HAHAHA!!!God, this is awesome!!! Cock on a basketball takes you nowhere in football!!!

 

[poet11]

Oh and come on barcodes!!! What a ******* goal by Ben Arfa!!!

 

[Tom]

Newcastle level with Spurs on points? Wow.

 

[poet11]

Man Utd form: WWWWWWW Arsenal form: WWWWWLW Spurs form: ROFLMAO Liverpool form: WTFLMAO

 

[Mus]

Wow. Ben Arfa goal was great

 

[ShearerM4]

Think part of my head assploded at Benny's goal. I will never be the same again.

 

[poet11]

Oh yes! COME ON NORWICH! Our top four hopes might not be dead yet!

My second favourite team doing my favourite team a massive favour!

Two consecutive promotions and a mid-table finish(if it ends like this).

Paul Lambert....a genius?

 

[Sir Calumn]

He is a wonderful manager. Could be in line for a big job soon I feel - Liverpool next season? Tottenham, if Harry goes to England?

EDIT: Why do the Scots make such ******* amazing managers?

 

[1966+2006]

Except Dalglish

 

[ShiftyPowers]

He was good the first time though, right? He only sucks now because he's old.

It's because they are like troubled englishmen. The strife hardens them and they persevere.

 

[1966+2006]

It was more of a tongue in cheek comment. He's actually won the league 4 times, including the PL with Blackburn in '95. On top of that, he won a few domestic cups.

I am starting to feel the maybe Daglish is becoming more "eccentric" in his old age. This look (see below) of complete and utter perplexment appears on his face around 7 times per interview.

"I know the No. 9 shirt is a huge thing in Newcastle - a monumental honour for me," Cisse told the Sun. "Alan Shearer has set the bar very high and I must try to follow the path that he's set. I need to be aware of the past and what the shirt means.

"I'm doing all I can to be worthy. Alan Shearer is the example I have to try and follow. I am not trying to prove I am as good as him - but to live up to what the shirt means. The only way I can do that is by scoring goals and so far it's gone better than I imagined."

You're doing it right, Papiss!

Roberto Mártinez was the saving grace of ESPN's 2010 World Cup match discussion panel, and I developed much love for him that summer ... I have more love for him now, after today ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Oh, come now, Lalas is the worst analyst in world football (only slightly worse than Wynalda), but the rest of the ESPN team was pretty good. Macca and Klinsmann did fine jobs.

 

[Sir Calumn]

You're doing it right, Papiss!

Wow, he's a bit of a hero isnt he. After Diouf it's a bit of a shock that footballers from Senegal can actually be nice.

Macca's an idiot ... I mean he can be unintentionally funny at times, but that doesn't make up for it ... however, I definitely agree about Klinsmann; was a shame he only turned up for like 2 or 3 matches ...

EDIT: I actually like Wynalda ... I don't think he's a smart analyst, and the same goes for Christopher Sullivan, but it takes both of them to provide perspective and a counterbalance for the disgustingly biased Warren Barton ...

 

[MaestroZidane]

Maybe there's still hope for the final game between United and city to have some great meaning.

So happy to see Newcastle that high in the table, god I hope they finish fourth.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Just watching the United highlights...... the disallowed Wigan goal shouldnt have been disallowed, Evans should have had a second yellow card, United should have had a penalty for the Figueroa handball.

Honestly this last few days (since the weekend) have demonstrated some of the worst refereeing I have ever seen in the Premier League. Shocking.
