It's about time we knocked this "X have a top 4 squad, Y only have a top 8 squad" nonsense on the head like. It reduces a complex team game to a formulaic predictable spreadsheet that Leicester have proved it is not.

Yup. Don't remember too many articles like this: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/apr/21/everton-roberto-martinez-manager-job-wembley

I'm having that one.

Peter Coates actually has very little to do with bet365, it's Denise who runs the show. They're the ideal club owners really - incredibly successful local business. They pay all their tax as well as they are still 100% based in the UK, unlike most other betting companies. Good on them.

Legally Bet365 don't own them at all. Don't think that's true like. From Stoke's own website: "The ultimate parent company of Stoke City FC Ltd is bet365 Group Ltd."

Wigan

Absolutely 100% agree. It's an utter disgrace that innocent (until proven guilty) people have their lives ruined. Wouldn't have helped Ched Evans much.

I'd hope if the future allegations weren't proven then he'd have serious claims against all those that conspired to put him away Who are you talking about here exactly?

He's not guilty, and only will be if he gets found guilty. Rapists are disgusting and deserve everything they get, but I hope you're aware that less than 10% of accused rapists are proven guilty in court. I'm not suggesting that means 90% are innocent, but it's clear that crying rape is a huge problem, for two reasons: 1. Innocent people are being accused of rape and having their lives destroyed. 2. Actual rape victims have to face the 'cry rape' stigma because of those who do 'cry rape'. In my opinion, the penalty for crying rape needs stiffening (although I acknowledge that the majority of cases will end not-guilty both ways on lack of evidence). The clear-up rate for burglaries is similar, about 10% as well. It's a real problem, all these people pretending they've been burgled. Throw away the key I say.

This is ridiculous, the bloke had you finishing 5th, and now has kept you up comfortably. Careful what you wish for.

Very borrowed?

It's not the perfect time to play them like. They're in really excellent form and I think they'll win tomorrow as well.

Really?

2-2 draw.

Good result. Firmly believe that if Rafa had been brought in after the Chelsea game with 3 weeks before Stoke and Bournemouth, we'd be as good as safe by now.

Fucking yes!

Fucking atrocious finishing from Sissoko. Got to go on your left there, no matter what your favourite is.

The crowd have certainly been geed up by a bad decision like. Heard someone cough there.

God our players are utterly thick as mince. Absolutely desperate to give that exact set piece away over and over and over again.

Adverts for his company in Korean ffs.

:lol:

Plymouth I don't understand the ongoing hatred for Villa. I bear a footballing grudge longer than anyone but we beat them 6-0 on the first day back. That was more than enough satisfaction to draw a line under it, and I say that as someone who was at Villa Park. It's not like we were cheated or hard done by - "football fans in 'taking piss' shocker" Prefer to focus my hatred on the people responsible for that relegation (and more than likely this one too).

I'd be panicking like fuck if I was a Leicester City fan.

Ah Jesus.
