I'd say Holden has been among our best in the first few this season, so a little harsh. Petrov has been sacrificed twice already after red cards, although he looked terrible first half yesterday.

It didn't sound like a 50 something thousand crowd through my telly... Did they have the crowd mics turned down? Or were the Arse support truly worried for the majority?

Oh, and surprised with possession, we're 48% to their 52%. Our quality certainly hasn't been there... but admittedly they've given it to us a couple of times.

Also, Knight was no where near Chamakh... took a dive and was rightly told to get up and get a hair cut by the linesman.

I think after their goal Elmo was moved more to the right, with Lee to the middle... brought him into the game a little more. Davies is winning everything, and some nice flick ons too.

If Petrov gifts them the ball with a lazy pass again i might punch my telly.

But, it's all square...COYW!!

In other news, Ebi Smolarek has just come on for Poland against Australia. The crowd seems to love him in Poland. He did make one good run for us didn't he? Put a shot just over the bar late on somewhere?

Any chance of a stream for the cup match? Not being shown on TV here in Aus.

I found myself enjoying Wigan winning, a rare feeling towards a relegation rival. Although it is nice to see Gerard, Carragher and Torres all whinging. And by the looks of it on the TV, Benitez walked straight down the tunnel without shaking Martinez hand?

Haha, must be my selective memory!

I guess they haven't shown all the Sunderland games then

Probably asking too much to find our Cup game on somewhere. Here in Australia, Bolton were the only games not shown for the first two weekends of the season, whereas Sunderland were on both weeks, plus their cup game this week too! Aargh!

May be something here by kick off...
