    Just finished watching the game again ...

    Mane was fantastic. Nice to see him playing well from the right, too, because I feel we sacrifice too much in terms of structure when we play him through the middle.

    Tadic is so much better when he plays on the left.

    JWP's passing and all round game were very good, I can't think of many better games he has played for us. Interesting to hear RK say afterwards that he may have found the right position for him.

    Early days but Romeu looks like a great signing.

    I enjoyed the fact that JWP played better yesterday as he is one of our own. I have always thought he is a player more admired by footballers than fans, so he must be doing something right. If he can raise his general all round game, his dead ball ability will make him a regular starter....like an early Beckham. He is so close with his free kicks...just needs one GK to take pity on him.

    I was thinking the same thing .. he just needs one to go in and his confidence will grow.

    Can't remember when he last played the holding midfielder role but he was so much better than Davis there.
    Always there when needed but got into the box twice from crosses 2nd half with perfect timing and only a last ditch header stopped him scoring.
    Romeu looked more relaxed knowing his partner wouldn't go walk-about. But at the same time much more mobile than Victor. Takes a good footballing brain that.

    It was only v a 10-man Norwich but 10 men have beaten 11 before ... and they did beat Sunderland!
    ( OK I don't think that last bit helped my case in the slightest did it?)

    Yeah, JWP's best game for us in a long time. He was excellent. He seemed to handle the physical aspects a lot better yesterday, he won some aerial duels which you don't see too often! Special mention as well for Targett who was great and gave Redmond nothing.

    Not quite true. I think he gave him a couple of bruises and looked like he gave him a grumpy mood too :)

    About 20 years ago I had a dream about making love to Madonna. I remember it precisely because it was so vivid. Now I have never found her particularly attractive, in all honesty, but she's very good between the sheets, let me tell you. Woke up and the wife had wrapped herself around me. I wonder what else she'd done while I was asleep.!?! :)

    At the first glance I though you said that you had a dream about making love to Maradona. :D

    I'd prefer that to the footballer with the teeth and a propensity to bite.

    Crikey, that would have been a typo I wouldn't be able to live down. :)

    Did he say that it was him, and not you?
