Good. I've thought for a while it'd be a good idea to introduce a week's break before the traditional Boxing Day fixtures, and move the round of games on the 28th to the New Year's Day after. Best compromise between traditional fixture times and a mid-season rest.

*2009 You're right though, scored a lovely goal in the Copa del Rey final. Beat a couple of men on halfway, motored forward and slammed a shot in off the post. Technically VI is also right as it was in the 2008/2009 season Hey, the final was in 2009.. I wasn't being a dick like, but if you want to get pedantic.

Hughes 11, Shearer 30, 33(pen), 42, 81, 84(pen) Dyer 46, Speed 78 He won a penalty though. Aye, that's it. Only really remember it from the highlights tbh. Could've been a ball boy at it because I won a competition in the paper, but chose the game against Derby instead.

Robinson scored in that, no?

Him spinning around five times looking for the ball which was bouncing out around 20 yards away was fucking hilarious though

With injured players, particularly strikers, it's generally better to see the form they're in rather than just coming back to playing. Except Aguero, who'll score, fuck his hamstring, come on next week for 10 minutes, score and fuck his hamstring again. Go for Tadic, Southampton have looked impressive attacking and he seems very involved and more likely to score than Silva (as much as I love him as a player). Considering getting Mané in myself as a differential option, as Ward-Prowse is injured and I have a bit of cash to replace him.

Sturridge wouldn't be a great idea since he's injured. Gerrard basically has penalties and corners which isn't enough to warrant his price imo. Everyone has Sterling so you can only stay level with the pack. Take your pick.

Mm, would make defensive midfielders worthwhile. Centre backs tend to get some in lower scoring games.

Messi also, in his infinite wisdom, has noticed the increase in awareness of assists and has realised that he should have ridiculous amounts of these too.

Azpilicueta sets up Costa

I know Neil Baldwin from my time at Keele University in the early 90s. He was a singular individual. The urban myth was that he was a professional footballer that had been run over by the number 18 bus that used to run through the campus and as a result was given a flat on the campus. Obviously that was utter bollocks. He used to watch us play 5-a-side and shout 'Ee-aww, donkey' whenever anyone f***ed up. I'm totally freaked out that they have now made a tv programme about him. Wtf. Was he nice and well-meaning like on this or a bit weird really?

:lol:

He of course doesn't believe goals have crossed the line when he is shown this to his eyes.

What the fuck's up with our strikers if Dummett is making that run into that position for his goal?

Hope the club burns down to the ground. nice

Are we all ready for another hilarious late equaliser in a 3-3 draw?

Fuck off Dummett

At pardew? Of drugs?

I'm pleased because it's got the biting pun in but it also actually makes sense. You could work for our papers.

Abeid's always the scapegoat man, he's played his role perfectly.

We're going to end up with City in the draw again.

Aye, you can imagine people in the future who didn't know better would think he's one of our great managers for having broken our trophy drought.

Rotating Begovic and Krul as my keepers atm, only kept two clean sheets between them and they've been on my bench each time.
