Just got back from the match, [Poor language removed] brilliant. Bainsy was by far our best player tonight, the back 4 were brilliant even though we conceded. I'm knew my faith in Bainsy tho would pay off, different class as you've all said.

you are my man of the match kidda.

[Poor language removed] boss.

Theres only one Gary Naismith!

He looked like Gollum when celebrating at the end.
The block on Hyppia has gone a long way, in my book, to convincing me that he can do defending. Still not sure about him one on one against a classy winger but he does lots of other things better than the majority of fullbacks in the league.

If he were a fabric he would be silk.

But he's not so I'll shut the [Poor language removed] up and stop being a melt then.

i thought hibbert was pretty bad, average at best? what do u all think of yobo going to right back? i cant remember how well he crosses or how well he does bombing forward

sarath · January 20, 2009

at least this way we'll retain baines at LB and lescott at CB, then everyone's happy except for hibbert

My MOTM. Had a great game at left back. Tackled well and got forward whenever he could.

I thought played well, he got in some lovely tackles and he handled Reira pretty well all game, some his crossing was half decent as well.

Bruce Wayne · January 20, 2009

He was outstanding. Great to see.

His distribution has improved but we really need someone who never puts in crosses that look like they've been batted up by a blind man wielding a banjo rather than someone who doesn't do it all the time any more.

The Mirror are reporting that the Lepracaun Martin O'Neil maybe interested in swaping his flop Nicky Shorey for Leighton Baines....

After last nights performance O'Neil can clearly GET. TO. FUCKLAND.
