MotM vs Birmingham

Given, Bridge (apart from the way he childishly kicked the ball away) and SWP are the only ones who have earned their wages for this game. If I were the one paying, of course.

Given did well and made two important saves - the tip onto the post was excellent and any penalty save is a top job. We have come to expect such things from him.

I thought Teves also played well. And Bellamy ran his socks off, even though not much came out of it.

Can't fault their effort, aye, but Tevez and Bellamy might as well have been a pair of Darius Vassells last night. Tevez in particular needs to learn when to pass.

Thing is, we are not playing well at all, in fact we are playing (mostly) shite, but we are not losing games.

Robbie, Ade and Toure to come back can and will make a difference.

Given of course

But I thought Bridge had another good game and Lescott rounded off my top 3
