I'm assuming the irony in that post was intentional? I fucking hope so. No wind-up merchant could be that transparent.

Nice.

Started that philosophy about a month back. I'm up about 40 quid. It's a long, long road mate.

FIXTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Wullie, ya dim cunt ya.

Aren't both sides down to 10?

All 2 goals up now. Leeds really bummed me yesterday or I'd be flying, pack of losers.

Need Chelsea, Everton and Mallorca to hold on and I'll be back to breaking even on the weekend.

Why is 0 not an option? I gave him 1, based on the fact that he sanctioned a couple of decent signings in the last window.

I always imagine Ronaldo is just like this in real life too. - "Was a cracking night out last Saturday, eh mate?" - "Certainly was. And to think, I was talking to a guy a few months back who said that club was shite at the weekends. And I told him he was wrong. And I've certainly been proved right in this instance, haven't I?" - "... yeah... suppose so, aye."

Fucking Leeds you accumulator ruining bastards. Hope the fucking place burns to the ground.

Sexy stuff.

Nicely set up for a 2nd half bumming this. Even Leon Best might get a goal!

Eat that!!

Kick off it is 25 mins past 3, just like all the games on Saturday.

Nice lineup. Encouraging stuff from Hughton, easy thing to do would have been to start Butt.

You just know he was planning for weeks beforehand to have that exact amount of stubble for the photoshoot.

Really hope Man U don't win the Premiership, just so the little gimp doesn't ever get that medal. Him not being there would be a nice silver lining to England winning the World Cup as well.

Cancelled my Sky Sports package just this minute. Pack of wankers. (Was planning to do so today anyway, regardless of this news. But I feel all the more vindicated now. )

And you were doing so well.

Thanks for that Dave.

Thanks for that Perluigi. My point is that the rule is absolutely stupid, not that I don't understand it.

What does he do then? The thing to do there is to let the ball land and either take it down or play it back to the keeper. However, every single instinct any decent defender has in that situation is telling him not to go messing about with a striker in close proximity, and in such a dangerous part of the field. So what does he do? He has to volley/header the ball back towards midfield, and likely give the ball back to the opposition. The striker is quite clearly "active" in the play there, even if he hasn't touched the ball.
