Ipswich leading Palace and the Mackems leading Villa. Good start for me.

You'll have a job on, Reading are playing Swansea today. I have Norwich nontheless. Who are they playing? And I've just noticed the mackems are at home, so that 5 away wins thing is bollocks.

Please tell me you didn't bet For the mackems? Part of an accumulator.

Butt is awful.

mackems 1 up. looking good for my bet.

off the line. we have a free kick on the edge of the box.

another corner kick.

Guthrie's corner... comes to nothing.

Corner.

Chris Brunt, the most one footed player in the land as well.

WBA ahead.

Their HT announcer is Adam Hosker, formerly of Apprentice fame.

Steve Bennett replaced by........... Rob Styles.

Kinnear explains all: "Well, to say with the Gerrard transfer... err Geremi transfer I should say"

Interesting. Kinnear saying on his BBC Radio Newcastle interview that as well as Geremi, another player could be leaving in a straight swap for another player.

Looking at Allardyce's fat head has that effect on quite a few people tbh.

Reading vs Norwich Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Hull vs Arsenal Aston Villa vs Sunderland Manchester City vs Wigan Fiver pays £505. Five away wins please (six with Newcastle!) - all the fives.

Keith Andrews btw. He is shit.

Did Simon Pryde just say "Jonas Gutierrez won't get his gay?"

Tozer. No, it was Kadar. Kadar's deal was waiting to be rubber-stamped before Sam was fired and then Keegan basically just gave it the thumbs up when he arrived.

I thought that. "This guy doesn't even know if he's going to be here next month..." Of course he fucking does, you big nosed twat.

If Jonas doesn't start then Kinnear deserves a punch in the cunt.

You sound shocked. Phil Thompson on Soccer Saturday now saying how Allardyce said our players weren't fit enough when he arrived. Load of shit. Keegan said the same when he arrived, that Allardyce's training didn't involve enough physical fitness building.

76 minutes

Sorry gimp.
