To be honest I’ve gone beyond wanting a stuffing. A scrappy 1-0 win courtesy of an own goal will do for me as it will end a run of six games without victory which has put our great start to the season in jeopardy.
However it won’t be easy and the first goal will be important. It was evident against West Brom when they scored first. Prior to that we looked confident and never really looked in any danger of losing but once Peter Odemwingie put the Baggies ahead we started to lose that bit of confidence and ended up chasing things which if course suited West Brom.
Today will be much the same in my opinion. Bolton may have got a positive result against Blackburn in midweek but prior to that they went through an awful run that saw then planted near the foot of the table. Confidence will still be lacking from Owen Coyle’s men and a goal against them will set the alarm bells ringing once more. Consequently the reverse is also true and if Bolton score first they’ll gain more confidence.
Anyway, that is enough of a preview from me! Why? Simple really. Shamrock has once again written a most excellent preview which you can view here which you can then follow up on by reading a bit of a stat-attack from our resident statto here.
As far as a stream goes, I’m hopeful of finding one although you can never be certain of finding a reliable stream. What I will say is that it is being broadcast on quite a few overseas channels so the chances of finding one are fair to moderate. If you do stumble across one then why not share it with the rest of us?
That just about wraps this festive ‘Game On’ feature up and now it’s over to you guys to get the banter and chit-chat flowing.
Howay the lads!

Maybe is time Jonas should get back to Right wing.
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Simpson has been fine. Not great, not ****, just simpson.
Newkie(Quote)
Aye, we probably could do better but he is a decent squad player.
Thought you we’re going to stop anyway?
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Ok. So we play HBA on the wing. Which side? Do we allow effectively a free run at Raylor or Simpson?
People spend too much time playing Football Manager 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
2nd half has got to be better. just drunk a bottle a port shouting at the tv.
toonitis(Quote)
toonsy u recon they will play benny or vukic on the wing? 😉 😉
ICE PUP(Quote)
Christ i thought Obertan was our main concern but reading these comments looks like Best and Jonas AND Tiote are on thin ice . What the hell is up with em, they was all playing out their skins afew weeks back. Just shows what a run of losses does for team moral .Pards is gonna have to put Benny on and take a chance on sameobi in place of Oba.
kimtoon(Quote)
I hope we start to get a bit of a spark this half as we are looking lost
Big Dave(Quote)
Newkie, i just dont remeber seeing him, so he cant of done anything wrong like! 😆
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
in games against Chelsea Benny was send off at half time and was better than Best today? don’t agree
HBA39(Quote)
Why doesn’t Toonsy consider my suggestion. 👿 Play Jonas on Right,Obertan sub off. Shane on left wing. No need for ben arfa at wing.
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
toonsy – we shouldn’t be playing the winger who’s best at defending! If that’s the case we need to concentrate on buying better full backs.
Stuart79(Quote)
Cheik Tiote most dispossessed player for Nufc; 3 times he’s lost out.
😯 😉
toonsy(Quote)
give cahill a fucking card ffs
Newkie(Quote)
in the right or left wing, that’s doesn’t matter he can track back and defend a little bit. Obertan doesn’t track back so much and if you wanna win you need to attack more than you defend.
And as i sayed before i was sure no change until the 70 minutes if we stayed at 0-0 because Pards happy with that and at the end he will say I’m happy with my defense and we was unhappy to score..
HBA39(Quote)
Stu @ 160 – Weeeeey, we got there in the end. Does anyone think that Ben Arfa on the wing has not been thought about? Perhaps there is little confidence in Raylor or Simpson to go about their work without a bit of help? 😉
AOD – I read it. That is one option 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
where is the fukin card mr ref? 👿
ron(Quote)
Just seen a bright light on the sidelines. Unsure whether it was Ben Arfa’s halo or the sun shining out of his ****? 😕 😯
toonsy(Quote)
The sooner Jabba the c@nt gets us £25mil worth of new players the better 😀
Big Dave(Quote)
Spence 😛
To be fair I think he’s been good for us this season. Nowt amazing but he crosses better than Obertan and probably Jonas.
Newkie(Quote)
you see the difference between our wingers and a good winger( Petrov) one class control he eliminates and a good cross..
HBA39(Quote)
Toonsy, shall we drop him? 😉
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Who is this Lancashire ****** commentating? Saying it’s a short distance for NUFC fans on Boxing Day? Only the longest away trip today like but nevermind. ****.
toonsy(Quote)
We’re not going to go and buy new full backs so we need to concentrate on wingers who can run with the ball and create somethin, not one who can defend.
Stuart79(Quote)
My steam has gone all **** now!
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Sunlun 1-1 Everton 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
Decent turn and movement from Best but should have looked for demba maybe 😕
Newkie(Quote)
one article 2 days ago says the left back of Bolton is very poor and even he has Petrov who never tracks defensively but at the end Obertan or SImpson was never dangerous offensively.. so…
HBA39(Quote)
Howard Webb just dropped a ******* at stadium of *****,given a pen that never was to Everton and Baines just leveled the score ,ha ha ha : 😀

