Astonishing stuff from Redknapp. The very fact he's saying it shows he knows no-one will say anything. Needs to be taken down a peg or 2 but nowt will be done about it.

That said, Minto is making Espanyol sound like a regional rabble of semi-professionals. "Who would have ever seen this coming?" Sort of ignoring Barca's mediocrity away from home; phenomenal team or not. Barca were lacking urgency for much of that and got punished, much like they've been on numerous occasions this year.

I think getting a late equalising goal against your fierce rivals who happen to have one of the greatest collection of players ever is worthy of a little celebration.

Very good game that, fully deserved point for Espanyol. Jose must be laughing his tits off.

Interesting.

Wahey! 1-1. Fully deserved.

Espanyol have been excellent so far.

Hope Espanyol score, this has the makings of an outstanding game.

As mentioned in the other thread, had some money on Fabregas FGS. Good day so far. Also got a small stake (and I'm talking small as in normal small, not David28 "I'll just stick 50 euros on this" small ) on Palermo to win 2-1, but that's not looking likely at all. Edit: "Don't think Napoli will win. Palermo are good at home and Napoli haven't been too consistent this season." They're 3 up. Nice one Neil.

Not sure what's going on. Change of luck this year so far.

Bollocks. Have money on Fabregas FGS.

Howay man. I see Barca are at full strength.

"Enough of this, time for Lionel."

Pardon?

Hope Messi does a Ben Arfa.

:lol: Not sure why I find that picture so funny. It just is.

Gah, Leeds, Boro or West Ham coming up would make me deeply unhappy. Don't want Boro up, as much I reject the idea that our games with them are derbies I just hate their fans. They are always causing trouble when we play them and to be honest I'm sick of kids getting bricks thrown at them down there and our seats being ripped out and thrown at us at SJP. Leeds is still a pretty big club, and I'd rather them back up then a team like fucking Wigan or whatever else is in the Championship. Imagine Barnsley in the Premiership. Try 13 years ago.

Even by Mark Bright's standards it was woeful.

The key thing is most of their top players are out. SWP is probably the best player they have left and so far he hasn't set the world alight at QPR. Not least because the box of matches are on the top shelf at home.

I don't trust us to beat anyone at the moment. Shrewsbury, Oldham, Tranmere, Bradford just 4 teams who've beaten us in the not so distant past in the FA Cup.

Further class will be evident from the best fans in the world as they boo a player who was racially abused.

Get in.

I'm personally looking forward to Kenny's next Powerpoint presentation or whatever ludicrous thing he did last time.

You forgot cretinous city. I think you'll agree there isn't a single good thing about the city aside from the music. Could be better. First time I went (2-1 win vs Coventry, FA up 5th round IIRC), when walking back from the stadium, I saw 3 fights, all separate from each other.

Cretinous fans, cretinous players, cretinous manager, cretinous club.
