Neil

I appreciate the 80s similarity but.... not sure about it.

Not great but not as bad as our away one/3rd one/whatever the f*** its supposed to be.

He was shit for both teams. The pen was a pen to be truthful but not a nailed-on one. I think Wellbeck could have kept on his feet if he had any intentions to score and not win a penalty. His continuous blowing up of Fellaini was beyond a joke. ZOMG YOU USED YOUR STRENGTH!!!!! Thought we were never gonna get past Vidic.

Jagielka slotted it into the net, never looked in doubt, never broke a sweat And i jizzed, in, my pants. Howard :smitten: Jagielka :smitten: Baines :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: Everyone!

Foster is a lucky boy.

Macheda does genuinely look like he's going to become a cracking player.

"So if Barca came along, what would you say?" "I'd talk to the gaffer" "What if Liverpool came along?" "No. 100% no. It goes against everything I stand for." "But it's just a club?" "No. It's more than that." Cahill :smitten:

Let's not forget Mr Riley's position as referee. Sigh.

SAF clearly prioritising the CL and PL. Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Lescott, Jagielka, Baines, Neville, Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini, Cahill, Saha Man Utd: Foster, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio, Gibson, Anderson, Park, Welbeck, Tevez, Macheda Despite Man Utd's weakened team, I have an awful feeling Rio and Vidic will have a strong, solid game, and that Tevez and Park's sheer industry (and canny bit of quality) will see them through. Hope I'm proved wrong.

2-0. Onuoha.

And all of a sudden, the game's changed.

I don't know why people don't seem to rate Huddlestone. Given a solid run in the side he can be one of the best English central midfielders in the future.

Considering the total lack of service he's had...

28 minutes until a mention of whether Spurs can challenge the top 4 next season.

It was probably a Butt shot.

Ronaldo and Rooney haven't travelled, get in.

But Martins isn't on the pitch Fair play to Shearer for giving Carroll a chance from the start.

The reason you would go down would be that you have less points than everyone else. The points dropped at home to Stoke are exactly the same as any other dropped points.

I think that they obviously still do want it, but you must have noticed the same as I have just how toned down everyone tries to be in football. Nobody wants to put their neck on the line and make a statement saying 'We WILL do this' incase it backfires. Maybe it eases the stress on the players as well? It could be more damaging to aim for europe and miss rather than go for a strong league finish and just fall short. It's all bollocks anyway, the UEFA allocations for europe this season seem a bit all over the shop. 'Europa' my arse. Perhaps there is a bit of the whole "not wanting to be arrogant" feeling, but there's a difference between that, and optimism. No-one afaik has even said "we're gonna go for it", or least inferred that Europe is a target. It seems strange.

Haha good stuff Towelie Also re: Uefa cup places - why do teams start the season looking to finish in the top 6/7.... and then at the end of the season when there's still a UEFA Cup spot up for grabs, why does the mentality turn into "well we'd like to end the season strongly, it would be nice to get that spot"? I mean ffs, there's a route into Europe in front of them and no-one seemingly wants it.

I think although most of your games are (as they seemingly have been for the last zillion games) must-win, IMO it is the Pompey game above all others that will be the most decisive. A win there will not only be worth 3 points but offer real belief that you can get out of the situation, and furthermore get as many points as possible from the other 2 home games. I can also see you getting something from Villa.

Hull are dead certs? Hmmm.

yes they did http://g.imagehost.org/0981/villa.jpg ?? The ref thought the original kits clashed, so had to change.

Robin Hood tbh Nixon take note.
