From watching the highlights, a few things came to my attention. - Fyvie was unlucky with his effort, I'm sure he's put those kind of chances away often enough before. Hopefully he doesn't let it affect his confidence. - Miller, looked promising early on though his effort from the Paton cross should have done better. He did everything right, I still don't know how he missed. - Paton should be played through the middle and not on the wing. I don't think we're getting the best out of him there, and it would appear the commentator felt the same. - Ross looked promising and it was encouraging to see him take on the defender and knock a decent cross in the box. Shame no-one was on the end of it but encouraging nonetheless. How was his defending? Dundee united looked like the deserved the result and fair play to them, the weather cannot be used as an excuse for this defeat, as they coped and took their chances. We really need to address the midfield in Jan, can anyone shed any light on McDonald, did he actually play? We are far too lightweight in this department and I hope something will be done about it.

Is the Buenos Aires derby any good mini? Watched a bit of it but not a lot was happening.

I said to topcorner yesterday afternoon that I feared that this would be a bad weekend for football, and it was How Carragher managed to stay on the pitch was beyond me. Liverpool deservered it today, they wanted it more, but the didn't half help them along. What is the point in Nani I was really shocked he didn't bring Anderson on.

At least we're consistent at something

Wondered that very thing myself. But Nicholson did get some stick initially from some quarters because of his origin and his poor performances, but he soon won them over anyway.

I'm interested to see if McGhee bring Ross straight into the team (what with him being a natural right back) but either way, 3 points please! COME ON YOU REDS. Lets get intae these minky bastards! :ultras: :ultras: :ultras:

Something we've not had since Hart left us. I thougt he conducted himself very well in the interview and I was impressed with his attitude. I had my doubts over him signing for us, but he certainly says the right things, and hope that his performances back him up. I certainly hope he gets the full backing of the support.

Last chance salloon for Wright. Hopefully he finds some kind of form and adds something to the team. I don't think Dazza will ever look like a player redordead

I'll avoid the obvious one cos i'm sure its been done. Daft Punk - Human after All

Really could do with a win tomorrow just to maintain a close distance with HIVs. Hopefully the team can build on what were clear positives last weekend and get a couple of goals and 3 vital points.

Harsh on Fulham. How pants is Pantsil though? Nevland has to hang his head in shame though, an opportunity to take it forward and instead passes it back into his own half where all the Roma players were...shocking.

Nice save from Schwarzer! Good atmosphere. Not the best match on the eye but good fun, rock the underdog! Nevland unlucky not to score there.

Fulham 1-0 up against Roma. Fully deserved so far, sounds like a cracking atmosphere at The Cottage.

Flock me! 4-0?!? Watched the first 1/2 of the Lazio-Villareal game. Villareal were unlucky not to be in front. But I couldn't understand why the stadium was so empty?

Sharpie I think this is what you were chatting about the other night was it not? Anyway, enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpUfUYfio8o

Too late, you're already in it But yes, I agree with what you are saying. JC certainly seemed to play certain player irrespective of form. Young due to his "good to have around the place" attitude certainly would still be a starter. But it is all if's, but's and maybe's. JC did play Pawlett and Paton towards the end of the season, but whether or not that was due to having very little choice is open to debate.

Baggy, apparently Fyvie was set to leave as Jimmy didn't even realise that he was on our books and wasn't dealing with his contract renewal. WM, worried and annoyed, stepped in and it was one of the falling outs between the pair. As I said, this is all speculation.

The arse end of it though

Whilst its great we have a player who grabs headlines like this, I agree, we don't want to see many of them. He needs time to develop and hopefully he's got a sensible head on him to know he shouldn't pay attention to things like this.

1-0 real (Raul), what a cock up by the keeper!

United just went 1-0 up courtesy of Valencia. Good finish, but jesus does this guy ever smile or even celebrate his goals

Valencia was very unlucky not to score there, great one two with Nani GS, Traynor really said that? What a fuck wit. The huns should be getting ridiculed left right and centre, much like we did, because they are an embarrassment.

Aye his performances are generally pretty bad

CSKA - United, very open game, Nani just had a diving header saved from a keeper who looks like Gary Barlow.
