I think due to the bizarre nature of the table, everyone is hoping for an Arsenal win on Tuesday.

We’ll be toothless with Best up front unless the Spurs defence play as badly as the West Ham defence. Well Dawson will be playing. Best should be rubbing his hands. Obafemi Best.

Anyone get that Skybet offer? Place a £5 bet then get £10 free to bet on a single. Anyway, fiver on: Man Utd -1 Arsenal -1 Huddersfield Millwall/draw £10 on Man Utd And also a surefire £100,000 will be won on the Super 6: Arsenal 2-0 Wigan Blackpool 2-2 Sunderland Everton 2-1 West Ham Fulham 1-1 Stoke Man Utd 3-1 Birmingham Newcastle 1-2 Tottenham

Forgive me if I've missed something, but this seems another solid move from Pardew; that is, quite definitely stating Carroll is not for sale. I know that's nothing outstanding to do as a manager but he definitely seems to have his head firmly screwed on in terms of this role.

Seriously, what the hell is Shola doing?

Just seen Triple H in Liquid.

Yorkie was probably there in the corner.[/jokeimayhaverecalledincorrectly]

Are we talking nailed on as in Alan Pardew's extra-curricular activity, or nailed on as in bullshit?

Repeating what I said from earlier in the week - if Carroll's out, I can't see you winning so I'm going with 1-2. Whether it's deserved or not I don't know, could well see something similar to Man City perhaps? Spurs won't keep a clean sheet though so you do have some hope.

He's gone back offshore.

Funny you mention that. I feel people need to insinuate this more.

They are investigating the mackems, that doesn't mean that they will do anything. Oh, I have no qualms in the FA "investigating" things. In fact, in terms of making out like they're doing something, they're rather adept.

Good one.

I'm sorry, what's your prediction?

Shola is Santino Marella.

Alan Smith would be Randy Orton. I hear voices in my head I get booked twice I earn a red I'm off the pitch...

I think Tiote would be arrogant. He'd scare some competitors into willingly going over the top rope but I think the brute force of Carroll or Barton might give them the edge.

Vince McMahon. :lol: It does pose the question, if all of your team were put into a Royle Rumble, who would win? I realise a lot comes down to what position they come in (have to be rational, here) but who do you reckon would come up trumps?

Me: you do realise you're not getting £24m? £5-6m, i.e. your first payment from Villa, is going straight to Spurs. 6m of the 'whole' fee is add-ons, some of which you may well not see. It's clear Bent just wanted to leave and for Bruce to be complaining about it is stupidly hypocritical on numerous levels. It's also obvious you're just annoyed because your darling Darren has said he'd rather be at a team who are much further down the table. Mackem: yeah but i dunno just dont like villa, angry at bent but at least we got 24m.

Mike Ashley, Vince McMahon and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell match.

Souness? No, tomato.

Is he? short answer no Source? jdckelly, obviously. Otherwise, this forum.

Stoke intent on collecting so-so strikers. Tbf, they'll at least have some choice: Jones, Carew, Tuncay and Jerome is a decent if not spectacular strikeforce.

He's very good by SPL standards, I agree.

I'm no expert at foreign languages but aye, I assumed that.
