    Bournemouth, you're plucky and that but we really, really need this. Hopefully I'm awake for the kick-off.

    Just what the club needs with the efforts put in. The Derry games should be good next year.

    Ranieri. He's been one of the highlights of this season.

    Not sure, there might be a bit of truth to the "form goes out the window" cliche. Lazio's record is bizarre really, no draws and conceded more than they've scored yet still 7th.

    Aye, very well deserved in that respect. I've never seen a more committed group of players at the club either, such a credit to the club. There was 3200 in the ground tonight, so the stadium was packed as the river end is totally closed nowadays. Between 100-200 Limerick fans maybe, good to see those cocky twats going home with their tails between their legs.

    A shame @Don isn't here to enjoy this moment with us.

    If so, I for one, am shocked.

    What exactly are 'The Class of 92' (or Peter Lim) getting out of their Salford involvement? My Greater Manchester knowledge may be off, but isn't Ryan Giggs (Swinton) the only one with an actual Salford connection?

    So he was. I thought he was from Oldham. Still, there must be better ways to get publicity than owning a pub team.

    PR, then. 'You heard about that Class of '92? They really give back to the communiteh.'

    I'm sure I never heard them referred to as the Class of '92 before they retired either.

    They've been called the Class of '92 since about 1993.

    They're business men with interests in a number of businesses and ventures in the area. I don't think Salford is just a vanity project.

    If it wasn't some ex Man Utd players nobody would give a fuck. Jimmy has got an especially stiff boner about it.

    Well there's your answer then, as no business man would buy a pub team to make money.

    The best thing about Ranieri's murderous rant is that he keeps saying "he's a football" [probably "it's football"].

    All this United stuff can fuck right off. But to be fair I suppose for the last 25 years they had to put up with Hansen. It just feels like one of those things whereby the BBC have decided because they are in Manchester they have to make TV programmes the place.

    Why not do something on City?

    Oh and while I remember I think Dwight Gayle might be injured. But if he pops up and scores this weekend I'm calling shenanigans on him. I never see him on the scoresheet but as soon as we play them he turns into Gerd Mullers regen.

    I heard that as "this'a football".

    There's something Robin Williams-like about the whole bit. It's great.

    Yep, fucking wankers.

    In the Championship season they put the game that would seal promotion, away to fucking Plymouth, on a Monday night.

    He's got a gig at the Arena tonight, so he's just playing to his audience.

    The Bournemouth/Newcastle game was pretty poor, with only Ritchie and Rob Elliott showing any quality, but I'll take those points.

    Watford were quite good. They were the better side first half, we were much better than them in the second though. Watford won't be near the bottom three on that evidence. Only criticism would be how easy they made it for us to hold out after they'd scored.

    Nine in a row for Vardy (played Mahrez) and joint top of the league. Fucking well remember these days, Lee.

    It's funny how mediocre keepers, once they've had a stint with a top team, always seem to bounce around the rest of the Premier League until the end of time. Seeing Gomes made me think of it, but there's also Fabianski at Swansea, Almunia retired at Watford...
