Comfortable home win imo.

Ariddy got links wiv Balboa marra.

They work well, that's basically it. While other portuguese clubs struggle to pay their salaries, promising more than they can handle, they are rigorous and honest to all the players and staff. Instead of buying tons of brazilians, they invest in lower leagues players. Portuguese players. I bet they will have some nice deals by the end of the season as well. Oh, and they try to play and have possession. They don't sit waiting, no matter what's the opponent. Even in Estádio da Luz, they tried to press higher than most teams. That's a key factor. Positive football = positive results. 2 games left. If they win one, or Braga fails to win both, they will be in the Champions League playoff. While spending way less than Sporting or Braga. By only being there, even if they get destroyed, the 2013/14 season is paid. Their manager, Paulo Fonseca, will surely progress in his career. Braga may be the next step for him. I would keep an eye on him, he's still young, 40. Who's their manager?

I'd love Benitez here but I'm struggling to think of a single reason why he'd want the Newcastle job. Money would be the obvious one but that's out of the question. He'll have loads of better offers when he leaves Chelsea.

This being shown over here like? Don't think so, just the usual less than reputable sources. No bother.

New account needed I reckon. Just fucking start again.

GM's analogy with the restaurant was fine but as far as I'm concerned that restaurant is the only one in town. I've not got a choice to go to a different one. In fact I'd go so far as to say that it's the only place available where food is available and if I don't go there then I'll have to go without food and just starve.

Missed the '1' off.

Stopped exactly here.

Fcku fof. You really 42??....get some tests eh? He's 24.

The last season we only won 1 away game was in 1967/68. Surely to fucking god we're due another away win? 2 away wins in 27 attempts this season man. It's beyond pathetic.

Swindon were the last one iirc. Didnt man city do it? Nearly. They survived 1 season in Div 1 before dropping to the 2nd a season later.

Traffic incident.

Genuinely think we'll struggle to deal with them tomorrow. Can see Carroll having a field day and causing mayhem in the box at set pieces and in open play. I'd snap your neck off for a point but I don't think we'll get a thing unfortunately, we're a soft touch and they'll exploit it.

Commenting on it officially implies we give the piece credence. We should have left it alone completely. Schoolboy error to even acknowledge it tbh.

Pressure's building....

I don't know. Bit of a damned if you do type situation, isn't it? Could have felt as if they had to say something to counter the relentless negative onslaught from the media, to satisfy the 'impressionable' section of our support. The best response would have been to say nothing at all and go and win the next game and let the press speculate as much as they want, you can't stop it. The only thing that'll make it go away is getting results. Idiot at work listened to Neville's rant on MNF and now wants every French player dropped for West Ham. Because they're French. This is an intelligent bloke, degreed and normally sensible and grounded. He wants the team picked on nationality rather than talent. This is the issue. Don't disagree with your first paragraph, it's an opinion I share. But, the second is exactly what I'm on about. That's why I mentioned it. He's been influenced by what he's heard recently and he's normally a sensible guy.

I'm very cynical but the more they protest there's nothing untoward going on behind the scenes the less inclined I am to believe them. The ladies doth protest too much...

They've stopped playing for him man. Had we shown a little bit of fight in the last few games then I'd be right with you. Fact is they've given up on him and have thrown the towel in.

Just hope the useless cunts are watching it. Squirming like fuck.

Pilkington, man.
