Wait a second, that red means Reina misses the semi final, which we need them to win to cement 6th as a European place

These useless cunts are going to lose the semi final and prevent us from getting into Europe, aren't they.

Not only was that fantastic and fucking hilarious in equal measures, bit of had a quid on 2-0 Cisse first scorer at 50-1. Scouse mates on Facebook are being painfully magnanimous in defeat.

Man City, why u no play like a team full of £30m players when u play mackems?

Use the same tactics we use against the mackems, gan mental at kick off and make them bottle it.

14/1 first goalscorer on Bet365, surely worth a cheeky punt at that price.

There's still one of them there, non? Yeah. Looks like she ate the other one.

Edited subject for clarity

O'Neill has no plan B. If selecting the same team as last week and doing his best Braveheart speech in the dressing room doesn't do it, that's it.

Liverpool could beat us 10-0 and we've still proved him wrong. True enough but I just don't like the idea of such a banner when there's still 8 games left! Ian W's got it right, if we win, I'm sure we'll give Jose an appropriate send off - just have to think of a chant really..... I think a cheeky "You should have stayed at a big club" would do.

Turkish Ultras react on the banning of flares in stadium... Good one!

It's almost lazy to make a comparison with Robert, because it's the obvious one, but there's something to it. Yes, he'll lose the ball, yes, he might have a quiet spell, yes he may not have tracked back for an opposition chance, but as long as he's on the pitch you know that any minute he can grab the game by the knackers and completely turn it around in 20 seconds of genius. And you need players like that as much as you need reliable, consistent players where you know exactly what you're going to get for 90 minutes. Plus, this mix of positive/negative traits are hardly unrelated in these kinds of players, they lose the ball because they're willing to take a risk and run forward with the ball looking for weakness rather than taking the safe sideways pass or hopeful hoof. They sometimes don't track back or have a quiet period because they've just sprinted their knackers off up half the pitch. I'm not sure how you'd classify the type of player who puts in that consistent input of talent and effort in a constant, even ticking over the whole game (workhorse sounds a bit negative for what is often a positive trait) but I'd say in comparison, Ben Arfa is a spurt player.

Well, this is the eternal paradox of the Fantasy Manager, isn't it. Sometimes you want both a plaeyr to score and the team they're playign against to keep a clean sheet. I'll monkey around with my starting line up before friday, it's basically if I want to put all my eggs in one basket or not.

They seem to be taking a silver lining out of it in that if Everton can so comprehensively beat Pennywell Barcelona then they'll definitely overtake us for 6th.

Panicked this morning when I saw this on my RSS feed. United check on Magpies keeper

I'm just pleased we've won our biggest game of the season can just chill out and rundown the rest of the campaign with just trivial matches like next week's where we have the chance to cement our position above Liverpool.

Maybe if Cattermole didn't run like he was in a scene from the Six Million Dollar man he wouldn't have to grab and hack and players jogging past him.
