The Prophet

Why not? Butt and Germi could fuck off for a start and I'd have Pancrate signed up for a couple of years.

...for a boring sunday afternoon. The deal is we've just been promoted, Ashley has given you a limited £10 million budget plus anthing you make off player sales. What would the side look like going into the opening day of the season?

If Wolves go down we should make a crafty bid for Milijas, whenever I've seen them play he's been by far their best player. He would add some much needed creativity to the ranks.

Fucking Swansea just ruined a fifty quid accy absolute bastards.

Would scrap the UEFA and the League cup. Top two qualify for Europe and for the sake of competition 3rd-6th go into a play off for the last spot, would also give others more of an oppertunity to qualify. Introduction of a video ref. World wide wage cap of some form. Would also consider scrapping transfers. Players play for their clubs until the end of their contract and could move on. Players would have the option of negotiating relegation escape clauses and what not. Would protect smaller teams and would bring some meaning to signing a contract

Huddersfield have been in front three times which totals to less than seven minutes.

Is this a sick joke? Dagenham depite having an amazing home record screw me over yet again.

I'm not sure why people are suprised by the nominations of Dzecko and Gourcouff. Both playing instrumental roles in their teams winning their respictive leagues with the latter now leading an impressive Bordeaux outfit into the last 16 of the Champions League qualifying comfortably out of a group containing Munich and Juventus. Villa and Iniseta should be higher. Ibrahimovic and Kaka should be lower.

What promised to be an epic day of football has once again failed to provide the entertainment it should have, still not bad like. Get in Barca.

Ref hasn't let the game flow, Diarra should of been booked, Arbeloa shouldn't. Barca have done most of the pressing but Real have had two great chances.

Lassana Diarra looks completely out of his depth.

Ipswich beat Cardiff.

got to be favourite? What are Moyes' odds? Get stuffed tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if he walks. Unless something dramatic has happened behind the scenes it would be daft timing from Moyes. If you believe reports, he's been close to leaving on a couple of occasions. With the stadium move being firmly rejected, a hugely disappointing start regardless of injuries, and no signs of increased funding, he may well think enough's enough. And as you have hinted at, there could be something behind the scenes. Some of our performances have been so unlike our usual standard of the past few years. If he were to leave though, I'd much prefer him to wait until next summer. Moyes knows Kenwright has no money. Now while it must be frustrating he knew that was the case at the begining of the season hence having to sell Lecott in order to invest. So to walk out now would certianly be odd. I know things haven't been helped by injuries, any team with the ten first team injuries you've had at times would struggle. For me the fact your still floating around mid-table shows your squad depth certainly has improved to an extent over the last couple of seasons and that is a testament to Moyes ability to work with a limited budget. If he sticks around and you can get Bilyaletdinov and Arteta fit again I think you'll see a marked improvement. The worrying thing is your not as difficult to break down as you were in previous seasons, but again you've had Baines and Yobo struggling with injury for the most part. I can understand Moyes leaving at the end of the season, but to do it now without any new reason would be strange, especially when you consider he has such an open working relationship with his chairman.

My flat mate was saying a lad on his course got up one morning and Harewood was in his living room playing FIFA. One of the lasses in the flat had brought him back the night before, nice lad apparently.

I'd imaigne Everton will be pretty direct.

One on each line cost me today, Fulham, Rotherham and Dundee, cunts.

133, don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.

Carlisle home and erm... dry.

Agreed but just saying we need to be on guard. Swansea won't come and accept deafeat like Peterborough did, they'll have a go. They've lost one in their last 11 and have climbed to forth as a pose to Preston who we played on a bad run of performances. Similarly Watford are begining to find a run of form. It would be nice to take adavantage of being on home turf and put some real daylight between ourselves and third though. Edit: They might actually be unbeaten in their last 11, can't be arsed to check. Ironically Preston were the last side to beat them.

Watford and particularly Swansea are bang in form though, could potentially be more tricky then Preston.

How do midfielders, who were statue-esque at times and gave the ball away far too much get 7s? I gave 6s, but I think that's knee-jerk due to a positive result, had we lost I'd of been giving 5s at best.

Harper 6 - Did what he had to when called upon. Simpson 6 - Steady. Colo 7 - Rock solid. Taylor 7 - See Colo. Enrique 7 - Inconsitant going forward, good defensively. Jonas 5 - Worked hard but gave the ball away almost every time he got it. Smith 6 - More of the same, good shift but overly-aggressive at times. Nolan 6 - Nothing performance but scored the winner. Guthrie 6 - The only midfielder capable of keeping the ball then delivering a pass to his team mate on a consistant basis. Harewood 1 - Shit work rate, no quality, can't wait to see the back of him. Carroll 6 - Decent shift, pissing against the wind at times. Hughton 6 - Got the line up right but more mind boggling substitutions.

Good win, though Jonas and Harewood were awful.
