Why can't boots and laces pull a load of pints through before HT. They know they will sell em. Weve actually scored a goal I want a pint to celebrate!!

I'm pretty sure he's one of only two fit midfielders we have, I'm not exactly sure who he thinks should have played instead.

Pleased to see him back though, he was a little disappointing earlier in the season but hopefully watching the dross we've been subjected to since then has motivated him to improve.

You buy a beer token before the game and then they pour the pint just before half time and you then come and collect it. Surprised the club don't do this already, it's done at other clubs.

Scott - who said I didn't want Harding to play. The issue is that neither Stevens nor Harding have played a game in god knows how long. Therefore playing both is a massive risk. Hargreaves has a fit midfielder in Craig so why is he still at Dorchester.
The chances of Harding or Stevens being effective in the second half is pretty slim the longer the game goes. Yeoman would have been another option to slot into midfield.
Someone has mentioned that our bench is strong. The concern I have is that players such as Bodin or Stockley are just on the bench to make the numbers up and are not fit enough to play.
I guess we will know the answer to that in the second half as Bodin is a shoe in to replace Stevens.
If the aforementioned players are not fit enough to come on then not recalling Yeoman and Craig is really poor for me.

And, in the interests of fairness, the goal was scored by Benyon who Brucie has been backing all season.

Not sure why I'm saying this because he cares about nobody other than himself, but I'm all for fairness I guess....

Well, lovely to get home and find we're not losing...how are we playing? BBC crap text updates show it as being pretty even at the moment, is commentary sounding that way?

Billy Kee on - what's the betting?

Insightful comment from the Scottish bloke '2 nil down is not a good result for Manchester.'

Really?..I thought it was quite good...

Why do we make subs so late? Caution to the wind it's now approaching sh1t or bust time with our season. Can I get a bet on us using our subs after Kee scores???

And for the record Man U losing is actually making me feel a WHOLE lot better
