That average speed stat is an impressively pointless thing to display.

Ronaldo was more sparky than a damp power line /hudson
Shove it up your cunts 'Barca'.

The scenes had Barca gone up the other end and scored.

Bravo dragging Alba to his feet there looked like a dad lifting his child out of a tantrum on the floor of Tesco.
I was. I really shouldn't listen to you lot.
Didn't you learn anything from the collective betting thread? I'm 11p up for the day. Winning.
What the fuck is that song choice for the highlights montage about? Proper Eurovision toss.
They seem to have been going mental together/keeping Varane out of the side for about a decade now.
Img we won a game
Varane's done well to have been pushing for a spot since he was 12.
I never thought our manager (Karl Robinson) could come close to his previous levels of idiocy when he stated that there was money available in January to spend on our relegation threatened squad but he wasn't willing to do it because "I might sign 2 players and they might get injured".... but he has given it a run for it's money today.
We had a goal ruled out for offside, incorrectly according to him (I haven't seen it) and he came out and said that we got fined for our players surrounding the referee over a decision the other week, but when we "worked hard to improve that" we get punished for it. Are you trying to suggest if we'd surrounded the referee he'd have changed his mind? And how hard is it to say "Don't be cunts".
Seriously sick of the guy now. Come and get him, Villa.
That was a brilliant save at the end there.
Handball for the winner too...
This camera angle is fucking me right up.
That second Man City goal is a cracker.
Top post match interview from Eddie Howe.
'The human brain is complex.'
What was Adrian playing at for that opener?
That's his best free kick yet.
West Ham really did conspire to fuck this up.
I thought Pierre van Hooijdonk when I saw it earlier. You could see him throwing a wobbler if the club rejects offers in summer as well.
The more I watch that the more mental it looks. It should really go about ten yards wide and high.
Payet pissed around with St Etienne for years without moaning enough for Sky and the like to pick up on it so I'd be surprised if he had a strop over another season with West Ham.
He's like an old fashioned 90s import. Rocks up from the continent with a slightly edgy name and haircut, nobody has really seen him play much (although obviously we all play FM etc today, so know the name) and he is unexpectedly brilliant for what is normally a mid-table club. Bonus points for the talismanic set pieces.
The doping isn't us.
Apparently its clubs taking part in European competition between 2008 and 2013. English, Spanish (no shit), Italian amd German. No namimg of players from what little I've read.
God I hope Leicester win tommorow. C'mooooooon you Leeeeeee (and the other one) come on you leeeeeee (and the other one).
Fuck, I've just read something else and it seems we are implicated - as well as Arsenal, Chelsea and Birmingham. Nobody from this squad though, I don't think. Brilliantly the article admits "we have no independent evidence of this". The claims look a bit weak for now but I've no doubt at all this shit is going on and that it's a matter of time before something more solid comes out. FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
I've only had a brief look but to me the guy looks like a Walter Mitty.
There's no a chance that an untrue news story didn't involve the now mighty Leicester. Embrace the drama, son.
Arsenal would be a bit lol given Wenger's moaning about it, but it's probably all balls.
And given Arsenal's injury record. If they're doping they are really really bad at it.
I agree, but I have no doubt that this stuff is widespread whatever the veracity of this particular story. They'll all be at it. The day the Barcelona/Spain story breaks.
Anyway about football, if this clasico showed something is that arrogant Ronaldo is miles better then the Argentinian midget.
Ronaldo may not play well but he is still a threat. While Messi you cut his " foot game" and he is a poor David Silva.
Also I heard Marcelo interview and how the fuck living in Spain since you are 15 and you still talk bad Spanish?!
Must have been a cunt of a commute to play in Brazil while he was living in Spain.
The appeal ruling on Dr Fuentes' blood bags was due last month. The Spanish are probably frantically paying everybody off, since nothing has happened since.I agree, but I have no doubt that this stuff is widespread whatever the veracity of this particular story. They'll all be at it. The day the Barcelona/Spain story breaks.
The Barcelona story was brought here by me in the Guardiola Barcelona days. I was obviously branded as a lunatic at the time and prophetic I said " time is my ally ". Not so long now....
This reaction in the media to yesterday is puzzling. It's all about tipping Arsenal to maybe go on a run now and them not being out of it yet.
Did anyone really think they weren't going to beat Watford or are they just really desperate for another NARRATIVE. Arsenal were never out of this.
They're seven points behind with seven games left and they've showed no signs of being a side that has the mental capacity to go on a run and win the league.
Spurs are still the best contenders to unseat Leicester, but I think it's a stretch to suggest they're going to do it as well.
They're going to win 7 from 7 and win it.
Saying Arsenal have no mental capacity and thinking Spurs haveThey're the team most bereft of bottle in football.
Nope, take your anti-Spurs hat off and read it again.
Spurs are the best contenders because they're only 4 points off Leicester and have out-performed Arsenal all season. But, I'll say it again, I think it's a stretch to suggest that they're going to do it. Think about how far you're reaching when you say that Arsenal are going to win their last 7 games and subsequently the league, when they've done absolutely fuck all to suggest that they will.
Apart from West Ham it's a piece of piss though. Everyone talks about Arsenal like they're an absolute shambles but they know how to turn it on at this stage of the season (just as Spurs know how to down tools and bend over at this stage of the season). The difference this time is that they aren't turning it on to nick into the top four, they're doing it from a better position.
You know, if you were new here, you'd think Giggles was an Arsenal fan.
City away probably isn't, depending on circumstances.
The bigger problem is Leicester having a run of eminently winnable games. I suppose today is the first ACID TEST of their ability to handle THE PRESSURE OF THE RUN IN. If they can take 9 or 10 from their next 4 then I'm not sure anyone will catch them. 12 and it's done.
Football wise I don't care who wins it, though Leicester would be such an amazing story, but for financial reasons I'm all aboard the Arsenal bus now.
City lay down when they practically sacked their manager mid season, but didn't.
I don't think I've seen an Arsenal side 'turn it on at this stage of the season' for a good ten years now. There's a massive difference between scraping into the top four and going on an 8 game winning streak to claw back a 7 point deficit and win the league.
You also haven't factored Leicester into this theory whatsoever. As niko says, if they win their next four games, it's done anyway.
I don't fully believe in Leicester being able to see it out in such unchartered territory. I'd be quite happy to be wrong on that count though and the pressure of the battle at the other end last season will stand to them.
Leicester 0-1 Southampton. Heard it here first.
That Payet free-kick yesterday was a peach. First viewing I thought it'd taken a weird deflection to loop into the top corner so perfectly.
If Arsenal win their game in hand they are one point behind Spurs with an easier run in. To say Spurs are in it and Arsenal not is stupid at this stage. Frankly though I can't see either pulling it off.
I knew Leice'ster were doping. Finally the proof is out. It would be massively surprising if there isn't top level micro dosing of epo and the like in the sport. It's prevalent in nearly every other sport and this one has more money at stake than most.
If Leicester are doping I don't want to know about it. It's too good a story to end with a load of bans.
