Problem Jose?

How the hell was that not an obvious goalscoring opportunity?

You couldn't bloody write this.

So, I was saying. :lol:

There's trying to prove who's boss, then there's stupidity playing politics with Casillas. 1-0 Real already. Real Madrid will be allright today, Real Sociedad are the kind of open team they excel at punishing. Oh, yeah, it shouldn't impact the result today. But what is he actually achieving with this? Because I can't see how it's really going to benefit them.

Different interpretations mate.

No, it wouldn't.

Macclesfield manager on SSN desperately trying to hide his disappointment at getting Wigan or Bournemouth.

Meh, could've been better but could've been worse. Would be very confident of getting past Bolton or Sunderland, something wrong if we don't get at least a replay. Anyway, back to reality, best of luck to Cheltenham at the Stadium of Light.

Never saw this coming at half time, fantastic finish.

The defending.

Sturridge starts for Liverpool.

Nice to Michu!

Martin Allen completely backtracking on SSN. "That's a stonewall penalty, how has he not given it? Unbelievable." ...... "Referees have a tough job." No, Martin, you're just a blind twat.

Portsmouth's run was great in the sense of it being someone different winning it. But if you look a bit more closely, the stars damn sure aligned for them. They had one obvious stand out result - beating Man Utd so fair play there (well, after Man Utd's goalie had got sent off). But otherwise, they didn't play a single Premier League team. Their wins were 1-0, 2-1, 1-0 (a 90th minute own goal), 1-0, 1-0, 1-0. Still a great achievement but it was hardly like they were battling through hard tie after hard tie. Just a solid, well-drilled team with a couple of stand-out attacking players, a very kind draw, and bingo.

You'd think they would improve by now but nope, ITV are still absolutely awful with football coverage. Still.

Seems legit.

I can't say I know that much about them but I was under the impression they're one of those very decent sides (quarter finals last year?) who, while you hardly think "shit they're unbeatable", you'll have to play very well against to beat. Think they've progressed a lot since McFadden and Anichebe terrorised them a few years ago. South Americans and all that.

We're wanting to know all the New Years celebrations news featuring Mrs Bimpy.

Erm, yes, it's bad for the Malaga DNB bet. But you have over 1.5 goals in the other, and a goal sort of helps that, no? Edit: providing Lazio-Cagliari gets over 1.5, but there's over a half to go in that.

Not his biggest fan, but that'd be hilarious/a great match Not beyonds the realms of possibility either IMO. Hmm. Tough one to call. Very hard to call, but despite QPR's win at Chelsea, I just think Spurs have a fuckload of momentum behind them currently. Unfortunately.

You need over 1.5 goals, and Deportivo scoring is bad?
