    Rafa will play our reserve team + Torres and Gerrard.

    ...and nobody will notice.

    Don't worry Psychotic, if Arsenal don't beat Fulham on the weekend the papers will no doubt take time out from their recent incessant kicking of Liverpool to start giving Arsenal the same treatment. Since of course nowadays two league games in a row without a win = CRISIS for the likes of Man Utd (back in August), Chelsea (when Mourinho left), Liverpool (the last few weeks) and Arsenal (possibly now) in the newspapers' eyes.

    Oh you're just saying that you big softy.

    I just don't get how a team that can, on their day, play better than Arsenal and United (I said it!) and get crazy high-scoring wins like 8-0 can look like they've never played together in their life when they come up against the likes of Brum. It's baffling.

    We just failed to beat Birmingham too you know!

    As for Liverpool, I've given up trying to figure them out. I reckon they will beat Inter though.

    I remember when we lost to Wrexham in the Third Round in 1992, it's a horrible feeling I know

    I've seen Everton lose to Oldham and Shrewsbury in recent years. I'm clearly the most hurt here.

    Decided I'd look into this after Keegan went on about how he knew the club etc. He knows the club. Exactly how well does he know the players? Current Newcastle United players that Keegan has managed at club level...

    1. Joey Barton, while he was at Manchester City.
    2. Steve Harper, 32 year old second choice goalkeeper. Keegan loaned him out consistently throughout his last management stint at Newcastle.
    3. Peter Ramage, who for a season or two was in the youth system / reserves while Keegan was last in charge at Newcastle.

    Joey Barton for captain! xD I would laugh so hard.

    In all seriousness, though, it'll be interesting to see how this goes. I'm really looking forward to keeping an eye on things out that way as I've heard so much about Keegan's Newcastle days after I started to follow football.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Owen...captain?

    Owen wouldn't be able to deal with such a job. Just give the captain's armband to Nicky Butt, or Shay Given.

    Arsenal need to make up for their previous slip up against Birmingham, by comfortably winning this game. Hopefully Man U will miss out on points today...

    We did get a comfortable win in the end, needed that to help steady the ship. Man Utd and Chelsea won but then Reading took points off the former earlier in the year so was always asking a lot to expect them to do it again. It's still nicely poised and no-one looks unbeatable.

    Impressive. Chelsea really is keeping the old blood flowing, ehh?

    It doesn't look like the Keegan effect has kicked in yet. However, we kept a clean sheet! :surprised

    If it kicks in when you play us, I shall not be happy

    Africa Nations Cup starts today, should be interesting viewing.

    What a dreadful performance by Everton today. Moments of goodness, but in the end it was rather disappointing football. Odd moments of goodness, but mainly pretty dire. I suppose Moyes probably had his eye on Wednesday night (as he did against Oldham). We better beat Chelsea on Wednesday.