Howay lads this is scruffy!

Tony cottee says it is an awful game
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
Bolton looking much the better side. Seriously what the **** is wrong with us.
Newkie(Quote)
How has Jonas escaped criticism. I am sick to death of him. Garbage winger. He is a bench player at most.

Tony Cottee is right

ET @ 182 – +1
toonsy(Quote)
Toonsy-I’d agree with you that Vuckic isn’t a winger…but how many times have you seen him play there?
Joey Barton isn’t a winger. Wasn’t he was voted our best player last year? Just a thought like.
Newkie(Quote)
for **** sakes.
Newkie(Quote)
Just managed to start watching.
by the way, Toonsy is on fire! 😆
Toon TRW(Quote)
Better from Oba
Shamrock(Quote)
Leon Best…Sell in the Summer.
~ El Toro ~(Quote)
**** me how is best still on
CC(Quote)
wow how **** can best be today?
ron(Quote)
agree with you newkie. Its very easy you cannot be dangerous offensively or create one action with one player in the four that is dangerous. I jusst CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW BEST IS IN THE PITCH STILL NOW
HBA39(Quote)
Does anyone wish Jose wasnt a money grabbing goof? Jonas has not looked the same since we lost him!
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
We seriously need something out of this ,away to the bindippers next and can’t stand the thought of Carrol getting one against us.
kimtoon(Quote)
Obertan has done more in this 2 actions than in the last 5 or 6 games. A good cross and a shot in the target
HBA39(Quote)
Sorry… all those saying obertan is playing **** needs to screw their head on… him and tim krul have been our best players so far.
I agree that best isn’t having a good game though… his control isn’t his best.
Nobby(Quote)
The consistent picking of players who are clearly out of form reminds me of Hughton….
Just as I write this he brings Benny on! 😆
Moreno(Quote)
Leon Best, OFFSIDE AGAIN? 😡
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
bring on shola
toonitis(Quote)
Ben Arfa comes on backed by a group of choir singers and angels and harps. Our saviour 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
Obertan’s first shot on target for NUFC people
Newkie(Quote)
Ben arfa you best not play ****, we will all look silly 😛
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Chance for Benny to be a hero.
kimtoon(Quote)
At least we might not lose the ball everytime it goes up front now.
Stuart79(Quote)
newkie and a good shot too
ron(Quote)
really hope that Ben Arfa will score and after starts next game againts Liverpool
HBA39(Quote)
Tell you what though. Demba Ba is too good for us. We’ll make a tidy profit on him next year
Moreno(Quote)
Charlie Adam OG?
I hear the Liverpool players are printing t-shirts in support of him…
toonsy(Quote)
Spence @ 202 he wouldn’t need to do much to be better than the player he replaced, and some wondered why he didn’t get into a sh1te republic side 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
He cant play when we are playing pin ball like, this long ball is frustrating as anything!
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
Toonsy,The saviour Stevie G is on. 😛
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Ba looks lost up front on his own….
toonsy(Quote)
BENNNN ARFAAAAA
