Diego Costa just managed to banter his way to a straight red.
Diego Costa just managed to banter his way to a straight red.
Apparently he said 'I shit on your fucking mother' to the Ref
Torquay need a win against Eastbourne Borough and Woking to fuck it up against Chelmsford City next Saturday to clinch their first ever league title in their club's history which I find hard to believe
Yeah, Pique got sent off before for saying it too:

Guardian have gone for your translation.
Also, what a quote:
The midfielder [Soggy Biscuits] said: “According to the ref, [the red card] was because he shat on the whoring mother of the linesman. The TV might have caught it, but I’m sure Gerard wouldn’t have called her a whore or something like that.”
Rooney with a superb challenge from last night.
He got the ball (of his ankle).
You could tell me that's his first tackle ever and I'd believe you.
To go back a page, Liverpool not winning the league with 90 points would in no way be a bottle job. That's just insane.
They need to win something of note. They cant leep going trophyless
They were top at Christmas, so it would be atleast a partial Bottle Job. Especially baring in mind Spurs were called bottlers despite always being the chasers in the season Leicester won it.
You don't win it at Christmas.
There's half the season left at Christmas. It's not the home stretch.
It's all a bit stupid. You have 24 hour schedules and try to fill them up with cut price trash like 'The Debate', paying literally any available ex player to go on there, and then act surprised when one of them talks weird shite.
This is not a strong Arsenal team. And a pretty average Everton are making them pay.
Did the ref just let Arsenal take a quick free-kick, and then after they stuffed it up, brought the game back and let them take it again...?
Do BBC not get first pick per round any more? This one today would surely be a million times more interesting than yesterday.
It's done on fanbase size rather than interest (although in the BBC's case, they're not trying to sell adverts or subscriptions so I'm really not sure why).
It's because, obviously, the weird small man complex of people at the BBC. Rather than embracing the cup as something special in its own right, they simply see it as an excuse to provide a bargain bin version of the #premierleagueproduct (yes I know Watford and Wolves are both prem sides but you know what I mean), and pretend they're sky for a couple of hours. It's why Man Utd VS whoever in the 3rd round was live on BBC for about 15 years in a row.
I honestly think this in itself has contributed slightly to the FA cup's loss of interest.
Ratings is probably how they justify chasing rights.
I have a mate who works in, well, in brokering sponsorships to professional sports teams or something like that, and he thinks that there is a massive recession coming in what he calls the 'sports industry'. Apparently all the broadcasting companies are running out of money for the rights (largely due to changing consumption habits) but the greed of clubs/bodies is exponentially increasing, exemplified (he says) by Daniel Levy refusing to sell the Spurs stadium naming rights for less than about three times what anyone is willing to pay nowadays.
Give it five years and the Premier League will have to take whole rounds of games to America, there just won't be the money over here to keep their gravy train going.
Best RB in the game Doherty is lads. Also Wembley isnt as great as i thought it would be.
When I was flying over London I got Wembley confused with the Emirates for a second. I guess that place has an identity problem, as does most modern new-builds. Can't mistake the Higbury Estate, though.
Was it James who said Raul Jimenez was a dreadful signing? The Mexican Drogba in the big games.
Probably Kiko and his alleged Portuguese football knowledge.

Holy fuck
Wolves made the mistake of deciding to try and shut up shop with near 20 minutes to go.
First goal is a quality finish, but the 2nd was highly avoidable.
What did Deeney do? BT have the highlights on Twitter on a fair lockdown.
Scored a pen?
Won and then smashed a penalty in.
If you can view this, this was Watfords first:

Stick a fork in Wolves. They're done.
Can't recall ever seeing a goal like that before.
Fox link was the first one too. Here is his second

Can't help but think Rui Patricio may have saved the 3rd.
wow
Well that's City with at least 2 trophies then.
Any City success can be brushed away under the 'they bought it' clause, so I'd rather them win all 4 than Liverpool being smug about winning something (somewhat) the hard way.
I'd rather Liverpool win the league than city win all four.
I'd rather Islamic State wipe us all out than Liverpool win anything.
