You start the season thinking you're invincible then a couple of setbacks you come crashing down to earth with a massive bump. Since the United game we have been slowly but surely going about our buisness of catching those two with points and goal difference. With the Manchester derby coming up and it without doubt going to be a tight encounter with one goal in it probally. QPRse represents as good a chance as any to boost our GD, lets hope we can take advantage of the top 2 going head to head and there is the small matter of shutting those fuckers up at the same time. The difference AVB has made is their for all to see, last season we would have drew or lost yesterday. We are starting to pass the ball quicker and look unpredictable in our play, the stuff of dreams compared to what we were served up last term from October onwards. January would be vital, if we can get a couple of players in (Modric type player and a pure winger) if we are going to seriously go for this title we would probally be approaching our peak about that time and two big signing's will make the country sit up and take notice. Our big advantage over City is our manager's, Mancini will cost City points a lot more than AVB will cost us. I don't want to speak too soon but the way we are slowly picking up steam holds reminense to a certain 04/05 season. KTBFFH

Just imagine if we lost him to the goonies or the scousers

Congrats. With any luck ill be joining the party the season after next

Im happy that we are slowly building up steam instead of peaking too soon. Any negative that could be thought of today should be forgotten about, we beat our bogey team with reletive ease, we didnt creat at a fast rate like we did at Bolton but we did enough and Everton created fuck all, it was as routine a win as we are ever likely to get. Now when are we getting Tommy's match report?

Is Alex's ban over? i hope we don't get points deducted for selecting a suspended player.

nnooooooooooooooo I would be gutted, although Zola returning instead would sofen the blow.

Just been thinking Hernandez is basically like Kalou. Miss controls the ball a lot, spends lots of the game annonomous and likes scoring tap ins. Yet i bet Hernandez don't get 1% of the shite on redcafe.

Blackburn are really bad tbh, would not suprise me if that Arsenal win is their only one of the season. Back to the topic would love for AVB to give RDM a few post match interviews every now and then.

Im sorry mate but i have to disagree here, i think he left because off demanding wages on par with the highest earner's which after the 2 season's he had previous was just well there is no words for it.

I say risk it and rest Luiz during the Genk match, if we don't want to play into Everton's hands Luiz,Mata, Danny and co are a must IMO.
