I think it's just the concept of having your overall total as below 0. "I'm on 45" "I'm on 37" "I'm on 27 but I have 4 players playing tonight." "Yeah? Well I'm on -8."

Our first 4 games are very winnable, 3 of them at home. Then I realised it's August, so watch us make an absolute mess of it.

I was just wondering if it was only for users who actually had trouble on saturday, because I got on with no problems at all. It'll be for everyone.

My guess is Cahill behind Saha, aye. Beckford by himself it is.

-8 points, man. I'm still laughing at that, I'm not entirely sure why.

(Sorry, I had to.)

I dunno, it doesn't make it very clear does it?

Think I might gan to town on the transfers like.

Well, they cocked up big time but good to see it looks like they've sorted it out well.

He strikes me as a bit of a character. Am I right in thinking he's improved his work ethic over the years, Gash? i.e. becoming something of a fans' favourite?

Thoughts on tonight and the season ahead mate? Is there a confident expectation you'll stay up among your fans, or do you reckon you're here for the ride?

Don't make me ruin everyone's fun.

Yeah I agree, he's shit.

What are your thoughts on Van Persie? Pretty crap would you not agree?

"And another thing!"

So I assume the police wanted an earlier kick off, fair enough. But not to have this televised is bizarre. Surely they could've televised Arsenal vs. Liverpool at some other point during the weekend?

Oh, most people over here don't buy it, Cesc even admitted he knows a lot of the Barça fans haven't forgiven him leaving. He's just coming because we are top of the food chain now, in the same way he left because back then we were s***, and he's leaving Arsenal because they're s***. But he's a great player, so I'll take him just for that. ... We're not s***... No, you aren't in a general sense, but in the "big club" sense. I bet that post was made after he thought "Hahahahahahaahahahahahaha" was inappropriate.

I'm not pushing for sending players off for what was in all honesty nothing, but if we go by the rules...

This is the rule: Andy Gray et al started saying 'raise your hands and your off' but it isn't actually the rule. Referees consistently interpret it that way though. I doubt its worth an appeal but doubt its frivolous either So if violent conduct = red, it begs the question as to why Barton wasn't sent off. I don't agree, fwiw, that either player did anything particularly nasty - it wasn't like Song's. But using this definition, if one goes, surely the other has to?

You're regressing.

Hahaha. Smooth.

What, is Dave going to demand he drops the price to £7m?

Fuck yous and your respectable totals. I don't think I've got 30 yet.

Bloody foreigners!
