Interpolic

They're the gift that keeps on giving at the minute.

No but your lass has! http://i46.tinypic.com/29cq44j.jpg More after the break.

:lol:

Not just saying this but it sounds like they're shitting themselves.

Look at us, look at us, we're in with a shout of qualifying for the Champions League. Pathetic.

They boycotted Jonathan Creek yet?

If we did get 4th then it would be the greatest achievement since football began, given the difference in resources and expectations between us and the likes of Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool this season.

STOP GIGGSING!

WUM attempt or have you not seen the recent table? They're 12 points behind us with 15 max to go. I voted yes though for the craic, I see no reason why not after last night. Silver object, big ears, the magic of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, etc.

Or draw Parti... Partiza... I can't even say it. We'd draw them horrible twats in the qualifying rounds and Shearer would miss a penalty.

I've just completely and utterly fucking contradicted myself btw. "I'm not thinking about it... but this is what I think about it". Div.

I think it's very much dependent on Spurs's form btw (yeah, no shit) - they've got some 'easy' games but Saturday was an 'easy' game on paper and they lost it. If Spurs continue on their current downward spiral and keep losing 'easy' games I'd back us ahead of Chelsea. Although I do have a nagging doubt we might not get the 6 points we'd realistically need from the next 2 games in order to give us a good chance going into the last 3. Hell, we're in with a shout and in some ways that's enough.

Refuse to commit myself one way or the other. The overly complicated Europa League qualification thing has made me put my head in the sand and largely ignore the whole business other than having an admiring glance at the table now and then, which actually suits me down to the ground. Taking it game by game with intermittent "Fucking hell, we're 5th /6th" or whatever is satisfying me enough at the minute, but I have to admit Saturday was the first time CL qualification really crossed my mind. Absolutely top drawer OP btw.

FFS.

I went to Notts Forest away in September which was obviously his first game back after the injury and that goal yesterday reminded me of a moment in the second half in that game and also what I posted afterwards, not knowing loads about the player since I don't watch much foreign football and mainly going off what I saw that night. That's really harsh and way off the mark. Definitely. I think Guthrie did alright last night, was more involved than Abeid. Impressed that he managed to put in 120 minutes after not having played for so long. Anyway it was a funny one last night. Goals aside you'd have to say it was a fairly drab match and there wasn't much pattern to the play from either side. Ben Arfa was brilliant, I really don't think I'm overreacting here () - he was quite quiet for the first 15 minutes but then he started getting on the ball a bit more. The guy is so comfortable on the ball, it always looks like there's nobody anywhere near him because he has such a confident air about him while in possession. There was a moment in the second half when he drifted past 3 or 4 players before encountering their last man - on that occasion he opted to pass (to Lovenkrands I think) but with a few more games under his belt I think he'll just go for it himself in situations like that. Another thing I liked was that he wasn't afraid to come deep to find the ball when he got fed up of standing and waiting for it. With a few players around him that have movement and intelligence (and we do have a couple) I'm just really excited to see this kid ingratiate himself in our side now. In summary, he's the fucking dog's bollocks. Ratings: Elliott 6, Simpson 6, Coloccini 8 (MOTM, looked solid and classy after an early wobble, kept Perch out of trouble, scored the winner), Perch 6, Ferguson 6, Gosling 5, Abeid 6, Guthrie 6, Marveaux 7, Lovenkrands 7, Ben Arfa 8 (subs Obertan 7, Sammy 6, Shola 6). Special mention to the kids behind us that were absolutely thick as mince. As soon as they got to their seats they opened (yes, opened!) with "McClaren is a paedo". Mere mortals would be discouraged by this chant not catching on despite 100 attempts at starting it (they even changed the melody to the Sammy Ameobi song halfway through, presumably to take advantage of its popularity) but no, these lads continued this long into extra time and I imagine long into the Nottingham night. Persistence outstanding, brains non-existent. The bit in bold is evidence of what he was trying in his first game back when he looked rusty but a class above anyone else on the field, I'm glad that he's now back to the stage where he'll just run past players and go for goal himself as he has done against Blackburn and now Bolton.

Looks as if Ben Arfa is the excited member of the public. It does.

With you. Like you say though the bans are fair enough.

It's bite o'clock!

The thing is that non-English sides don't seem to have a problem taking it seriously. Look at the last 8 most seasons and there are some big foreign sides still in it.

You reckon?

Maybe you should be a bit clearer. Might stop all these arguments.
