How dare they use their money in order to progress! I'm bitterly jealous of their riches, of course, but I don't have a problem with what they're doing really. How the fuck else are you supposed to get places in today's game? Money talks.

Perhaps the wrong thread but lump everything you own on us finishing above Villa. I really can't be arsed to go into detail about that match. On the small plus side, at least Spurs lost, City looked shit and Liverpool not much better against West Brom at home. Also, it's good that we're starting to be recognised more for our how much our football is developing under Moyes. Blue tinted glasses but I'd say we play some of the best in the league and for that, let alone his miracles in the transfer market, I'm proud as punch with Moyes.

Did you watch the 1st half?

City are poor away from home, shock horror.

Yaya Toure easily the best player on the pitch in the first half.

Right oh.

stelling has the biggest ego and opinion of himself out of the lot of them, he's a monkey hanging moron trying too hard to be funny all the time Are you just a very angry man?

couple of winnable home games for them coming up in the form of villa west ham and blackburn, their home form will keep them out of any major trouble Agreed. Hope it doesn't, like.

You've closed the gap significantly in this transfer window. It'll be very close but as I said in the other thread, get Keane and I reckon you'll finish above them.

MOTD2 is on tonight, and will be on iPlayer from Tuesday I believe. MOTD2 will also be streamed online from the BBC site, I think.

Blackburn won't have any relegation troubles this year. They've looked decent enough (ok, not literally) in their first 3 games IMO.

Get Keane and I'd put a canny sum on you finishing above Sunderland.

We should be able to. But unfortunately it's before November.

I'm not sure if there are just so many unknowledgeable, shit "pundits" about or that I'm not looking hard enough. Garth Crooks, Martin Keown, Steve Claridge, Paul Merson, Alan Shearer, Lee Dixon, Jamie Redknapp to name a few who are fucking abysmal.

Darlo 1-0 Heed HT.

£15 on Chelsea, Rangers, Man Utd and Liverpool all -1 £5 on Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool all -2 £5 on Oldham, Brentford, Brighton and Huddersfield

Nice swan!

[in the dressing room] Hughton: It's ok lads, Carlo told me they'd play their kids, so you lot, this is a big night in your careers, go out there and... Ancelotti: Erm... Chris. John, Frank and Didier were just passing by and, well, they really fancied a kickabout. Soz'ard. Hughton: D'oh!

I agree it's not necessary or has the prestige of the FA Cup. However it's a cup nonetheless and I'd want my team to take it seriously.

If his wage demands are ridiculous, I'd agree, you shouldn't sign him. Nor should you sign him on a long-term deal; a loan would be good, perhaps a 2 year contract. From a footballing perspective, there is no way in high hell he'd be anything other than a big step forward for you.

Oh dear, not this again.

A lot of poor passes so far. It's as though his mind is elsewhere.

Couldn't have a more different attitude personally. What would you be saying if you got Northampton at home then an easy draw in the next round? It's a good shot at a trophy. Very unlucky with the draw on this occasion, fwiw. The same thing. It's a god awful tournament that needs to be scrapped. Why?
