I blame Owen

I reckon Cisse is doing one of those "work to rule" things. "Well I'm technically paid to step onto the pitch..."

Mike Williamsonesque

Not sure why you'd shoot from 25 yards in a friendly...

"Out of respect to Joe and his family, we haven't made a statement until we had contacted them. There has been no job offer to Joe Kiinear."

Joe Kinnear (media relations)

Didn't even give a foul did he?!

Corner turned into a counter-attack, didn't see that one coming

Almost as bad as his dad.

He's so funny when he doesn't roll out the expected cliches.

Martinez to Everton?

Whelan saves up all year for mental drugs to give to his players 6 weeks from the end of the season.

I don't think they are, I think it's just something Sky have been saying to big it up. Brighton is pretty much just a London town because of the sheer amount of Londoners going there for day trips and weekends. It goes back to the 70s man and has nothing to do with location. Wasn't it originally something to do with a player for one of the sides getting his leg snapped in this fixture? Something like that - I seem to recall it was absolutely nothing to do with location, and entirely about something relatively trivial. I fucking hate Palace. It's a shit hole of a ground, and even if you go there from elsewhere in London, it takes fucking ages to get there. I used to live next to the Palace ground. Can confirm it's both a shit ground and a shit location.

He makes routledge look like a good player...

A real insight into what they do with the other 90% of the day once they've pulled a rumour out their arse.

Overruns the ball, gets a freekick

Caldwell having a shocker

How did I know McManaman was a scouser before I'd even checked?

Just got in, did I just hear "these stubborn defences"?!

At this rate, the summer rumours are going to be a piece of piss. Newcastle are rumoured to be after players A, B and C. "Newcastle would like to strenuously deny being interested in players B and C"

dont sound too bad if say the Toon had a big game on? Not be too harsh as it's a good step but it's web-based streaming only, to which you can find a free one quicker than you can sign up for theirs. I'm just bitter I can't get sky

ITV is less shit when anyone other than Chiles is on.
