    Morning all. I would say "good" but I'm still hacked off about yesterday.

    Stadium and recent history come as a package if you ask me. I'd take ours over Bradford's any day.

    I'm also getting sick of the eulogies about Henry and Scholes. Is it really so romantic that a 34 year old striker earning £70k a week is capable of scoring a goal against a lower league side?

    Don't get me started on Scholes. He's even less likeable than Gary Neville, but just happens to be a far better footballer (join the club) and have the sense to keep his mouth shut. His competitors for a place in central midfield were an ex-winger even older than he is, a player who has been at Untied for seven years and is still routinely forgotten by everyone outside of Old Trafford, and a crap Brazilian full back. Despite being culpable for City's comeback last week, he plays against one of the worst Bolton sides that I can remember, with Nani, Valencia, Evra and Rooney all helping him out, and is suddenly a hero.

    Glad it all went well last H, shame it didn't for us on the pitch. As for our ground, it was soul less even when we had the East Stand it has no atmoshpere:( Our fans just don't sing enough or loud enough, every visiting team generally out sing us! I suppose it is different when your up the other end of the League and are thrashing everyone week in, week out or at least putting in a shift in on the pitch!

    We need some flair and creativity, someone to keep us on the edge of our seats or dare I say it on our feet! Then maybe, just maybe our fans will sing their hearts out for the lads!!!!!

    We all need to get behind SD and our team each and every week though;)

    Góðan daginn til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea donuts and fruit are on the bar.

    1C and sunny, except the sun does not come until later.

    I see someone fell out of bed on the wrong side. If TS were returning and he scored in his first game there would be no comments at all.

    You're right Al, that's exactly what we need. Though even with that, we're hard pushed to get chants going! It's a little better than it has been in, in the earlier part of the season it was very quiet, but on the telly yesterday i heard far more of Reading than Watford fans :(

    Right, time for work, see you all much later :(...have a great day!

    And I've just hauled myself out of bed as the temp has finally crept above the -7C it has been all morning. At -3C, it's just about warm enough to defrost the car and go shopping.

    Still annoyed about yesterday's match <grr>

    I blame H, as the minute she left, they scored! Should have stayed till the end H ;)

    I have worked out who H is. When not teaching the younger players to drive she is Scott Loach. How could a goalkeeper leave early!

    Just ventured on to the Wobby site to see if the standard of commenting has improved any - 'fraid not! :(

    Apparently, Hodson was to blame for the second goal because "he conceded a corner" :huh:

    No he was at fault for the first one the second one was a defensive lapse / mistake! They wanted it more!

    Is NNW being a bit gingerist? Risking a long suspension if you ask me <laugh>

    Talent wise, in his heyday Scholes was up there with the greatest players never to have won the World Cup. That doesn't make him a likeable person, nor does it mean that he is that good now.

    Didn't see it, but I'll bet the Swansea non-believers are starting to warm towards Danny :)

    I saw it Red and loved every minute of it!! Although the Swans were lucky to get the pen, as it was clear that Dyer actually racked his studs down Ramsey's shin before falling to the ground. But a fantastic finish from Super Dan!!

    I didn't see the match, but when Swansea are playing in a much-hyped game, this is what springs to mind:

    it was a good game, and always good to see the Arse lose, despite it being Swansea...and fab to see DG score, it was a great goal! Gotta say though, he makes a lot of runs for nothing, it seemed quite invisible for long stretches of the game, they really don't use him enough!

    Evening all. How is everyone. Its bitter cold up here, and even started to freeze at about 7:00!!!

    It was nice to see W_Y at the match. Its just a shame H was not there too, she seems to be a lucky charm lol.

    P.s I gave the ref plenty of abuse lol.
