None taken, mate.

No, I can't be arsed. I'll only end up arguing and getting irate and making a show of myself, and I don't want to appear ungracious. I'll settle for slowly shaking my head whilst looking at the laptop, and muttering about 1992.

Liverpool it will be. That's depressing, but it also tells a more significant story about the 'best league in the world'

*deleted* I can't be arsed, but you can imagine what was here before I deleted it.

Something wholesome, probably. Fruit, or muesli. Or running. *shrug*

To be honest, I'd imagine Sunderland and Donetsk are pretty much interchangeable.

Wenger's more of a compulsive whinger, Benitez is just plain petty. The best thing with Benitez is when he tries to play mind games with other managers, and gets it totally, totally wrong and ends up looking a tit.

Oh well. Still, it was a pleasant day out, though. For 1 Squillion Pounds, thought, they could have put a decent number of bogs in.

Piss off. If it makes you feel better, I'm not massively excited. Why? I've convinced myself beyond belief that we're going to lose, so I am fully expecting to lose. I've simultaneously convinced myself that we're going to reach the FA Cup final, so that will be a happy consolation. I am fully aware of the flaws in this plan. Best to keep your expectations low, in my experience. Oh, I am, believe me. We're drinking in Harrow on the Hill (will turn out to be a shit hole, prob a Wetherspoons or something grim), we're getting the Tube to Wembley (will definitely be closed for the day), we've got category 2 seats (we won't see a fucking thing), it will be an embarassing defeat (no gloating towards the bluenoses on Monday). And we'll break down on the M40

I want to stay up for the Football League program now, but I've got to get up early in the morning (to set off for somewhere with a big arch over it, and no, not McDonalds). I love that program. I can't explain why, I just think it is a case of perfect scheduling and it seems to last FOREVER.

Ricardo "Roacher" Fucking hell, Motson, retire.

To be fair to him he'll have been upset for the kid as he works with him every day, I can understand where he's coming from even if I think the tackle wasn't that bad. I take your point, but it's not the first time he's reacted like that. He could do with being a little more circumspect about these things.

It looked from that pic like the damage was done by Ramsay getting is studs stuck and twisting his leg, any contact in a situation like that will result in bad things.

The thing about Wenger is that he makes it really, really hard to like Arsenal, who should be the side all neutrals like.

Wenger is such a graceless cunt.

The actual challenge looked pretty innocuous to me.

Yeah I would too! My 4 for World Cup is... Rooney Defoe Crouch Agbonlahor and Bent if we want 5 or if one of those gets injured. I honestly don't think I'd put Agbonlahor in the squad, *but* his pace is quite unbelievable, as is the workrate with it, and I can see situations where being able to bring on a player like him would be more beneficial than just having more of the same on the bench. Walcott has pace as well, he just scores a lot less.

Having just seen that montage of Terry fuck ups in recent games on MOTD, I think we should withdraw him from the squad too.

Us It will be Liverpool, though, infuriatingly.

The problem you will have is that, having promoted you, you can't really jettison Hughton. You just have to trust him not to cunt it up and get you down the wrong end of the table again.

David O'Leary? "Look here, I have a small mirror to look at Dave O'Leary's pug nosed cunt of a face with"

Good to see Fulham doing well, that's an awesome result against a team like Shaktar. Excellent work, Hodgson. Fulham are a decent club with a lovely little ground and nice fans, I would love to see them win the Europa League.
