yeah i noticed the lucozade one as well, wierd

[Letters]

They must bloody love Lucozade.
Probably because it's isotonic. That means it's in balance with your body fluids
:johnbarnes:

Just noticed out far Chesney was off his line when the penalty was hit.
Amazing save though.

[Boss]

I felt a little silly after the save because I gave a lot of stick to Di Natale before the kick was taken. It’s something that shouldn’t be said on TV but it worked and he came to me after the game and and said ‘well done’ so I felt a little bit stupid because he’s quite a nice guy

Chesney

Chesney

An English speaking WUM maestro for a keeper

Theo and VP

Yeah, the guy always throws in a few gag stats, like there was 'number of elbows thrown by Steven Taylor' in the Newcastle stats, although that may well have been accurate.

Can't really add anything to what has already been said here tbh, phenomenal save from SZCZ and a good committed performance all round, seems like even though we're now lacking on the talent front (which had better be sorted by the end of the transfer window...) we seem to have more of that spirit/grit/Englishness that's been lacking, long may it continue.

Maybe they bath in it.

Just seen the highlights

Gervinho actually does something for once

Theo

Handanovic A must get

Sir Chesneys great penalty save

[hobson's choice]

Only saw the highlights just recently, but great result, really needed a win, but that defense needs to tighten up ASAP, anyways Chesney looks good, like what Gervinho is doing. Looks like we are gonna be rotating that midfield a lot. We really need to get a couple of players in virtually all areas.

Where are the 'Wenger Out' Tossers now?
