It's bloody lonely in here when Newcastle are playing. City again, how much luck is it possible for one team to have in one season?

Niel will be livid. Deep cross for lanky Crouch hee hee. Jesus, how did Chelsea not score that? Well done keeper.

Elokobi is absolutely fucking massive.

Jesus, bloody Saha scored. Whatever next?

According to the Beeb it's underway at WHL now, which means an awful lot of disappointed paying customers at Goodison Park.

Can't see Wolves keeping Chelsea out here. Neither defence looks up to much, but that means it comes down to the best attack, and that's no competition.

They've come out of the blocks really quickly.

Scratch that "almost"!

Bloody hell, what a shot, Wolves almost scored.

Seen our strikers? fair enough. Think they might actually do all right today, though they're both so disappointing.

Have they got essentially four centre-backs and four centre-mids playing?

Christ, when you see the West Ham team written out it really doesn't look good.

So glad I don't have to deal with him any more. Being in the US has many pluses.

Not sure why I thought it would be different this year!

Isn't Europe 5th this year? Is it going to be extended to 6th? Genuine question.

Who's this new guy Man U are bringin on?

Why would you want anyone to lose to Man City?? Utterly disgusting team. [/(fucked up the)quote] Oh I absolutely agree, but I'm Spurs, and (a) it's Arsenal (b) I want the team we're most likely to be battling with for fourth to lose. I worry that it will be Arsenal rather than City.

I just can't bring myself to want Stoke to win, even though it might help us out. Tomorrow will be even worse - I have no idea who I most want to lose out of City or Arsenal. Who do people think will finish higher?

The managers can rate the refs, as far as I remember. Don't they give them a rating after every match? That's very interesting, and would mean the marks making a lot more sense. Depressing, but more explicable.

Isn't this the one where Chelsea are in second place for "Respect to Referees"? Ha, and furthermore, ha.

Yep, sounds about right!

He has an annoying face.

Can see Man U and Arsenal streaking away this year. Relegation looks like an almighty pile-up, although Wolves might be well adrift after the next few games.

I know it's only paper talk but if we flogged Carroll for Bentley, Keane and £8m I'd be frankly furious. Keane value: Zero, maybe £1-2m max. Wants out, not playing and over the hill - this would be his last move. Bentley value: £3-5m. Basically hasn't kicked a ball for a year and wants out too. Redknapp needs to be told to gtf just out of principle, the massive twitchy-faced bellend that he is. It's nonsense, obviously, the main reason you'd be looking to pick up Bentley and Keane would be precisely because you've got Carroll. I wish people would stop talking gibberish about some players' worth though. Players are worth what you're willing to pay, and Keane and Bentley will be decent players for a lower Premiership team. Prices are settling down now, but Kenwyne Jones went for 8-9M, Poulsen for 4.5M, Koscielny and Gyan for over 10M. I'd say Keane 3-5 and Bentley 5-7 sounds reasonable separately. It's wishful thinking to think you'd get both for max 7M.

West Brom, Wigan, Wolves. West Brom have played lovely football, but had almost no luck at all. I think this will continue, as they don't have too many options up front and I suspect Odemwingie will dry up. I think clubs like Brum and West Ham are going to scrap their way out, despite being pretty poor.
