oh for fucks sake

any news on kev or joey's fitness?

excellent news

Vela and Obertan are shit? what the fuck's going on in this thread?

Because we're currently 9th with home form as it currently is, the home form can only get better. On the other hand look at some of the home games that have gone - Wigan, Blackpool, Blackburn, Stoke, Fulham = 2 points. Stating the obvious but we've played games there that we should have got a minimum of 9 points from and we can't play those teams again. West Ham and Wolves are the only obvious home fixtures left that we can look at as "bankers" if anyone dares look at any game in that way. be realistic though, we play better against teams with more quality We have done thus far, but how confident are you that trend will continue? I don't think we can rely on that to keep us in the top half, I think we'll be ok, but not better than 15th. we've played better against more quality teams and repeatedly lost to shite for as long as i can remember.

isn't it the people who accept bribes for votes that 'don't help' ? Obviously. But all the accusations etc that got leaked by our own press did not help. If they've been bribed, it wouldn't matter what the press said. bingo

I loved that Putin was refusing to go until they'd been confirmed winners as well

two most expansively funded bids, i.e. the two bids that paid the voting panel off the most. Qatar's got a population of 600,000 for fucks sake, what kind of legacy is that world cup gonna leave exactly.

It was a shit world cup. i'm not sure it's fair to blame the host country for the shitness of the football to be honest

Hope Kev's fit like, him and barton back will make us more of a threat.

i'd be interested to see how he did, he'd certainly be a threat in behind and we've seen him have a few decent efforts on goal.

thought about posting something like this in the chelsea match thread. i think its worth giving routledge a game up front, he's a bit impotent on the wing imo, being inside, he has to beat a man and shoot, rather then beat them and cross.

mint

i cant watch that

went out to 7 on betfair, i'd already backed at 2 pre game

you are fucking joking, he's just lost me money
