Atalanta v Juve just started. Will Juventus lose even more ground?

I don't think the absences of Xavi, Iniesta or Messi will be doing them any favours. Yeah, I dont mean just this game though, they don't seem as scary without Eto'o. As a few people have said before, Eto'o defended from the front and caused the opposition to mistakes, meaning more chances. Ibra offers something different.

Henry 3-1.

The goal came just as Mallorca had a decent control of the game.

2-1, despite a triple save from the keeper. Pedro not to be denied.

You can tell Mallorca aren't short on confidence - trying a volley from the edge of the area from a corner. VI - is Dani Alves injured?

Oh and it's Wolves 1-4 Arsenal. Arseshavings got a 4th, before Craddock pulled one back. Jody's a goal machine.

2-0 ===> 4-0, and Auxerre have scored.

Mallorca equalise.

FTTW's thought of the day, #62.

Pedro, 1-0. Ibra's through-ball was ridiculous.

2nd half possession: Wolves 19% - 81% Arsenal. According to this commentator, "that 19% possession is a bit low for Wolves - it should be a bit more than that".

Bollocks, forgot to put on that £2 European bet I posted earlier. It's looking fairly decent atm. Always tomorrow I guess. Fancied Depor? Got to say I didn't, Getafe are fairly useful at home.

Village Idiot, thoughts on the Mallorca game? Can we expect a goal-fest or could it be a frustrating night for Spain's finest?

Click on one of the dates there to see it in full. It amused me considerably.

Sunderland-supporting friend of mine complaining about how much bad luck they had today. As far as I can see, they missed their chances (according to BBC the penalty was tame)? Also, he's conveniently forgetting the Blackburn game they barely deserved a draw from let alone the win, and also Beachballgate. Perhaps luck does even itself out?

Don't you have something better to do? Going to Atletico is like being given three points for Real. Won six out of the last seven games there, with the seventh game being a draw.. I'm not so sure. Just think Atletico will be spurred on by getting that last-minute equaliser against Chelsea. I'm going for a draw, 2-2 again.

Aye, some fierce complaining there.

And Jake - I'm not touching the Madrid derby. Atletico may well have got confidence from their draw against Chelsea in midweek, and the nature of a typical derby means it's fairly unpredictable. Juve however, I would get on.

Ended up a sensational £5 up. Better than a loss I guess.

£5 on Newcastle and Blackpool. 50p on draws for Plymouth, Leicester and Reading. 50p on Villa, Pompey, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal, Boro and QPR. £1 on Stockport, Shrewsbury, R&D, Northampton, MK Dons, Grimsby and Chesterfield. and £2 on Mainz, Lorient, Nancy and Le Mans-Auxerre draw. Hmm.

Tomorrow, I'd imagine.

Not in the mood for light-hearted jokes, then? Edit:

Age caught up with him at Newcastle.
