    It's the 12th December ;)

    37 goals in the last 10 games between the sides, never any less than 2 goals a game. Promising!

    Thanks for that Funk, our record against Watford is similar to that v Stoke and we got the right result then, so here's hoping that form repeats itself tomorrow, and good luck with the house hunting, it can be a pain in the arse until you hit on the right one then bingo!!!

    I wonder who will haunt us probably Defoe now Kevin Phillips can´t score against us any more!

    I´m going for a 2.2 draw here!

    Enjoy the game!

    I completely disagree. I enjoyed the last big ****e I had.... Haven't enjoyed Rodwell at all! And I'm one of these "I think he'll be a decent player" folk... Well.... I was
