I simply refuse to bet on yous, had some funny results this year. Edit: Yes, I know, I should refuse to bet on anyone because I'm shit at it, hahaha, funny.

Damnit, keep forgetting the deadlines. My mate really is something else - we've got a league between us going for a gentleman's £10. His strategy to overhaul the 115 point difference is to get the same players as me. Nice.

Ferguson must be pissing himself. Well he probably is anyway, but also pissing himself laughing at how easily Man Utd are going to win the title without playing that well quite often.

Wow.

Again, depends if we're talking about how they're playing in relation to their relative ability, or just generally who is incompetent.

Dunno if you can get odds but I think Fulham will be a good shout to go down next year. I think they'll finish around 14th this year, some of their good players will leave and they'll fall next season.

Delap.

It's a bit strange; I think they're title contenders as in they'll not be far off in the end however I simply can't see them winning it.

Did Motson just describe Cole's finishing as "rampant"?

Well, yes, certain strikers are good enough to consciously get it through the keeper but a lot of the time it's just a poor finish that was quite fortunate to find its way through.

Oh, Dickson Etuhu.

Motson seemed very shocked to see Johnson there.

Aaron Hughes with his first goal for over 6 years. Can we buy him?

Very good.

This isn't because it was Gareth Barry, honest, but: When a one-on-one is finished through a goalie's legs or under the keeper, and is then described as a great finish. No it wasn't. It was absolutely rubbish and can count yourself very fortunate such a shite finish somehow found its way into the net.

Not like a reporter to suck up to Redknapp, like.

Gomes never ceases to amuse.

Lovely counter attack, that.

:lol:

Sign of a good team, apparently.

Lee Dixon makes Mark Lawrenson sound like a hard-hitting, decisive pundit who speaks his mind.

Definitely appeared a very harsh scoreline but that certainly can't be used to ignore 2 horrendous pieces of, well, defending I suppose. On the plus side, that performance will surely give you some confidence?

Damn fucking right you're a threat to this Premiership, Gareth.

Despite any complaints, I think Routledge indeed needs to be given more time. I agree that he could become a decent player at this level. Tiote sometimes is left with a third of the pitch to defend. He's a fantastic talent, but he isn't 3 players. An I honestly think having Captain Hindsight behind him today didn't do him any favors. Oh, he's a good player and an absolute bargain, don't get me wrong. A bit more experience in this league and he could become a very good player.

When I've seen Routledge, I've seen a player with pace who could be a solid PL player however I haven't seen it consistently from him in this league. He's worthy of a regular slot on the right wing to see how it goes. re: Tiote, he seems to enjoy over-complicating things at times, e.g. endlessly turning, and while it may look great when it comes off, it's risky. I'm not surprised to see he's made 2 howlers (today and Blackburn, iirc).
