I fucking hate Pilko for telling me about Sporcle, it's got me addicted. Similarly: http://www.sporcle.com/games/footballleague.php Less ironic after Monday.* *probable misuse of the term 'ironic'.

I think we should stuff the teams and pick teams one by one, so that the last few can be frowned upon, only for them to ultimately overcome this initial disappointment and inevitably prove to be the best players there.

42/42

Late to the post-match reaction but yeah, thoroughly enjoyed it as you can imagine. Almost lost my voice from all the chanting/screaming, but was worth it. Generally electric atmosphere, and a surprisingly impressive performance. Honestly thought it was going to be doom and gloom after the unfortunate Boro goal, but nothing like it - you came right back into it and in the end, could have had more than 3.

That was a pretty big fail there, stupeedo. Only 4 days away. My preparation may consist of getting pissed on Saturday. Go team.

Marvellous Marvin

My preparations will be in full-swing by Friday night - may well be getting pissed. Commitment. I'll let my talking be done on the pitch

El Barça és més que un club. MORE DAN A CLUB LOL! Long day.

Ronaldo - I hope you don't mind but I think I'll just copy you next time

It's the source of his energy.

shouldn't happen either. salry cap is the way, even if it's the uefa mooted percentage of turnover. i alos agree with the earlier mentioned change to the loans regulations but think abolisionis too far. 3 loans a season max? no loans within the same division and for under 23's or 21's only. 3 or 5 max per season lasting for 28 days. Just posted above Liv have a 62 man squad. [move]Fucking hell!!!!![/move] Mind that includes reserves and the youth team, surely?

2-0 atm. Pilko getting rather excited on the old textual.

Have a sneaky feeling Barca and Villarreal will be 2-2.

Aye, metro will be my weapon of choice.

Need I ask what FC stands for?

Already done so

Pretty big. 24 hours and 6 letters to be precise. And I don't agree with the 2nd bit. It's how many points you get over the course of 38 games, not a few against one of your rivals.

Improve the game,... Demolish goodison park, I,see,what,you,did,there,....,..,

And as you've hinted at, unlike Pompey, Boro need to go for it. This will play into your hands IMO. Though again I don't think Portsmouth were as negative as some made out; they could have easily won the game in the end. They killed it off by keeping the ball. Boro simply aren't as good. Errr... didn't you know? A strong defensive display = they're ruining the game! But yeah, they did well. Had a few decent chances. 1-0 on Monday, fwiw.

If it's the same tune that's just been on then it's 'Love Is Noise' by The Verve. Nah, it ain't. Though that's a good song like. Just a generic beat at around half 4 that I found particularly infectious

And as you've hinted at, unlike Pompey, Boro need to go for it. This will play into your hands IMO.

An original way of spelling arseholed

Blind desperation.

Hull score....
