I misread "pens" there. You what? Sneaky, Mike. Sneaky.

I misread "pens" there.

Man City ahead.

Villa equalise.

West Ham 0-1 Blackburn. Doomed.

Vieira misses an absolute sitter.

Absolutely ridiculous control from Silva, goes close.

Villa 0-1 Wigan.

Let's see how Hibbert copes with Silva.

Making City look like Barca in comparison tbh. They have Silva, Milner and Dzeko playing in front of de jong, Toure and Vieira Rodwell, Arteta and Osman will play more advanced, but why the fuck Anichebe's playing I don't know.

Bolton -1 Bilbao £10 Bolton -2 Newcastle -1 Tranmere -1 £1 Bolton to win by a single goal, then.

Marvin Martin, class.

Agree on both counts x1000. Keown in South Africa complaining while commentating on a match about how they had to get up early and work for long hours. What a tragic life it is, watching live World Cup football all day and being paid to do so and offer zero incisive analysis.

Leeds ahead.

Pilko if you actually put Bolton -1 on at 11/8, you've been absolutely mugged. 15/8 at bet365 and I'd dare say some places will push to 2/1.

Yet another example of what a bad ref Clattenburg is.

11/8, you sure?

Decent start.

"It's going to take something special to beat Richard Wright today..." Although this is the goalkeeper who, upon recovering from falling out of his attic, injured himself at Chelsea by falling over a sign in the penalty area saying "Do not warm up in the penalty area."

Shola's ridiculously offside goal from around 2005ish. He almost missed as well.

There was a 3-1 win for us with Campbell in the 1st minute, think that was the year before. But the years that followed were pretty barren trips.

That'll be Shearer's volley. Although what stays with me from that match was Bellamy's fluke goal for the winner, didn't it take 2 massive deflections? May have completely exaggerated that mind/made it up.

SJP was an absolute bastard to visit around those years. Leaked a fair few goals, with the 6-2 being quite the thumping. A 4-2 and a 4-1 mixed in there as well iirc. This year's victory was the first since big Kev Campbell got us a win in.... 2000 I think?

"I'll have another crack"

If at first you don't succeed.
