Football 9th and 10th of April

[Mellberg]

And I'm out for £405 :cool:

[Reg]

Spurs will win, but the Man of the Match award should go to van Gaal for the boldness of trying to reinvent Ashley Young as a striker.

[Mellberg]

Bastards!

[John Arne]

Darmian's 'beard' is a bit special.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol, we're so shit.

[Yevrah]

There's been a rape.

[Lee]

Fucking hell just a complete collapse. Watching United being shit doesn't get old.

[Mellberg]

Bloody hell.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I have to say, having spent a lifetime watching United inevitably come back from any minor adversity and win everything, it's lovely to see them collapse into this sort of rubble.

Don't like the 'You're fucking shit' chant though. Have some class and celebrate your own team.

[Yevrah]

lol, we're so shit.

You're just so unbelievably average. Martial aside (and even he's not I]that[/I] good) there's nothing in the team (largely driven by the horrible way you play) that even whispers excitement.

[Ian]

Still, at least we had all that posession in the first half.

[Lee]

They've gone to Geoff Shreeves to tell us Pochettino has gone for a piss?

[Giggles]

I bet he forgot to remind them that it's just Spurs at half time.

[Kikó]

Spurs are comfortably better. All goals down Darmien's side.

[Lewis]

Don't like the 'You're fucking shit' chant though. Have some class and celebrate your own team.

This is what I meant months ago about Tottenham thinking they're important now.

[John]

I'm not having that Fosu Mensah bloke being eighteen. He's thirty one with two kids and a divorce.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Football 'fights' are so brilliant.

[John]

Diogo vs Luis Fabiano. :drool:

[CJay]

Damian came on and 8 minutes later it's 3-0 with all the goals coming from his side. True? :D

[Lee]

"They should call him Kyle Runner, not Walker."

Alright.

[Kikó]

I'm glad we haven't fucked van Gaal off so we can enjoy this.

[Magic]

Best side in the league.

[Lee]

I like to think we'll seal the title with a goalless draw whilst Spurs win 10-0.

[Ian]

"They should call him Kyle Runner, not Walker."

Alright.

Commentary of the day goes to Tyler's mental, rambling yarn about Alderweireld, Pocchettino, the latter's missus, learning the word 'snoring' and a Shakespeare film.

I saw someone lolling at that on Facebook. Was the first half really that bad that a story about Pochettino taking his bird to the pictures was better than talking about it?

[Giggles]

Best side in the league.

Table says otherwise.

[hfswjyr]

I saw someone lolling at that on Facebook. Was the first half really that bad that a story about Pochettino taking his bird to the pictures was better than talking about it?

Yes it was.

Not even that upset about the goals we let me. More pissed off that we had only 1 shot on target the whole game. Worst I've seen Utd I think... ever?

[Lee]

Our remaining home games are as follows: West Ham, Swansea, Everton. We'll be heavy favourites for the latter two. Our two away games are against Man Utd and Chelsea. Neither looks that daunting based on this season's showings. I'll be surprised if we don't get nine points from that lot but we only need nine if Spurs win all of their remaining games which I just can't see happening. This is happening.

[Lewis]

Who shaves the point of their hairline?

[Ian]

"Toby.... or not Toby" was the opening gambit. The first half was shite but Tyler has also lost the plot.

[CJay]

Speaking of - where has Toby gone?

[Max Power]

Really am personally gutted that the best team in the league are still seven points adrift, it's such a shame for football

[Davgooner]

Just make sure it stays that way.

[Giggles]

Speaking of - where has Toby gone?

Yeah didn't realise he'd been gone so long. Coming up on a month shortly.

Where are you Toby?

[Byron]

Have him and Harold been seen in the same room?

[Boydy]

He was moving back to the mainland so he's probably stuck without broadband for a bit.

Although I guess he has a smartphone and this place is easy enough to browse on it these days.

[John Arne]

Just heard on the radio that Pellegrini put 38yr old Richard Wright (who hasn't played for 4yrs) on the bench at the weekend, rather than England U21 goalkeeper Angus Gunn. What's the point?

[Giggles]

We've lost another good 'un lads.

[Gray Fox]

Really am personally gutted that the best team in the league are still seven points adrift, it's such a shame for football

I personally think Leicester should give the trophy to Spurs. It's clearly false positions in the table.

[Giggles]

Souness is starting a petition as we speak.

[CJay]

Equally, what's the point in putting Gunn on? Maybe he's rewarding Wright's admirable loyalty? :p

[leedsrevolution]

Maybe he's just the better keeper out of the two?

[Jimmy Floyd]

The second keeper is mainly there to give the first keeper a good warm-up, as far as I can see.

[Shindig]

Ours keep each other company in hospital.

[Byron]

As usual, Garth Crooks has had fun with his team of the week;

Kasper Schmeichel

Michail Antonio (as in, right winger Antonio)
Steve Cook
Toby Alderweireld
Alberto Moreno

Jason Puncheon (obviously playing as a holding midfielder)

Divock Origi in the centre of midfield
Glyfi Sigurdsson
Alex Iwobi

Jamie Vardy
Andy Carroll

[Boydy]

Antonio was playing at right back on Saturday.

[Reg]

Anybody watching? Forest have one win in 10 so we should win, and we can't afford to drop many points if we're gonna catch one of the top two.

[niko_cee]

I like the fact they've gone with an attacking line-up. Play-offs are basically a given, so it's all about the wins from here.

[Reg]

That's a point, might as well go for them all now. Although we pretty much always have an attacking lineup. I guess Rosenior as a winger is the one that makes it more cautious.

[niko_cee]

That Skalak chap doesn't half hit a good set piece.

Unfortunately it's all likely to come unstuck on Friday as I'm going to the game. My other two this season being 0-1s against Wolves and Ipswich.

[Reg]

I'm not sure we're winning this one so might not be able to blame the curse of you attending. These really should be two wins.

[Lee]

Don't fuck it up against these cunts, for fuck's sake. If we win the league these and Derby can shove Clough up their arses. :cool:

[Reg]

Not sure about the Wilson change, we've not had enough of the ball in the second half.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Reg]

He'll get more caps than Michael Ricketts, is my bet.

[Smiffy]

.....

[niko_cee]

:dance:

[Reg]

That'll do. :) Stress-free 2-0 wins from here on please.

[Samadini]

Kazenga Lualua in a league above Newcastle :harold:

[Vim]

Milan has sacked Mihajlovic. Apparently four places improvement over last season with a rotten squad wasn't enough for Berlusconi.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That must be up there with the worst run clubs in Europe. Their duel for 6th place with Sassuolo is laughable.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Max Power]

Chelsea win things though. Milan are rancid.

Berlusconi and Galliani dying in a helicopter crash would probably be decent for the long term health of the club.

[Vim]

Of the country, even.
