Slam Dunk

Barry's just outdone Hart there. Amazing.

Have to feel for Torres. Played well, denied by two fantastic saves.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Even Marin gets some minutes... Benitez is surprising me today.

Yay Benayounnnnnn... Haha.

Mata on. Cool.

Starting to let them back into it...

Starting to wonder if i've ever seen Oscar play Torres through...

Would prefer Mata on rather than Ba. Need to distribute the ball a bit better, the game is there for the taking for us.

Yeah that was a good finish by Maloney. The problem was that we were undone by such a simple ball over the top.

Hahaha. Bang on cue.

Nice goal. 2-0... Panic stations.

Can't really afford a slow start this half. Need to keep the tempo high.

Fuck me what a save.

Can't believe how high Wigan's defensive line is. You have to admire Martinez' philosophy.

That is a lovely break.

That shot of the home fans sitting there in silence was hilarious. Kind of sums up the season to be honest.

Think it's fair to say by now, the club doesn't rate Marin as a first-team player. Benitez obviously doesn't and RDM didn't either (although admittedly he was injured for a while). If you take him out of the picture, then it's only Benayoun left...

To be fair, Ba does have a broken nose, and Mata is ill with a virus and it's not like we have many other options. Need big performances from Hazard and Oscar today if we're to get something. I'm feeling optimistic.

Mata's ill with a virus by the way.

So we've gone from Bertrand on the wing to Ramires on the wing... I guess that's a step in the right direction, right?

Only just clocked these - Appreciate it guys, means a lot to me. My vote is the same as last month - The only place to be. Deserved it last month, probably even more so this month.

Love the fact that it says this all happened in front of Arbeloa's pregnant wife, as if that made any difference to the impact of what Messi said whatsoever.

Poor Odemwingie.
