Lots of football.

Proper teams to bet on. Waiting on a Guatemalan team later for £80.

Meant the 2nd half. Unlucky how they weren't ahead in the 1st half but after that their responses to the goals were fairly pitiful. Certainly not that of a side who are going for the top 4.

Was watching his post-match interview and he seemed to be saying they played well in the 2nd half. Apart from the goal which was given to them on a plate, did they actually have any sort of actual chance? Can't remember Krul having anything else to do, at all.

Fwiw think this is pretty much bang on, maybe a 7 for Ba for the excellent goal. Thought Cisse looked way off the pace (Ramadan?) and the central midfielders likewise. Neither team played particularly well but you won due to 2 moments of incisiveness - Ba's clinical finish and Ben Arfa's dart through the gap - and that's all that matters. AVB is deluding himself if he genuinely thought Spurs played well in the 2nd half, they were awful. Credit needs to go to a Coloccini-deprived defence as well. Taylor probably deserves a 10 for his crafty backpass to Krul.

Hahahaha, wankers.

Mirallas medical over the weekend.

I think we've had a good window so far, especially if we get Mirallas in. Of course, transfers are irrelevant when you start every year like we do. With all due respect, I don't particularly see you as our rivals. One of those awkward Giggs where I've already made the joke a few hours ago but I don't think many have seen it so I'll let you have that one. I don't particularly see you as a forum rival.

Song isn't what Barca need either, unless they're planning to convert him or Busquets to centre back. What Barca need is irrelevant. Arsenal are going to be weakened further after losing their captain who carried them last year.

Arsenal don't need Sahin anyway, let alone him not being a replacement for Song.

Ashley has instilled the mentality into us that resale value is the only thing that matters. Now you're actually spending money on players you too shall soon have to factor this in, Neil. I didn't miss this you little shit.

Sneaky, Semtex.

Where has this obsession over resale value come from? He's just turned 29, he's not 32.

Guess who? A substance abuser?

Defoe definitely offers more than Bent in a general footballing sense.

Think Carrick's a good player. Seemed to suffer from a total lack of confidence a couple of years ago but he's got the quality to dictate the tempo of games. Very comfortable on the ball, perhaps needs to improve his decision-making. Plus, Ferguson saying he thinks Carrick will be key for them this season speaks a bit.

Hope we lose Adrian in Moldova.

You'll appreciate that for some reason, your post reminded me of:

Vintage ITV.

Officially 11pm on the 31st, but certain clubs can announce it on their club's main forum up until midnight on the 3rd.

His goal and the chance he missed with his left foot neatly summed up Defoe in 5 minutes. On his day, clinical, but obviously has his flaws. Still, if he's first choice for Spurs this year I'd definitely fancy him to get 20 goals.

I'm shedding tears personally.
