Did the commentator just say Alsopp was described as a former manager as a "blithering lump of lard"?

What an own goal from the Darlo defender, nonchalantly smashed past the keeper. Fucking hell.

So many idiots, so little time.

Big blow, but probably warranted given how much Scottish football has declined this decade. Now it will be interesting to see what happens with the Old Firm, since they won't have guaranteed CL money every season anymore. Unsurprising. Embarassing performances in Europe from them this year.

This show plummets to new depths.

Quality goal there.

They've won 3 of 13 games away from home. Same as Wigan. Yep, hence why they won't finish 4th. I hate to say it but Liverpool are favourites. I hope we have a big say in it yet though.

Man City at home is a scalp apparently. Patronising cunt.

You played well and thoroughly deserved the 3 points. I watched Hetinga put in a very good performance today and thought "why the fuck couldn't you do that at Atletico". I will say i thought Donovan's performance today was overrated. Yes he's got pace and yes he can run past people but his final ball and decision making was pretty poor to me. P.neville was great though and Rodwell is technically very very good. Can't say i'm at all confident about our meeting next week. 2 things i'm happy about though is the fact that you lot usually like to attack (we're shite against teams that park the bus) and Lennon might be back for the game. Gut feeling is that unfortunately I think you'll win - Thursday night will take a lot out of us. I would be surprised if we went to WHL and won, despite the past 3 years. We go there with a lot more confidence than we would have 6-8 weeks ago though, that's for sure. Heitinga has been brilliant recently, very surprised by how well he's fit into things but he has. Donovan whilst he isn't amazing, I think is proving to be definite PL quality. Sometimes though he does show inexperience in terms of being in a quality league - a few times he just aimlessly runs and hopes he'll win the ball as opposed to knowing what he's going to do.

Was saying to a lad at the N-O game, you can't knock Moyes in the transfer market, when was the last time he bought he a duffer. Certainly can't think of too many except for Koldrup. Shame, for his sake, that Everton will never really be able to kick on. Really missed out heavily when they ballsed up the CL qualification. As much as I still rue not getting through (Collina, oh dear), we were never ready for that. Getting 4th was a great buzz without doubt but I fear if we'd have stayed in, yes we'd get to play good sides but I think we would have had an even worse first half of the season. And yep, heard loads of people say it: what would Moyes be like with some decent money? He's shown what a brilliant coach he is, he deserves to have more money. The one thing I'd love for him to do is to leave Everton with a trophy.

Joking about Rooney being in Distin's pocket aside, we were fucking immense today. I always maintained we'd make a European charge but I certainly wasn't expecting 6 points from Chelsea and Man Utd. But anyone who saw either game could barely say we didn't thoroughly deserve either win. And to come from behind in both is particularly brilliant. Today obviously didn't start well - Baines was horribly exposed I noticed on a few occasions for example but once we got the goal (never expected Bily to do too much this year considering how many months consecutively he's played - Russia not qualifying for the WC is great news), we got our act together and tightened up. Neville seeing off Rooney and a free kick aside, Man Utd didn't really have much to shout about. They weren't great but we made them look not great. No surprise that now our ridiculous injury list has decreased, we're proving ourselves to be at least a top 7, and arguably top 4 team. 3 tough away games to the 3 contenders (City, Villa, Spurs) aside, we have a very good-looking run-in. Get in.

I realise it was just a couple of quid but fuck me, how are Montpellier having such a good season; they've been awful here. On the plus side, £25 up for the day. How can I waste it tomorrow?

Couple of the 30 quid from today on an audacious 4-fold: Valenciennes, Lens, Montpellier and Mallorca.

The sooner Darlo go out of business and stop making North East football team look shit the fucking better, the same applies for Boro aswell. But Newcastle are the laughing stock of English football.

Oh my word Darlo. Oh dear.

Not a smart move from Cleverley as Tom takes an early bath.

Their current position is probably a reason behind the lack of quality/confidence.

Now I'm not one to question, but Leeds were probably the one team I'd have avoided with a barge pole today.

Just need Leeds now will win over £500. Bloody hell. Good luck.

I have backed Darlington to win today because Tadhg Purcell is unstoppable. Do you know out about him? The great escape is on, shame Cheltenham are winning.

Get in there.

Howay Colchester, only dropped 8 points at home this season. Surely they can muster a goal against flipping Oldham?

Oh man, it's not looking good for Phil.

This score is a blow for Hull's hopes of 7th place.

£10 on Colchester, Newcastle, Swindon. £2 on Cardiff (sigh), Scunthorpe, Chesterfield, West Ham and 2 other teams I can't remember.
