The thought of Stoke in Europe.

Why is it biased? I think they play s***, dirty football, hence would rather someone else won. You 'think', but they weren't dirty nor was the football 'shit'. To use your words, I guess we have different views on what constitutes good/shit football.

Oh right. Well yeah, it was insanely ambitious.

Not quite sure what I'd prefer. The thought of Stoke in the FA Cup final is bizarrely depressing, yet I don't want Man City or Man Utd to win it. Guess it's Bolton.

Which one?

Montella looks so calm/stoned.

Bosh. 2-0.

Ledesma off.

PELANTY!

This is a truly incompetent refereeing performance.

Why would he Radu that?

Would still prefer Sampdoria to score and get a draw like but it's looking very, very unlikely. Maccarone has pretty much given up.

Quality wise it's been poor and the officiating has been abysmal, but it's been a fairly entertaining game.

Samp are near enough in a relegation dogfight now. Getting beat 1-0 at Catania currently, who will overtake them I believe.

Aye.

Stuck a mighty £4 on Catania a few minutes ago as it was inevitable Samp weren't going to hold on. Keeps me even/very slightly up.

Just a bit of a naughty stamp on Totti.

He's decent at carrying Roma though. 1-0.

Bosh. 2-1.

They're a bit good.

Pelanty 15 seconds into the 2nd half for Stoke. Total dive.

So, have you got Sevilla and Villarreal as your next 2 away games VI, before the big one? I suppose if you can keep a gap of 6 points between you and Real before then, then you have to be confident of winning the league? Even losing at the Bernbeau means Real would be more than a win away from you.

Which is the shame here. If scores stay the same they're going to go 3rd, albeit perhaps temporariily. However, it's almost inevitable Sanchez will be off.

Sadly, I'm highly doubtful Samp will hold on to get something. Otherwise, it's going alright.
