Remember when Utaka was good? Now he's shitter than me

Shit the bed.

They'd only need a draw at Chelsea to stop up

FUCK ME how close was that? Crouch hit the post and it rolled along the line

David James out injured, blessing or curse? Portsmouth: Begovic, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Utaka, Davis, Mullins, Hughes, Kanu, Crouch. Subs: Ashdown, Primus, Kaboul, Nugent, Traore, Basinas, Belhadj. Sunderland: Fulop, Bardsley, Davenport, Ferdinand, Collins, Tainio, Malbranque, Whitehead, Leadbitter, Richardson, Jones. Subs: Colgan, Edwards, Cisse, Murphy, Reid, Healy, McShane. Referee: Alan Wiley (Staffordshire).

Shearer himself said it was "probably right" after the game, not exactly a convincing argument for it getting overturned.

Eh? All the matches kick off at 4pm don't they? Probably just the difference in build-up to the game and then Sky go multi-screen at kick-off. Last year Sky had at least one game on the red button

:colo: = = = Lots of Overall =

That'll be to get him some match practice. Otherwise he'd be going to face Eto'o, Messi et al without having played for a month.

It's set up to be one of those nights, goals in the 88th and 94th mniute or something from Man Utd.

Man Utd played quite a few kids against Everton, the 6th best team in the league. And it was 0-0.

Alexander's 37 and started every one of their 60 games, christ.

I'm sure Dave Kitson never used to be this shite

For all Bassong has been immense, he has a head like a 50p. He wins a fuck load of headers but they could go in any direction - it's even more noticeable when he goes up for corners. Not a fault as such because he's a class defender, just something I noticed.

We'll know after the Saturday games, although that's fairly obvious. If we match Hull's result we should be ok, Boro may well get a result off Villa and I'm worried that by the time Liverpool play WBA the title will already have been won by Man Utd. In summary, Saturday is the key day.

Boro: Jones, Hoyte, Taylor, Bates, Huth, O'Neil, Shawky, Tuncay, Downing, Emnes, Alves

Subs: Krul, Martins, Lovenkrands, R Taylor, Coloccini, Carroll, ANother I wasn't listening, Kazenga I think.

That's what Radio Newcastle says. 4-4-2 before Skirge lines them in a 3-2-2-1-2 or something Edit: Too late

Harper, Beye, Taylor, Bassong, Duff, Guthrie, Jonas, Nolan, Butt, Owen, Viduka. Martins amongst the subs

Just play Lovenkrands, he's faster than the half fit Martins and he's scored more goals than him in 2009 in probably a similar amount of games.

I want us to win and then I want Shearer to stand on Huth's knackers

Surely the first post was referring to Giles Barnes' goal in the 2-2?

Villareal equalise

Come on Stoke, Blackburn and Bolton. Stoke and Bolton for obvious reasons, Blackburn so that Pompey host the mackems the next week needing a win to absolutely guarantee safety. Blackburn have an easy run-in anyway, them winning here won't matter too much.

That was 2-2...
