It's all a bit predictable with Arsene these days. Whatever goes wrong, it is never, ever his or Arsenal's fault. The red card was iffy, but if Arsenal had played with a dozen players last night, they still wouldn't have won. Both before and after the red card, it was the most one sided match I have ever seen, so much so, that the camera panning to the Barcelona half of the pitch felt weird. A bit like when you move over and sleep on the unused side of the bed (assuming your bed partner is not there, obv), into the cold bit.

Was he ever going to be welcomed back into the fold at Villa though? I doubt it. There was a chance before this article, certainly more chance than there is now. For a start, Houllier's hardly looking like Sir Alex in the job security stakes. The guy is a fucking fruitloop. When he joined us, he made a raft of disparaging remarks about Man City. Fair enough ,if that was what he thought, but no need to cause such trouble. Now he's about to make a start for you, and he's doing the same about Villa. It is as if he's trying to impress people without having the intelligence to realise that that doesn't always have to mean slagging other people of - especially when you're only on loan till the end of the season! He's a child. I mean, "my team always won in training!" - it's the sort of thing schoolkids say The key thing in all of this is that whatever goes wrong, it is never Stephen Ireland's fault.

I bet anything you like, within two years he's playing in the MLS. Regardless of his opinions on anything he mentions in that article, it isn't the fact that he holds those opinions, it is the fact he's so stupid he thinks it is ok to go blathering them out to a journalist. Talk about burning your bridges.

Oh,. and "I was the best player against Chelsea"? I was at the match, and if you think aimlessly jogging around two yards off the pace for ninety minutes whilst continually looking exasperated (a bit like Petrov, come to think of it) is a man of the match winning performance, then you're off your head.

I told you. He's absolutely fucking mental. "Boo hoo, it took me over an hour to get to training", poor little thing on his 70k a week. That "I was the best player in training" line is exactly the same one he used when he came to us. It is always, always someone else's fault with Ireland.

3000 of them forked out to go up there and watch that shite. I don't blame them. I'd be fucking livid. 3000, you wish Took 4000, sold 3000.

Eh? I thought it was 35,000,000 See what i did there?

Who knocked you out, again? *whistles saucily*

Beye's training with Warnock and the kids, for being a tit. Hello hello hello, what's the story here? Warnock and Beye are, apparently, whingeing cunts, so have been training with the reserves. Look at that line up tonight - a junior school kid at right back and a midfielder at left back rather than bring those two tosspots back.

Oh, look, there's a David Attenborough thing on BBC2.

I can not believe we're playing the fucking kids tonight. Really, really disappointed. I was going to go to this match, and fucking glad I didn't bother now.

Newcastle - Watford, 1986. 2-2 draw.

First and foremost, above absolutely everything - the superfluous use of the term "the football club" by people involved in the game. "My role here is to bring stability to the football club, and win matches for the football club, to move the football club forward" It's like some spastic football industry person once heard someone use "the football club" instead of "the club" and thought "oooh, that sounds dead intelligent, I'm going to do that all the time, too", and now it has spread like fucking wildfire. I HATE IT. What do they think we'll think if they say "the club"? The bingo club? The Buena Vista Social Club? Some piece of golf apparatus. STOP SAYING IT FFS, STOP IT.

The Premier League is not the best league in the world by a very long shot. It is the best marketed league in the world, though.

I dont get this post? Would you prefer Arsenal beat them? eh...yes. Considering our position right now I'd rather have seen Arsenal beat them as it would have given us a better chance to reaching Europe which by the way we are playing isn't impossible but knowing that it's Newcastle its actually a tad ridiculous to hope European football. Fuck that. Birmingham winning was a good day for football. Everyone always bleats on about how only the big clubs win trophies and the fact the media would have jizzed all over if they had of won. Also, having to hear the fucking cockneys moan on about not winng a trophy for 6 whole years - fuck, my heart bleeds. It gives other teams, like ourselves, that trophies can be won. It wasnt impossible that we could finish 7th, but i would be good money we wont. Birmingham beating Arsenal was fucking magnificant. *least convincing nodding of head since records began*

No doubt we will hear some "the balance of power in the city is shifting" style bullshit some time soon, but anyone with even a decent section of a brain cell will see through that nonsense. I have to say, I quite like McLeish, so I'm less bothered at this silverware. Had they won it under Beelzebub (as we know him, Trevor Francis as others do) then I would have been far more upset.

That's assuming the fucking headcase ever manages to retrieve himself from the catatonic state he's doubtless got himself into at being more than 10 miles away from Man City.

Defensive? Nah. My avatar has been a black square for this season so far to reflect my increasing doom with the way things are going. I've snapped out of it now, mind, so it's back to the big dogs. Hehe, just thought it was reprisal for your lesser fellow citizens giving you s*** because of the cup they just won. Ah, I get you. Nah. To be honest, it has been fine. I've encountered a couple of them today (I work in the centre of Birmingham, you need to go that close to the epicentre to have any chance of finding them) and was entirely magnanimous about it. They deserved to win. Fair play to them. We've won the league cup four times in my life time, and I'm young enough to have all my own teeth, I can put up with that. If they'd won the FA Cup, I'd probably have committed suicide by now, though. Our FA Cup avoidance for so long makes me very, very sad indeed.

I can honestly say that the title race holds about as much interest or relevance for me as, say, a general election in New Zealand. That's to say, not a lot.

Ferguson Aha, saw it reported as Bowyer yesterday. Would suit him tbf. To be honest, I'm still blaming Bowyer, the horrible little shit head

Too right it would. Could happen, I think they'll get a good burnout at the end of the season. Nah, they're too decent defensively. Unfortunately.

Too right it would.
