2-1 to us would be great, but 1-1 is the best I can see.

Probably a 1-0 defeat though, Shay Given sent off for a professional foul and they score the resulting penalty.

Yep the ref's Andy D'Urso, possibly the worst after Barber (who strutted his inept stuff in fine style at Smogland yesterday). I reckon there will be sendings-off aplenty today. The sort of crucial red cards that really fekk up the season, even at this stage. Type of decisions that leave up with no strike force whatsoever, for three weeks - like Bellamy (dissent) and Robert (handling in the area, in the absence of Solano) both walking.

On which ironic note: I'm glad Speed's red card at the Villa match in May was over-ruled. Was worried we'd miss him for the beginning of this season. Phew.

Derek you didnt have to tell me the score! Though I look forward to watching the full game (obviously recorded) in an hour and a half. I'm 11hours in front so why hadnt I heard the score?

Good to see Warren scoring though

Last night I dreamt we lost 6-0. I've put a quid on it.

I dreamt a 1-1 draw, but being realistic I think I'll put my quid on your dream.

Shola and Speed both playing. Discount the sarcy Speed part of my post above.

Addendum:

Speed isn't playing. Re-instate the sarcy Speed stuff

Alan, you obviously haven't got match-fixing Asian bookies in NZ!?
