Good Afternoon from sunny Annapolis!

Anyone listening to the match on the web or radio and posting updates? I'm stuck behind a firewall and can't get out. :-(

Any team news? Haven't been able to read the BBS much the last few days and feel completely out of the loop.

Ouch! Don't leap up to run around with your trousers round your ankles. It leads to bruises.

That was some comment Ciara, you need to leave work more often.

10 minutes left, come on there's still time for a hat trick

Well if we can't break Barnsley down we'll certainly struggle against Bolton, not to mention practically every other team in the PL.

We had a very brief period of optimism early in the season but alas it has now all turned to cack.

Teams have us totally sussed. Starve the wingers of the ball, they get fed up and go to sleep, then they know we haven't got a creative player in the midfield so they just sit in there. Clueless.

Softie, you realize you're going to have to start wearing your trousers round your ankles at every match from this point forward.

You can just hear the Barnsley fans walking away from this can't you - "There's really not much of a gap between us and the top half of the PL"

Barnsley were utter shite from the sounds of it, we never really got out of first gear - but there was no need to.

A nice clean sheet though, Distin and Bernard's first starts and we keep a clean sheet. Nice to be able to feel my heart beating normally again after that tense finish.
