Smith looked areet in the Championship for a few games and did play a part, but when he was dropped and we went with Nolan and Guthrie in the centre of the park we looked about a million times better and started to totally take the piss out of teams at home, instead of edging it by one goal. He's an absolutely shambolic footballer and I can count the number of useful games he's had in our shirt probably on one hand. Arsenal at home under Fat Head, Villa at home under Hughton, a couple in the Championship. Utter shite.

I honestly think Chelsea will be fucking shattered from that semi-final, and if QPR can manage to not concede in the first 15-20 they might be in for a frustrating afternoon. Plus, it's a London derby, form goes out the window etc apparently.

Any radio coverage of this game outside Radio Newcastle? And whatever station Wigan have, obviously.

FYP.

Just downloaded the Excel spreadsheet, going to take some getting used to but looks very interesting.

excellent.

I don't think Pardew would want to go to Spurs (his recent comments about the grass being greener etc), and plus, I think Spurs would go for a bigger name candidate than him anyway.

Cisse playing against Gary Caldwell simply has to end in annihilation.

Couldn't you just upload it to megaupload or similar and PM it to folk who want it? I'll have it, please.

From a Facebook page discussion about Manager of the season: 'Martin O Neill, he turned a bunch of overpaid primadonnas who couldn't string two passes together under the reign of Steve Bruce, into a team that's even worse, there's not many managers with the experience and know how who can do that'

Fantastic, please do!

I've designed a spreadsheet which analyses the long range and short range form of two teams, using an algorithm to generate a win probability. It then compares the results to the bookies odds to generate a bet value co-efficient, enabling me to select the the best value from a range of potential bets. It doesn't work, obviously, but it looks f**king great. Can you make this available for download, please?

Went in play on Palermo/Parma and Siena/Bologna draws to try and salvage summat

I've still never found out why O'Neill wears those '31' coats and jumpers.

Udinese throw away their 1-0 lead to trail 1-2 after half an hour. Fan-fucking-tastic!

..but Napoli and Udinese have scored early have those three and AC Milan. I would assume these are the games that were postponed when the Italian footballer who's name escapes me died.

Fantastic, Roma have conceded at home within 2 minutes. Pricks.

I wouldn't mind a toe job, like.

Threw away a lot of money on the Barca game but clawed some of it back on Bolton.

I'm really confident Bolton will get something from the game tonight.

Sanchez to score in a Barca win was 13/8 which I passed up but thought was fairly reasonable.

No, that's quite right, I generally bet fairly low. However, I've had a fair few wins the last few weeks and I fancy a walk on the wild side. edit: rest assured, should it come off I'll probably withdraw £35-£40 of the £44 I'll win

£3 on Busquets first card @ 12/1 £22 on Barca to win to nil @ evens £1 on Sanchez FG 2-0 @ 32/1
