Take That blaring out at the Brittania, that'll get the fans in the mood.

I'm pretty gutted I spent 4 points on getting Dzeko in my team, but at least I didn't spend £50m of real money. That's all I have to comfort me.

Boo you don't play for us any more boo why the fk should we care about you ...if you didn't care about him you wouldn't boo him. To be fair when Les came back with Leicester he got cheered on, then his first touch he was jeered. It's just how it is, I think Barton thrives on it though so I'd rather we just didn't do anything.

Shit aye, one year. Seems longer, for some reason.

"Boooo! The board we hate got rid of you! Booooo! You were great for us the last 2 years boooooooooo"

Have they got many injuries other than Frazier Campbell and Craig Gordon? Or is that 18 they've got out today...it?

It really annoys me that Blackburn have Samba and Dann as a centre half partnership. They have fuck all else and if they didn't have those two they'd definitely go down.

He's not in the first 11

Unfortunately it does mean they'll probably stick with their 4-4-1-1 thing freeing up Sessegnon rather than plonking him on the left in a 4-4-2, which is a shame.

Apparently Mancini alluded to it in his presser yesterday, went on the City forums last night and they seem convinced Tevez is starting (something about not playing him in the CL so a CL could still buy him in January? Seems odd but anyway...), with Balotelli due to get a game as well. Aguero's been in Africa or something so he'll be kept back for Napoli. Nout confirmed yet though, Mancini should just man up and play him, there are bandwagon jumpers to appease!

Looking forward to Match of the day fixing their titles with him doing his dance all the way out the door

Really wanted to get Dzeko in ahead of Man CIty vs Wigan and had to pay 4 points to get him in there. And now he might be rested. Good decision

I couldn't get on at work from about 10.30am, er not that I browse at work. But yeah. I'll try again on Monday.

That's all well and good, but that was written today. 15 days from today is the 23rd...not the 17th when we play Villa.

May as well have Armenia win the group. Why the fuck not

That was really really boring. One up front against Wales

How on earth did Slovakia 0 - 4 Armenia happen? Got to fancy 2nd place at least now, get Best in the team and you'll probably win Euro 2012 [/Ronaldo]

Splendid goal [/Jonathan Pearce]

And Gary Cahill at the back too, well played best chairman in the world Randy Lerner

Had a feeling Milner would end up playing as soon as Capello was full of "stopping Bale." Makes sense to keep Parker from getting a ban, thought we'd seen the last of Lampard but whatever. Just win and don't be dicks

If Ireland win their last 2 games (Andorra away and Armenia home) they're guaranteed second by my reckoning, with Slovakia vs Russia still to come. Get the Czech's or someone equally shit in the playoffs (Montenegro? They're pretty shit other than one or two players and being mega organised) and who knows.

Fucking hell, that ref will be raped tonight.

With Estonia to play twice you must still have a chance of 2nd, no?
