Why would you play Gosling just behind Ba?

Definitely a draw. That said, I thought QPR-Bolton would be a draw.

sigh What? As I said, if it was a player from the other team people would have gone off it. Sick of him posturing as a moral benchmark on Twitter when he dives and stubs out cigars in peoples eyes. I entirely agree with you, was wonder what afar was sighing about. There's this "Barton gets overly victimised" mentality, but it appears to be going to the other extreme of "look at them picking on Barton". He acted like a grade A t*** today and should deservedly be criticised for it. How about Gervinho or Song, how did they act, why arn't you talking about them ? They were angels. Don't use such idiotic reasoning, man. Why on earth would I be excusing how they acted? It doesn't mean Barton didn't act like a bellend himself. Instead of "OMG LOOK AT BARTON BEING CRITICISED THE PRESS HATE HIM"... maybe he's being criticised because he, er, was an idiot today? Just a thought. Nothing idiotic at all, just be fair with your critcism, all Joey did was pull up a cheater from the ground, he did it a little overly aggressive and deserved a yellow, but he had just been cowardly stamped on by a player that wasn't punished and saw a fellow player trying to cheat his team out of a well deserved point. But lets just talk about Joey and not those two other guys who commited far worse crimes today than our number 7. Song was the worst of the lot, I thought that would blatantly go without saying? Minimum 3 match ban.

Shut up Clem.

Football - Dr Who trailer - more football Pleasing. Although the sight of Maneeeeeeeeeeesh and Clem will dampen this content moment.

A stunning 9 so far. Although 6 to play. Relying heavily on Hart, Kompany and Silva © doing the business on Monday. Probably should've given more thought to this team. Thought Wheater would've played.

That's Riise.

I do enjoy an excessively emphatic finish.

John Ruddy. class

.....der der der der, der der der.

That music. Fuck off you waste of Premier League space.

Wigan stealing Birmingham's kit and painting it a slightly lighter blue, I see.

What happened to Blackburn's money? I thought they had... well... money?

That's a great goal that.

I thought that. Some of them were really good interceptions as well. That was one of the most noticeable traits to today's game. A series of sharp interceptions from a variety of your players; wasn't just like one person was doing all the work. All in all I think you were fairly solid defensively.

Has there been such a contrast between the quality of a player and the ineptitude of his punditry?

Mandatory Makelele comparison.

In fairness, at least he's actually providing an opinion instead of wishy-washy shite which I normally associate him with.

Looking back at it, I'm going to agree with you here.

Needs to fit a pre-determined rhetoric. In this case it was Arsenal's possession football being frustrated by a stubborn Newcastle team in a game dominated by a brawl, and a stamp.

Was it early last season or the season before when they were getting a big decision or a big slice of luck go their way every other game? Really became impossible to ignore the consistency of it. Bruce would bemoan his team's luck, blissfully unaware of the tonnes of the stuff his team were getting.
