Nobody

Very harsh on Ranger, even though he looked knackered on Sunday. If we want Carroll back, Butt or Nolan should have been the sacrifice, not Ranger.

This isn't the chat section.

Blackpool to score as a result of a Ryan Taylor freekick is more likely. Ha... to be fair to Taylor though - his set piece delivery has actually improved considerably since the beginning of the season, and it's really promising. I mean, for instance - the woeful free-kick away at West Brom that led to them scoring is stark contrast to one or two he was whipping in vs Cardiff; there were one or two just begging to be put away the other day. Glad to see he's improving cos he looked utter f***ing garbage at first. I can't understand why Guthrie isn't on corners, at least some of the time. Whipped in some great balls against 'boro last season. Guthrie should take all the set pieces in my ever so humble opinion I quite agree with you.

www.nufc.co.uk, sign up for £17.99 for a year to get radio coverage for every game if you're outside the U.K. That is the only way to listen to the game if you're not in the U.K

So, there'll be one guy with a top hat and one with parkinsons disease there tonight?

shouls be a rule of the thread. "no decleration of bets after kick off". sometimes i'm suspicious of peiople saying about their accys or waiting on one result when we only find out after. Yeah ... because people really want to impress people like you. Don't flatter yourself. More often than not playing it simple & obvious is better than punting(AKA the daft £5 accumulator . Well played I've only bet a few times, done the standard thing of putting a couple of quid on a wild 6/7 game accy. Not going to bother with that anymore. Might as well increase the stake and like you say just bet on dead certs. It is definitely the way to go, anyone who's even semi-serious about their betting will tell you the same. I do, however, understand people who put a bit of dough on a few games to make them interesting just for the fun of it. It's not the way to make money in the long run though.

That's it, isn't it? You're a manwhore who sell yourself for information from different parts of the media? Busted!

To be fair to Smith, he was actually decent for quite a few games where he played DM for us in the prem as well. He was mostly used as a CM or striker though, but I think he could still do a job in a three man midfield in the premiership should we get promoted. He'll no doubt be missed today, but as has been said, a midfield of Butt, Guthrie, Barton and Taylor should be plenty good enough to beat Blackpool.

I love the "we're only playing Blackpool" mentality quite a few have adopted.

Would be more concerned about Atletico tbh. Can't fucking believe they didn't score today like. Fuck.

He's a twat of the highest order, but shouldn't get punished for the celebration. Kicking Van Persie in the face he should get done for though.

Haha, i love the sign with N.A.M.B.L.A! Southpark I only found out about a year ago that N.A.M.B.L.A is actually a real organisation. Makes the episode about ten times funnier

Probably a wise move. I blame my possibly poor betting on being in a hurry this morning as I thought I wouldn't be home until after kick off. To be honest, I don't like betting on away teams at all in the Champions League, as getting a point away from home is usually not too bad for most teams.

£25 on an accumulator with Manu at 1.50, Real Madrid at 1.25, Chelsea at 1.36, Bayern Munich at 1.45 and Atletico Madrid at 1.16. Got a nasty feeling that Man U or Bayern Munich will let me down.

What the fuck?

This thread should be one of them famous internet threads, like the one with the "sexy" girlfriend on that bodybuilding forum.

Yeah all your hockey players in the NHL & soon all your best youngsters heading to English clubs. Couldn't give a fuck about "our youngsters", the Swedish league has been shite for a long time, this won't change the quality of our league much. I just want to see the quality of the players in the PL to be as good as possible, it really shouldn't matter where they come from or where they've been taught. It's a rather racist rule, IMHO.

I don't like this rule one bit.

Just keeps getting better and better this thread

Harsh that Pilko, he said not to quote him.

As much as I hate Butt and think he's fucking useless, that midfield should still be the best in the league.
