Nice to know QPR are f***. You want Wigan to win?

I completely understand and agree with the decision for e Europa clubs to play their games on a Sunday, but it still bugs me getting up on Saturday and knowing that there will only be a handful of Prem games. And my team won't be one of them.

nice try - Mirallas is playing, and we're also missing Defoe, Gallas, Kaboul and Sandro. And in another boost for you, Hibbert is injured. My team is shitter than your team! ("no, we're shitter etc. etc.). Agree that both teams need to win or kiss CL goodbye. Seems that Moyes has decided to flood the midfield, which usually works against us. I think we will struggle big time out wide, and we really need Ade to get some confidence with an early goal. Our only attacker (even attacking midfielder) on the bench has never played for us.

BBC Sport: GET INVOLVED Elliot Bambrough: (external) "Gunners doing it without Theo, Wilshere, Vermaelen, Podolski. Interested to see how Spurs get on without just the one Welsh lad." Nice straw man you've got there . We'll be missing Bale, Lennon, Defoe, Sandro and Kaboul, of course. And Gallas, but meh.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll be quaking in their boots at the thoughts of winning in... Switzerland. If Bale is out it's a blow, but I imagine they'll still go to Basel and win. Have you seen Basel? They're really good. They were better tactically, worked really hard and broke at speed. A proper good side, was very impressed tonight. I think we might sneak it, but we're likely to be missing Defoe, Lennon, Lloris and Bale, (and Kaboul and Sandro). No width at all. It's going to be a cracking match if tonight is anything to go by.

That's what Villa-Boas speculated though. He said something similar after the Sandro injury and he was out for the season. Weirdly, it's made me more relaxed about the rest of the season. I was ready for a white-knuckle ride, but now (obviously rationalizing madly) I don't expect CL or even the semis of the EL. Either would be a pleasant shock. I wouldn't be as worried about Bale missing if Lennon hadn't got injured as well, which leaves us with precisely no wide midfielders. The kids (and Bentley) are all out on loan.

Mint. Lennon and Bale almost certainly out for weeks.

Changed a bit now. They're looking like a good team, and they're playing the classic away game, men behind the ball when we have it (and pressing when we get into their half) then looking to break with speed. Going to be two great games tbh. Wish Lennon hadn't got injured.

This game is nuts. They've gone for broke, pushing people forward every chance they get, which means it's completely end-to-end. Cracking game, but terrible defending on both sides.

What did he say?

Your predictions are wild "Yeah a 4-1 definitely. That, or a 2-2". I see you take s*** from no one. Please take me as your servant. He takes shit from absolutely everyone, and then posts it all on here.

Karma bites back. As soon as that second article came out I put both quotes side-by-side on a Spurs forum. It's not karma, he knew full well the implications of his contract as much as he knew the implications of Bilic's. It's just bullshit. The man's a bullshitter, which is fine, as long as (a) everyone knows that, which surely they do by now (b) he isn't managing your club, so it doesn't actually matter. As I said on the Spurs forum, I'm very grateful for the job he did for us, yet I'm also very grateful he's no longer doing it.

Horrific clubs coming up it would seem. Think I've asked this before, but does anything change in the loan rules when moving from the Champ to the Prem? Can Watford simply carry on as they have this season?

Win-win for you guys I reckon. Even if he does get a new manager bounce and keep them up, it's surely only a matter of time before the shit hits the fan. It's going to be bloody entertaining for you guys either way (as long as you don't go down, natch).

3 draws I've only seen wins tbh ...which makes it all the more unnerving that you said "not seen us lose" rather than "only seen us win".

Eh, why are people suddenly shitting themselves? 1st goal: A penalty. 2nd goal: s*** defending at the back and not paying attention. 3rd goal: An own goal. I think because 1st goal: s*** defending at the back and not paying attention. 2nd goal: s*** defending at the back and not paying attention. 3rd goal: s*** defending at the back and not paying attention. 4th goal: s*** defending at the back and not paying attention.

here here. Where? There there, Dave.

Nice to hear. So Townsend is the only one trying for QPR, and Rose is the only one playing well for Sunderland. Mint. Townsend has looked good when I've seen them tbh, absolutely bags of energy. Lacking a bit of quality but he should be a decent player. I like him. Was really disappointed that he went out on loan (he's probably our only real cover for Lennon/Bale) but it seems to have suited him down to the ground.

Good enough to beat us

Naah, though you could argue that the Berbatov saga actually gave him his job. Berba left at the end of the transfer window, a few weeks before 'arry came in. If we'd got a proper centre-forward in with the money, then who knows - we might have got more than the famous two points from eight games. As it is, he then had a wodge of cash to spend in January.

Freudian or deliberate?

As a long term devotee of Primo Levi, I love that third post.

That is probably the worst post I've ever seen on any forum. It's so ironic that the guy who wrote that post has an avatar of a girl wearing a t-shirt with fascist on it. Didn't see the avatar, but if you meant the horrendous post then that's not ironic, it's just apt.

The problem is that the spectrum on the site is massive. The idiots are spectacularly stupid and offensive, and there are quite a lot of them so (1) they are aggressively stupid (2) the intelligent ones respond aggressively, either because the post is so offensive or the original poster has already shown aggression to be the only tone he understands.
