Playing quite well at the minute. Donovan looks like he would fit right it if we managed to sign him.

His corners are excellent.

Played very well last week considering he had only been at Everton for 5 days. Could prove to be a quality decision by Moyes.

Sigh, I picked it beforehand.
Craig Bellamy, all five foot nothing of him, for some unknown reason in the middle of the wall, letting them go over the top. I know you don't want your best headers in the wall but it seems crazy to me not to have the bigger men who are in the wall towards the middle, to stop them going over it.

As for Stoke, surely the management of the club must have questions to answer over the David James affair?
1) Did their greed prevent the signing of David James? Would he have have tamely patted down that freekick to the opposition?
2) What was the effect on Sorensen of their flirting with the Pompey keeper? Is it the sort of thing that would boost his confidence, or perhaps give the indication that "We're not sure about you"?

Apparently there are doubts over Sorenson's fitness, he has pulled out of training and pre match warmups a few times this season. David James is on silly wages, incredibly silly wages, Stoke did right in not breaking their wage budget to accommodate a 39yr old keeper who flaps as well as the next keeper.

...which I why I never understood their pursuit of him in the first place. They already have backup in Simonsen, I could have maybe understood courting a younger stopper, but not someone like David James who is old and on the big bucks. With the story getting out I just don't think it's done them any favours with respect to Sorensen.

Yeah I agree, it cannot have helped Sorenson's confidence much knowing Pulis was ready to bring in a keeper who wants first team football for the rest of the season to try and get a spot in the WC squad.
 
Anyone spotted the names of the assistant referees for the Bolton v Arsenal game today?

Mark Scholes & Patrick Keane

:D

Who would have thought that we'd ever see the partnership of Scholes and Keane again in the EPL? :p

And that was some goal by Cole yesterday, lovely bit of skill and a finish worthy of any top striker in the world.
