Italian teams + oppo teams with pace = massive problems. Wilkins made a good point - Lennon didn't give the defender the chance to hack him down by beating him from distance. Great play. I'm not watching it but I'm not suprised, Milans FB's are shit. Still thought they'd win tonight though, Redknapp is going to be so fucking smug it'll hurt me. It was Yepes fwiw but aye. In fairness to Spurs they've looked fairly confident and dare I say, a mature European side.

Sort of shows how bad the Italian league is if this lot are top. Declined the safety wink.

3-1 Milan I reckon.

I suppose it was an attritional game and a good result for Man City. Stoke do that and it's bedlam.

Cameron Jerome may return.

I don't think I'll have ever get bored of his goal for Barca when he skins most of the opposition team (Compostela?) and Bobby was so happy about it.

Just from a very quick think, something very similar to this. Would have Schmichael in goal. Let's not forget about Claude since he is now the official namebearer of the Makelele Position TRADEMARK!

Annoyed I wasn't born 5 years earlier so I could have appreciated him more in his prime of the mid-late 90s. What a player, but he could have made even more of a mark.

I think they'll actually take this title. I can't see OM or the others putting together enough of a run. Just a completely awful Ligue 1 season, imo. Everyone is so average and/or under performing. Gignac is finally looking good, though. So, this is nice.

As mentioned above, the way any bad tackle from Scholes, and that's basically any tackle he attempts, is seemingly laughed off by commentators. His superb footballing talent somehow means it doesn't matter if he just takes someone out. Ryan Giggs being described as 'timeless'. Yellow cards for taking your shirt off. Pathetic.

He was going to get booked whether you waved an imaginary card like an absolute twat or not, Marcelo. Oh, Jose did it as well.

Espanyol will no doubt get someone sent off to even it up. Decent match atm.

Well that was a fucking shameful performance. At least the curry's here.

What do you make of this game mate? It's been fucking atrocious our end, one of the worst performances I can remember in the past few years. You've been alright but nowt special, which is all the more worrying.

He is. But the media won't report that and will focus on "the great job Moyes has done at Goodison Park". He seems, from the outside looking in to have a great relationship with Kenwright, is there any real chance of him being sacked? Not really, no. He'll walk eventually.

Is Anichebe being serious?

Bolton have been average here but they haven't needed to be any better.

Painfully predictable changes, though I'm shocked he's done it before the 77th minute mark.

Same. He's currently lecturing Holden to "man up".

That's yet another dive from Sturridge. Horrible.

Fwiw, I don't have a fucking clue what Anichebe has done to justify being picked ahead of Beckford. Shite first half, Bolton have hardly played well but are ahead thanks to a highly fortunate goal.

Bilyaletdinov.

And even worse, Mark Bright is the co-commentator. Fuck's sake.
